EPISCOPAL NOTES.
Matters of Interest From Bishop Ken
bricks Quarterly.

dfIch quarterly.
The January number of the New |
Mexico and Arizona Mission, including
Ell PasO, Texas, is at hand. This is a |
! quarterly published by Bishop Ken
drick and covers his diocese in an |
/ interesting style. Among other things
| the review says:
Our most important vacancy is at
Trinity church, PhOensX, Ariz. 1t |
! should be filed with a strong man.
Here is u growing town, with a popula-
ton Of from eight to ten thousand, at
| conservative estimate, the capital OF
/ the territory, with very attractive
winter climate, and at low altitude.
We have here church building and
rectOrg without any debt, and con-
gregation of about a hundred cOmmu-
nic&nts. + The Brotherh God Of
st. Andrew is making It's appearance
among US. There is large and
. fiouris shiny chapter at St. Clements
church, Ell Paso, Tex. a substantial
+ chapter has been organized at Eddy,
, N. NJ. The chapter at Las Vegas, n.
M. has been reOrganized. y beginning
, has been made at Trinity church,
+ Phoenix, Ariz.
In speaking of the work at Mesa,
Ariz., the bishop refers to local mat
tiers of interest as follows:
: The Consolidated Canal Company
: takes the water out of the Salt River at
\ Vic DOIlU StlcClCu ny GDc VI maj 4IOI
mon settlers. This was also the spot
where the Aztecs made their head
gates, as is evident from the remains OF
ancient masonry. Leading from the
t head-gates, the consolidated canal has
/. its foundation on the solid rock for
l. 800 feet. For the distance OF q mile
d the main canal is forty feet wide at the
: bottom and twenty-five feet deep. It
e is then lessened to a depth Of fifteen
n feet, but its width is maintained. Two
y enormous dredges, one of which has
t cost $40, 900 and the other SO 600, are
It in use. The system irrigates 10000
a acres OF land, of which some $4,000
d acres are still available for settlement.
: The land is some of the choicest in the
II west, and is adapted to great variety
e of fruits. which can be marketed from
u three to four weeks earlier than the
:, products OF California.
e Rector Martin of ST. Clements
p has an excellent article in the Review
W on Church Work on the Rio Grande, OF
which he is abundantly qualified to
speak from long residence here anG
wide acquaintance. In concluding his
remarks the good dominic says: There
are clergymen in the church who judg
ing by their actiODs, seem to think i
good for their parishes or missions tC
be kept in a continual state of fermen
tation, so to speak. This may work
well elsewhere, but it would be dan
gerOuS course to apursue here
Peace must be maintained at al
hazards. The church with her quite
ways and reverent mode of wOrshi p
cOmmendS herself to the favora BILE
notice of men of all classes. They LOOK
ut to the church for peace, and we mus
d, not disappoiDt them. We must evel
10 be at peace amongst ourselves anC
with all men, so far as in US lies.
This Is the course to be pursued by
clergy and laity alike; for, will
peace within our borders, the rapiG
: growth of the church is assured il
every place, but where envying anc
p. strife is, there is confusion in every
evil work.
Assistant Rector Andrews ha:
also an interesting article on FL Paso
II and vicinity. Santa Fe, Albuquerque
v Tucson and other points in the diocese
id are covered, showing that the work
