THE BISHOP TO CHILDREN.
Annual Letter to the Little Ones Of
This Episcopal Diocese.

Bishop Whttle has just issued his an
nual letter to the children of the Episco-
pal Church in the Diocese of Virginia.
He saws:
My Dear Children, year has
gone, and l must write TO you again. TO
ask you to help us during this season of
Lent, which is at hand, to raise money
to pay our missionaries, as you have so
kindly done for several years past. have
nothing new to tell you-it is the same
old story about the work of our Mission
airy Society. Let me first try 10 explain
to you what that society is. and what
it is doing. The State of Virginia is di
vided into two parts-that on the other,
or south side of James river, is the Do
cese of Southern Virginia. that part on
this side. where you live, is the Diocese of
Virginia. In our diocese there are about
$50 churches. Many OF them are in cities
and towns, where the congregations are
large enough to support their own minis
tiers. In Richmond, for example. there
are fourteen churches and chapeis; in
Alexandria there are three; i'm Fredericks-
burg two and so on.
But there are six or seven times as
many Of our churches in the country as
there are in all the cities and towns. The
people Of these churches are farmers. few
i'm number, and scattered about, and un-
able to give enough to support their
ministers There are more than thirty of
three. four. and sometimes as many as
six different churches, and still these
churches working together. are not able
10 take care of them and their families.
These ministers are called missionaries,
not because they are not as good men as
our other ministers, but simply because
part of their support comes from outside
of their own churches. Now, the work
of our Diocesan Missionary Society Is to
raise the money which is needed from
outside to enable the ministers 10 have
services in all these churches, baptize'
and teach the children, visit the SICK
hurry those who die. and do all the other
work Of their office. You see, then dear
children. what a great and glorious work
Won are asked TO help; IL is the same
which was done by the Saviour when he
was on earth, and which He tells US an
10 carry on-that is, of preaching ms
Gospel. as far as we can, TO every crea-
fure What you have done in past years
has been of the greatest help TO the So
cietv. and / hope you will try to 90 nor
los bur more this Lent than ever before.
That our Heavenly Father may Tx
care of you. and provide Tor an H your
wants. is the prayer of your loving irieho
and Bishop.
