BISHOP wHITEHEAD's INTRODUCTION.
1.-THE thought OF holding this meeting in
Carnegie Hall was prompted by the en-
amples we received from England This is
no reason why addresses by the gentlemen you
will listen to tonight should not elicit as much
enthusiasm and applause as addresses on other
subjects, and we secured this unconsecrated
hall so that we might give vent to the enthu-
slasm awakened in your hearts 1t is with great
pleasure that introduce to you my very Right
Reverend Father and Brother Bishop of New
York"
Il am accustomed to speak in churches" said
Bishop Coke. land 1 don't know whether it will
be a sermon or not. but that was the spirit in
which received ii. 1 hope there is as much bene-
fit to others as to me in meeting of this kind.
1 am surrounded by mis- ssionary host earnestly
engaged IN setting forth the ideas OF the spread
of the gospel. We have those with us who have
light and faith. 1 catch life and new resolves
in such a body as this, especially when sur
rounded by the missionary bishops.
This has been characterized non-heroic
age. But there are faithful clergymen whose
lives are devoted to the best interests of their
fellowmen, little as these same fellowmen
sometimes seem to know it, They live in
poverty and on poor fare and never murmur.
That is true heroism."

Greek mission. and eulogized the work of DR..
Hill and his wife, and in building up-tbe church
