Several readers of an astronomical turn

after until December appears as morning

The Saunterer is quite ready TO believe
that Bishop Hall will develop the church in
Vermont amazingly and he knows from
personal observation that there are many
small communities scattered throughout the
state there public worship has practically
ceased Bishop Hall has already given
evidence of the ability and energy called
for in missionary work of the kind needed
in Vermont. As to the transcripts com

The Transcript adds: "All this is very
suggestive, but there is another side to the
picture. The Vermont people are the de-
scendants almost wholly of New England
Purtaus and Scotch Covenanters, and that
is not very promising material out of which
to make high churchmen. 1t is true that
great numbers of the country people up that
way have fallen into religious indifferentsm,
but this indilferentism is often a stage still
farther away from Anglicanism than it is
from Evangelcaism. And the eX-French
Canadians are not likely to show any degree
of friendliness toward Bishop Halls mis-
sionary efforts. However, whatever expert.
ments may be made in this direction will be

THE SAUNTERER.

Bishop Hall and the Outlook for Episco
palianism in Nermont-The February sky.
The Saunterer doesn't know whether or
not the Boston Transcript is recognized by
Episcopalans of the Hub and vicinity as
the official organ of that church. He has
noticed however, that since the election of
Bishop Hall it has taken great interest in
the field where the new bishop is to labor.
Some comments which the newspaper in
question made the other day are so interest
ing at this time. and so much more interest
ing if truo. that they are herewith reproduced:
"Bshop Halls conservation has been the
chief matter of interest this week with a
good many Bostonans who not only have
an affectiOnate interest i'll Father Hall, but
are anxious, as churchmen, to see how he will
develop church interests in an almost virgin
soil. The Listener had a conversation yes
terday with Nermonter which may be of
interest to such people. This gentleman,
VINO has an intimate knowledge of the ways
of life social condition and history of the
the Vermont country people, said: 80 far
as the common, d-fashioned people of Yer
mont are concerned the Episcopal church
simply has no existence. If they know any
thing at all about it, they are suspicious of
it, and they would be likely to be doubly
suspicious of an English bishop. But know

wAsHINGToN, Dec. 1A.-An visitors TO the
Washington Navy Yard have been accustomed
10 go down TO the dock to see the old Dale, which
has been the receiving ship here. There never
was much TO see on board of her. but she has
seen so much service, has been commanded By
men so notable, and has become a veteran in so
honorable a manner. that It is something TO say
one has been aboard Of her. Now IL has been
decided by the Navy Department to do away
with a receiving ship at the Washington yard,
at least for the present; so her officers have
been placed on waiting orders and the old vessel
will be removed to Baltimore for the use Of the
Naval Reserve. She will probably be used
by them for their short summer cruises,
and In the winter for drill at seamanship and
great guns. Despite her weather-beaten APP
pearance and the dismantled look given by q
deck house over the spar deck and the absence
Of rigging and masts, she is yet In very good con-
ditlon as to hull, and after a thorough calking
will be almost as serviceable as ever at least for
short cruises.
