The first session of the council took
place at 1880 o'clock Ut St. Matthew's
church. aud Bishop George W. Peter
kin delivered his annual address and
report OF the work in the diocese. Tho
address was lengthy but interesting
one. and among other things ho spoke
OF the Shol,ering Arms Hospital, an
Epiecopalian institution located in the
midst OF the Kanawha Valley mining
region. The bishop said that during
the year past bcquest to this institu.
ton had been received from tho late
Mrs. Charles S. 0idcn. OF Princeton, n.
j., amounting to Sl7.l12 70, The re-.
ceipts OF the hospital during the year
amounted 10 So, S2G II. and the cxpen.
diturcs were $3,25S g, leaving balance
oil SGS ii. The number OF patients re.
ceived was ZIG, and the average cost per
patient was SIS. The strikes in the re-
Sion OF the hospital had crippled its
workings somewhat, but tho bishop ez-
pressed the hope Of returning prospect.
| ty. Tho income from the invested
funds OF the hospital now amounts to
$1,000. lie hoped that tho establish
ment OF local hospitals throughout tho
state would not create neglect OF the
Sheltering Arms, which is distinctly q
church enterprise.
The bishop referred to his visit TO

accomplished there. During tho year
he visited GO places in Vest Virginia;
places visited elsewhere, 45; total places
visited, lis; number OF visits, 1855; ser.
