was never in so strong or active a state
in Minnesota as now. Rev. Mr.. Apple
by read the report of his years work as
general missionary, and it vas de-
servingly praised and ordered to
be printed. His salary was in
creased to 81, 300 a year. Several chang
es in the lay of the church in this dio-
cese, by way of addition, were given
and referred to the committees to which
they properly belonged.
A very noticeable feature of the
council is absence of mere talk. 1t is
evident that the men have not come to
amuse or to be amused, but to do the
church'S work, and it has not an inter-
est but is represented by able and ear
nest men, who know its law and needs.
Some have spent a life in the study OF its
ofices,as the Rev. William Pope, M. A.;
some in its educational interests, as
Rev. j. Dobbin, d. D., and Rev. Drs.
Kedney and Sterrett: some are flame
with missionary zeal, asRev.J.A.Gi lfllan
who is superintendent of missions at
White Earth, who is here with seven
Indian deacons and Indian lay dele
gates; some are busy with the multi
form duties of parOchial work. Here
are busy laymen, with whom religion
seems to agree, if the rotund figures
and brilliant remarks are an index, put
the whole stick to the business IN hand
like grim death; and they look back
upon the years past like men who see
in the history of their church a promise
and a prophecy of yet greater and
nobler c%onquests.
At s p. m. a missionary meeting was
held, the speakers were Joseph WakaZo.
an Indian, Rev. Mr.. Rollit. Rev. Mr..
Baker. and Bishop Gilbert. The noble
ness, the herolsm, the usefulness, and
the hopefulneSS of missions were the
subjects discussed, and they received
such consideration as they deserved.
The day is past to defend missions. The
day is here to tell what they have done.
and this was the way at st. PauPs last
night. Truly the council of the diocese
of Minnesota is a great fact, and a great
power. There is nothing good it does
not strengthen, or bad 1T does not mean
to weaken.
Tomorrow at s a. m. in Holy Trinity
church Rev. Mr.. Rollit is to be made
priest, and at $50 the council meets in
st. Paul's church. In the afternoon it
adjourns. and the old graduates go down
to Faribault to be the guests of Rev; j.
Dobbin, at Shattuck schools, to eat din
ner and make speeches..
