c5-Tn q country wonderful for eeelesiastical
growth and expansion Says the Baltimore Saal
there Is nothing more remarkable than the rise
Of the Protestant Episcopal church TO its present
dignity and power. Its early connection with
the Church Of England, whose official head was
the king. exposed it to peculiar dangers in the
revolutionary war. and the violent overthrow Of
England's sovereignty over the colonies might
have seemed fatal to the American church. The
condition in which IL was left was indeed such
that q conception then Of the position Of the
church to-day would have been beyond the fur
therest reach Of fancy. The services on Tuesday
last in eommemOra,ion Of the Tooth anniversary
Of the Diocese Of Maryland have. therefore, q
peculiar interest The ceremonies were Of very
impressive character, and the address Of Bishop
Lay on the colonial history Of the church was
eloquent and scholarly discourse that is quite as
interesting to the general public 10 ehurchmsn.
