The bishop next uttered a solemn
sanctification of the work, in the course
of which he struck the corner stone
three times slowly with a mallet, say
ing: "In the faith of Jesus Christ we
place this foundation stone, in the
name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost-of the ST. Glenn
ents Memorial church. All repeated
the Nicene creed, and the first address
was made by Bishop Gilbert.
I'm March, 1892 said the bishop,
"Archdeacon AppIeby met DR.. Theo-
dore Eaton, of st. Clements church,
New York, in that city. The latter said
he had always taken
A DEEP INTEREST
in the diocese of Minnesota, and that
on the occasion of baptising a resident
of Minnesota he had been given in
return a deed to 100 acres of land in
that state. This deed DR.. Eaton trans
ferred to our diocese, through the arch
= l,a nd
even the location of the land was I'M
known to the donor he expressed
wish that the property be eventually
sold for the purpose of constructing
church in Minnesota to be styled ST.
Clements. DR.. Eaton died in 1893. The
next year I was notified of the desire
on the part of his widow to donate
$25, coo in order to build a st. Clements
church in my diocese, thus carrying
out her husbands wishes. 1t has been
found that this church, if completed
for the sum named, could not be en-
bellished with a spire, but Cass Gill
bert, the architect in charge, has just
telegraphed me from New York that
Mrs. Eaton wishes to add the spire at
her expense. The original plans will
therefore be carried out in their entire
ty. l have placed the church here,
after consultation with many in the
diocese, because I feel that we lack
strength and Importance in the great
centerS of the state, and because I
have at length concluded that it is de-
sirable that bishop should have a
church for the special performance of
his official duties-a church which he
can call his own. This is not, however,
a cathedral.
MAKE NO MISTAKE
In that respect. The cathedral is in
Faribault, and must so remain as long
as the precious life of our reverend
Bishop Whipple is spared to us and
the diocese"
Archdeaeon Appleby added a few
words in praise of the bishops wise Sc
lection. and of his own admiration
for the bishops great abilities and sin
gular personal attractions. He also
mentioned that Mrs. Eaton would sup
ply the new church with magnificent
altar, a baptismal font of Parian mar
BILE, an east window, being made by
Tiffany, and to cost 1900, as we'll as
valuable articles formerly used by the
Church of the Annunciation in New
York. The latter includes cross,
candlestick, an altar rail and other
objects of artistic workmanship
Rev. DR.. Morgan, rector of St Johns,
welcomed the new church within what
are strictly the boundaries of his own
parish. He called particular attention
to the fact that most of the success of
the Emanuel mission, the nucleus of
the new church, was due to the I'M
renting labors of Rev. C. E. Haupt,
rector of the Church of the Messiah, and
of Mr.. Osborn, the lay reader He also
commended Rev. Ernest Dray, who
will have charge of st. Clements.
Bishop Gilbert likewise eongratu-
lated the new parish upon its posses
sion of Mr.. Dray as rector A hymn was
sweetly sung by the little boys, an Of
fertory was taken up for the benefit
of the work in hand, a final prayer
was uttered. The blessing was pro-
nounced by the bishop, and, while the
choir sung a sweet and lingering re-
cessional hymn, the procession formed
again, and slowly departed from an
other spot of earth made sacred to
the house of God.
