An eloquent address WAS delivered by
the Rector Of Trinity Parish. setting
forth the claims of the people Of the
| Episcopal Church upon the people Of
this community. The Reverend speaker
began by saying that the Episcopal
Church, although Of long existence in
the Nation, was by no means under
stood IA to It's faith, discipline and wor-
ship. While none doubted that she was
| Church of Jesus Christ, yet few we're
aware that she regarded herself az
linked in unbroken chain with the
Church Of the 10 in the Upper Room
at Jerusalem. To substantiate this
claim the speaker referred 10 the plant
ing of the Church in Britain in the ear
liest times by ~. Paul and Joseph of
Artmathaa and that history showed
such Church to be Episcopal in
its government, and Of the Same faith
and worship a. pertained to this Church
today. The mission work among the
Saxons, A. ID. GO, by the monk Angus
tine and his band, and the reformation
Of the 10th century in no way destroyed
the identity Of the Church planted by
Apostolic hands. He also pointed out
that the Roman Church in the early
days, which sent over Augustine to con-
vert the SaxOns, was in no wise like
the Church Of the present day, which,
Notwithstanding its motto Of seMper
eadem bore the uucatholic accretiOns Of
the middle ages and of modern times.
Also that the reformation in England
differed WILDLY from that on the oonti-
nent under Luther and Calvin, in that
the first retained all the marks Of ApOs-
t0licity, while the latter lost much that
was essential In the Catholic faith. The
close union between the Church in Eng
land and tho American Episcopal
Church was further. dwelt upon at length,
and instances given Of interoom-
munion between the daughter and
mother Churches constantly TAX
ing place. So that tho Anglican
communion, a part OF the Church Cath
Olic and Apostolic, II nov TO be found
represented in all parts Of the known
world.
Tho speaker, in closing, congratu-
lated his Reverend brother, the
minister in charge, and the people of
tho district upon the progress already
made, and trusted the time was not far
distant whom the Chapel might enter
upon separate and healthy existence.
At the close Of the ceremony . bOuu-
A. A. - -
the Chapel, was served at the residence
OF 4n. Thomas Taylor.
