the Work-What Bishop hes~
hire Says of the Missioner.
1t is now decided that the mission
which was appointed January 10Th
Goth is to take place ten days earlier,
January 3d-12th. This circumstance
has been brought about by the Pa
rochial Mission Society because OF the
pressing demands upon the time of
our missioners.
By this arrangement the mission
will be in progress whilst the minds
of our people are engaged in the
religious exercises OF the week of
Prayer" 1t is not our purpose to
detract from these saced services but
we trust, rather, that our work may
be all the more effective with such
prayerful spirit pervadlng the com
munIty.
In regard to the missioner himself,
the Rev. DR.. Barrett, from being the
Dean of st. Luke's Cathedral, AT
lanta, Ga, was called To give up him
self TO this work, for which he Is
eminently fitted. This work also,
has met with the approval of the
Bishops and other clergy of the church
and he is greeted with appreclatIve
congregations wherever he goes.
In commendaUory letter read by
the rector TO his congregation last
Sunday, Bishop Cheshire speaks of
Dr. Barrett as follows
II can most cordially commend DR.
Barrett TO you and your people. l
have not had the pleasure of knowing
him personally, but l have had OPP
portunitles of seeing the character
of his work in these special services
and sermons. He has not only deep
religious feeling, but spiritual power
and illumination, and an intellectual
force not often comnlned in the same
' degree in the ordinary preacher or in
the extraordinary evangelist. We are
commanded to love God with all our
heart and soul l believe DR.. Barrett
Will help your people to teel the appedi
OF Christ and his church TO the high
est and best IN mans mind, as well as
in his sentiments. Popular preach.
| ing Is also apt To ignore the Sacrd
menJs and means of grace These are
appointed and required by Christ
Himself. You Will doubtless be
strengthened by one who is making
the broadest appeals 10 the human
heart and mind, and in bringing the
| power OF the gospel TO bear on the
| people, is not forgeLful OF the essential
WHICH the nave
| in the economy of GODS Church"
We humbly trust, therefore, that
| our community will be especially bless
| ed by embracing this opportunity of
being edited by one well qualified to
| present the cause of Christ in our
| midst
Ii may he we'll TO state that DR.
| Barrett receives no remuneration
| from US for his services, that being
attended TO by the Parochial Mission
| Society 1t Is our custom, however,
| always to take collections at services.
| We shall not devidte in this instance
from our rule. The proceeds will be
| devoted TO the expenses OF the mis-
sion, which dev0lve upon ourselves
| and especially TO the cause Of Pa
rochial Missions, by which we have
been beuef1Lted We commend the
| following prayer to be u ed by all
| Christian people who may be seriously
| interested IN the salvation of souls:
20 Lord bless, We huubly pray
Thee, the service that is to be he'd IN
this place. EndOw those who shaiI
labor in 1T, with the spirit OF power
and Of love and of a sound mind, con
vert the impenitent, raise up the
fallen, strengthen the weak, give more
grace to the faithful. Now may al
through Jesus Christ our Lord
Amen"
The hours of services will be an
nounced in due time.
