Phillips church Owing to an affection of

when he is to preach at Waycross. He
thought on Thursday that he would not take
part IN any service in Atlanta, but such
great stress was brought upon him to preach
at st. Phillips, and he felt 90 much better
on Saturday that he consented to lead the
service and make brief address. The an
nouncement drew a large congregation to
St. Phillips. despite the unpleasant-
ness of the weather. The new
bishop makes fine appearance
in the pulpit. He read the morning PRAYER
in q most impressive manner and added a
new dignity to the service. After a sermon
by DR.. Upper, Bishop Nelson talked to the
congregation few minutes. He laid great
stress upon the necessity of all the people of
the diocese working in harmony for its up
building. He said that he was perfectly
willing to devote all his life and energy to
the good Of the diocese. but declared that
all his work would be without much result
unless he had the unanimous support and
cooperation Of the people. Now was q
good time for dropping all petty jealousies
and blending together for the service of the
Lord. The new bishop speaks easily, but
with force. He has deep, resonant voice
which he uses to great advantage.
