bishop Foster began reading the episcopal 81
aress. After eongratulating the assembly upon
i.s au.picious meeting and passing enlo,,ies
upon tie dead officers and iavmen, il states
that the past quadannum had been a prosper
Gus one IN the church and that no bishops
haa died. The bishops have made more than
oO,ooO assignments Of ministers and families
WI win % Dut little dissatisfaction. Work
IN foreign nelds has been given
more than ordinary care. Bishop waidron WIS.,
ited Mexico and South America in 1880 and
nelo conferences an various South American
states. Bishop Warren visited Japan and
ohlna, being the first bishop TO visit Corea.
Sisnop Hinnap Newman visited Japan; Bishop
Ninae visited Mexico and Bishop Fowler
and held conferences in the yarious
nations OF the earth. Bishop Andrews and
BISHOP Goodsel visited Asia. and Bishop
Malsalieu looked after Russia and bulgaria.
These visits have had beneficial results. as the
same KIND OF Methoaism prevailed in every
country visited. The increased number OF
bishops has not decreased the work to any
special extent A century Of growth has made
our book concerns the largest in the world.
Ihere was loud applause when the reading OF
the Episcopal message was finished. A resolu-
non was adopted ordering 5000 copies OF il to
DC printed and properly distributed. and tina.
the various portions of il be referred 10 the
proper committees.
