I LONDON, Nov. 14.-St. Pauls cathedral
to-day Was the scene of stately service in
commemorstion OF the one hundredth ami
versary OF the conservation of Bishop Sea-
bury, the frs. American bishop OF the Pro
testant Episcopal church. The service was
conducted by the archbishop of Canterbury,
assisted by bishops from London, Winches-
ter, Durham and Albany.
AT one point in the services the matrieal
version of the Nineteenth psalm was sung.
The same was sung at Aberdeen one humid
red years ago to-day, on the occasion of
Bishop Scsbury's conservation. The text
from which the Archbishop Of Canterbury
preached is found IN Numbers, 9Th chapter
and 10Th verse The distinguished preacher
alluded to the relations of England and
America century ago. The American
Episcopalians were, at that time, compelled
to depend upon England for their church
government Three thousand miles
Of ocean made a wide and dreary
space between the Christian Cock and
their bishops. Little by little the
church was dropping into decay. 1t was de-
scri6ed as heing in captivity. Its fragments
were scattered, its bishops were met with op-
position. and religious organizations we're
employed 10 assail it. When the crisis
seemed at hand and the American church
was feeble and disabled, the Scotch church
came 10 its rescue. Three bishops of the
Scotch church laid their hands in solemn
conservation upon the chosen man in the
upper chamber, and so impaired 10 the new
work the gilt Of free, Wild aud purely eecle-
siastieal episcopaey for which john Wesley
prayed, but for which be could not wait.
Alter eulogizing the life and character of
Bishop Scabury, the archbishop said:
''The church OF America was humbled be-
cause II was loved BY God. She was made to
suffer long aud to hunger, in order to prove
her strength. The successors Of Bishop Sea
bury numbered 139 at the present time.
From the trials of the church, lessons of
patience and eontentment were TO be
learned. The archbishop concluded his dis
course by giving expression TO the deep
sympathy and interest felt by Eng
ish churches toward their Ameri-
can brethren. The church in America
had great aud glorious future
before it. After the sermon many of the
congregation remained to partake OF the holy
communion. This was administered by six
bishops, two each from America, Scotland
and England. There were altogether twenty
du Lac and the bishop of Minnesota.
