THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH.


Rev. ]. P. D. Llwyd, Of st. Marks

discourse yesterday THE Episcopal
bration of the death of Washington, the
speaker claimed the great patriot and
statesman as an Ep.scopalian In church.
manship, and pointed out the close rela-
ton existing between a large proportion
OF the men whose thought and character
shaped the beginnings of the nation and
this church For example were given
BENJAMIN Franklin, Alexander Hamilton,
Francis Hopkinson and Robert Morris,
who occupied neighboring pews In Christ
church, Philadelphia, at the time when
Washington worshped there.
1.-THE first services ever held in the Eng
lish tongue on American soil were held
by clergymen OF this church" he said.
Roughly speaking. the Episcopal church
stands for two great facts: Historic Chris
tian.ty. as distinguished from later
growths. Starting upon her mission in the
dim twilight of Anglo-Saxon life. she has
accompanied its growth until the present
hour. helping to form Its institutions, its
parliament. Its conceptions OF order and
liberty until the empire OF her children
bids fair to become universal, and to car
ry up to equal eminence this noble form
of el.gion Second. reasonable Christian
ity. as distinguished from systems Of
theology, fabricated by human brains and
then Imposed upon other minds. The
Episcopal church has never built fence
around the mind Of Christian men, Her
creed is not an artificial confession of
faith pretending to explain all mysteries:
It is a simple statement of facts and
forces"
