A Noted EpiscOpalian.

Rev. William Charming Langdon, who
died at Providence, r. l., Tuesday, had
an international reputation. He was born
in Burlington in 1881 and at the age of 10
graduated from Pennsylvania college. He
was appointed assistant examiner of the
United States patent office in 1851, and
later became chief examiner. In 1856 he
began the practice of patent law, but soon
afterward began to prepare himself for the
Episcopal ministry. He founded the
American Episcopal church in Rome, and
on returning to this country was rector at
Havre de Grace, Md, from 1862 to 1866
In the general convention of 1865 Dr.
Langdon brought forward the subject of
Italian Catholic reform, and was appoint
ed a member of the joint committee, and
sent to Italy in this behalf in January,
1867.
He remained abroad until 1878, acting as
the agent of intercourse between the
bishops and clergy of the church of Eng
land, and of the American church, and
those members of the Latin churches that
were inclined to reform. He was especially
active in bringing about relations between
the "Old Catholics" and the American
bishops. In this connection he was pres
ent at the old Catholic congress in 1872, in
Cologne, and also at subsequent congresses
in 1873 and 1874, as well as at the reunion
conferences in Cologne and Bonn in 1874
70. He founded Emmanuel church, Gen
eva, Switzerland, in 1873, and was in
charge until 1875. He received the degree
of doctor of divinity in 1874 from Gambler
college, Ohio. He became rector of Christ s
church at Cambridge, Mass, in 1876, but
resigned after two years on account of i'll
health. He was next called to Bedford,
Pa, where he remained until he went to
Providence.
