xEw A1rAB AT TRINITY CHURCH


 Unveiled Yesterday-The Gift of Mrs. Dr.
 Bishop-Bishop Barker at Trinity Church
 Yesterday.
 The elegant new altar, the gift of
 Mrs. Dr. Timothy H. Bishop, which
 has been placed in Trinity church,
 was unveiled for the first time yester-
 day, and makes a most beautiful or nament to the church. Together with the handsome pulpit which was placed in the church some time ago, it gives the chancel an elegant, rich and beau- tiful appearance.
 It is built of the finest Italian marble, with Mexican onyx mosaics. It is ap- preached from the front by marble steps, and directly in front is some very beautiful mosaic work. On each end of the altar is the figure of an angel, and the center piece is a marble wreath of grapes, in the center of which is the Chi Rho symbol. The center of the wreath is also inlaid with mosaics of Mexican onyx. The top is plain marble slab bearing the words Holy, Holy, Holy" chiseled in the marble with gold leaf. The altar is the work of J. & R. Lamb of New York city, and is said to have cost at least $40OO. The inscription will be placed upon it later.
 The Rt. Rev. William Morris Barker, bishop of Olympia, Wash, preached most interesting sermon at Trinity P. E. church yesterday morning. His dis course was devoted entirely to telling the people something of the life of a missionary bishop on the Pacific coast He said that the work was quite pleas ant in the summer time, when one could take a trip of 400 miles in a steam launch on Puget sound and vicinity, as he had done last summer, or make trip through the mountains. But in the winter there was nothing to be done but consume the remnant of his salary, $1,500, or to come east and stand criti- cism. Many preferred to take the latter course. He then told something of the work that was being carried on in Washington. He spoke of the growing school for girls in Tacoma and the four hospitals, and said that in many and many town the simple story of the Masters life was being taught. The attempt had been made to minister to twenty-five places in one county with the use of some laymen. These laymen are oftentimes uneducated, many of them not being able to speak a dozen grammatical sentences, but can speak to their comrades in shingle mill or a 1 lumber camp with a pathos and power that a college man or divinity school student could never attain.
 Continuing, he said: "While I was at | Duluth, Minn., I was on the board of missions and I thought knew some l thing about missions. When went out | into western Colorado thought knew still more. But when went to Olympia l was staggered at the prospect of the | field there-the lack of means of carry | ing on the work and difficulties to be | overcome. There is such a leadership | Think'of fifty towns that have no spirit | ual leader!
 During my work I have traveled up- wards of 70,000 miles, and always make 1t a point to look into the face of the engineer. Careless and indifferent as | he may appear, beneath the grim in 99 | ,ases out of 100 he would ride right down | to his death for the men and women behind him. He recognizes his steward ship of humanity. And shall we let Jim shame us? We who have the power of giving the opportunity for religious development should do our duty as Christians. I need $10,000 to carry on the work as it should be during the coming year. I will endeavor to make he best use for the Master of any gifts of which you may choose to make ne the steward
 In the afternoon Bishop Barker at St. Thomas church and in he evening at St. Paul's. Large col ections were taken at all three churches for the furtherance of the mis- 'ionary work in his bishopric.
