memorative OF the Rt. Rev. Edward Bass,
ID. D., who was consecrated bishop of
Massachusetts and Rhode Island on May
Z, 1877.
Bishop Bass was great great grandson
of the Deacon Samuel Bass mentioned in
these columns last January as first ances
tor OF the Bases in America. He entered
Harvard college at the age of thirteen and
six years after graduation he accepted a
call to the Episcopal church at Newbury-
port. While settled there Bishop Bass, as
sisted by high Masonic officials, laid the
cornerstone OF the present st. Paul's edi-
flee on May %, 1900. In anticipation of
the centennial the old structure has been
newly painted and renovated.
The mitre which Bishop Bass placed on
the top of the belfry to indicate that the
church was the cathedral church of the
diocese has been regilded and restored to
its original position.
The loan exhibition Of articles associated
with the public and private life of Bishop
Bass was a feature OF the celebration. In
the new parish hall there were exhibited

Bass, silver cup made by Paul Revere and
presented to the bishop, prayerbook and
bible used for many years by the bishop.

OF Bishop Bass.
The Rev. d. d. Addison, rector OF All
Saints church, Brookline, gave paper on
the early Life OF Bishop Bass" In OPEN
ing he said:
"The best blood of Massachusetts, flowed
in the veins OF Bass. He was a direct de-
scendant of John Alden, whom tradition
honors as the first passenger of the May
flower to set foot on Plymouth Rock, and
Priscilla Mullens, the fair maiden who
was bold enough to intimate to John that
he ought to speak for himself when be
came TO press the suit of Miles Standish,
brave in war but timid in love. Ruth AL
den, daughter Of John and Priscilla, was
the great grandmother of Edward Bass. ("
BY tradition and habit the Bishop of
London was then overseer OF the churches
in America and all rectors had to go there
for conformation. The church of Eng
land was naturally OF the Tory stripe but
Bishop Bass had the happy faculty OF OBJ
serving neutrality although he suffered
persecution from both sides. He was a
sound divine, critical scholar, an accom-
plished gentleman and an exemplary
benevolence, piety and charity were I'M
limited and his humility grew with the
honors conferred upon him.
so far was he from claiming the dis
tinctions appertaining to his rank that he
did not receive them without sensible
pain and constantly exhibited a winning,
example of meekness and gentleness
which gave lustre to all his accomplish
rents and all his virtues. E. L. b.

that it is no secret that King George of

lowed by declaration of war against
Turkey. Any doubt that all the powers
have assented to blockade to the gulf
OF Athens has been finally removed,
but the details of the scheme are now
incomplete. The admirals of the inter-
national fleet in Cretan waters will de-
eide whether and when the blockade
will be effected. 1t is obvious that it
cannot be established immediately. as
the squadrons must be increased. This
implies a delay of several days. All
the dispatches received here from spe-
cial correspondents concur that if the
step be taken it's inevitable result will
be that the Greek troops in Thessaly
will cross the frontier into Macedonia.
