The reception last Wednesday night
was everything that could be expected.
Mr.. Blackett was Ill and was unable to
be present with his distinguished guest
and friend, but made his appearance
for little while in the reception room,
where he stopped long enough to pay a
we'll merited eulogy to the new bishop,
reciting at some length the ties that
bound them so closely; he said: II have
worked hand in hand with Bishop Nc.
Golrick these many years. IhaYe called
upon him many times for help in car
rying forward some philanthropic
schemes. and there never was a time
when he didn't respond, and do more
than I asked or expected. We shall
miss him sadly in more ways than one.
I account his departure misfortune to
the city, and, knowing him as we'll as [
do, and recognize ing the place he has
taken in the community, felt that
something was due him from his friends
outside the Church at this juncture. l
am extremely happy in being able to
throw open nv house 10 an assembly of
this sort.'' The little speech was re-
ceived with much feeling by the bishop
and his friends. Mayor Babb, being
i'll, was unable to attend, but sent his
regrets. Letters were also received
from many prominent people outside

attend. and wishing the new bishop
