Episcopal church in st. Paul to have q
color line?
The Church Mission society of this
city is not defunct; it Is merely takinga
short rest for the purpose OF recupera-
ton. The society is at present without
a missionary. and 1t Is expected that one
OF the first things to be done at the next
regular meeting of the executive COLI
mitee will be to appoint clergyman to
take up and carry on the work left un-
provided for by the resignation OF Rev.
Samuel Mills. An effort will prob
ably be made at an early date to form
an estimate of the income which will be
available. This income is derived from
three sources: ID Memberships paying
stated annual subscription; t2) the
sums given in response to special ser.
mons preached in the city churches; 90
the amounts raised by the eXerti0nS of
the various missions served by the mis-
Sioniry. 1t is to be hoped that the
mission society will receive such sub
stantial encouragement from the mem
bers OF the several Episcopal churches
in the city as will warrant it in placing
competent and energetic man in the
field. The policy of the mission society
in the past has been to start new miss
with regular services and pastoral over
sight. and gradually, after the building
up process has been carried on long
enough. leave them in position to be-
come self-dependent. This policy has
been quite successful in the case of one
or two of the older missions.
~
st. Peters, on Dayton's bluff, is fully
incorporated as parish, and its vestry
recently made systematic effort to test
the financial strength, or rather financial
Willingness of the parishioners. The re-
suit was, they found, that by combining
with another organized parish the sup
port of a rector could be secured, and
accordingly the vestry cut loose from
the mission society and extended call
to the former city missionary. st.
Peters sister parish is st. JOhn'S-in-the-
Wilderness, at White Bear. one of the
oldest parOchial organizations in Min
neS0ta. 1t is said that Trinity parish at
st. Paul Park, another protege of the
society, will unite with ST. Mary'S, at
Merriam Park, also an Old parish, and
thus enjoy regular clerical services and
rectOrial guidance. st. Matthew's, at
st. Anthony Park, has been taken under
the wing of Christ Church, and is being
most aeceptablY served by the Rev.
Edgar Haupt. A new church building
is in course. of erection, and there are
many evidences of an onward move
ment towards an independent existence
st. James, on Mississippi street. is an
old mission of st. Paul'S, but has been
cared for by the mission society since
the latter was organized. 1t has a
church building which is not encum-
bered by debt, and as the people are
nnviAuo n bavo raun1nr nhurah cArVinQc
and can raise a large proportion of the
expenses, it. is very probable that the
mission society will see that they are
properly provided for until they can be-
bone entirely independent, or form an
alliance similar to those alluded to
above.
The 372d anniversary of the mailing of
the ninety-fiye theses on the door of the

character. An address on The Re-
suits of an Open and Closed Bible,"
by Rev. Mr.. Petri, was a remarkably
strong effort ana made marked i'm

Considerable Roadway is being made
with the erection of the new Central
Presbyte church on Cedar street,
opposite the capitol. When completed
the edifce will be the finest church
building in the city, and d standing
credit to the zeal and enterprise of the
PresbyterianS. The cost of the build
ing is S50,000. exclusive of the lot. and
it is expected the church will be ready
for occupancy the early part of the new
year. The pastor, Rev. MacLaren. Is
at present enjoying weil-earned va
cation in his native country, and is ex-
pected home towards the close of this
month.

ceeds to be devoted towards the chapel

useful and ornamental character will

to by many of the most prominent ladies
of the city, who have refrained from
making purchases in this line of goods
until this sale of work IS held.
