| Church, Greenville.
The Rev Dwight Galloupe. rector of St
| PauIs Church, Newark, came In ana
managed to create small sensation by
4 his clerical garb. Mr.. Galloupe was the
chaplain of the Ninth Infantry on the
! San Juan Hill charge where ne dlstn-
| guished himself by grabbing rifle ana

| blockhouse Since his return he affects
| light blue, semi-miltary suit, ana TINS
was the target for lots of fun by the
| clergy.
"Say Dwight, doesn't look orthodox,
better get it dyed black said one rector

member of church militant, you know
COLOR of embalr ed beef said anoth-

| Bishop raped for order and called up
missionary business read the report OF
/ the Jersey City archdeaconry. 1t was
as follows
! my dear Bishop-The missions of this
| archdeaconry almost without exception,
have made marked and substantial gains
| young missions in young towns. They
will soon become vigorous missions IN
small small things. @ They are now buying land

names have secured the best sites ana
| won the bulk of the rapidly growing pop
1 ulations and then to have the church en-
| ter and take what may be LETT. II y
| to have the church the first to eStaDllSn
| her missions in these new towns, to ac-
| ouire property and to be quite ready for
| further growth. Several OF the missions
| are even now entirely out of debt 9th
| ers are working to that end. The future
Calvary Church, Bayonnes, has entirely
| been receiving from the Board Of Mis-
sions. One hundred dollars of this was
relinquished more than year ago Ihe
since my my last report 1t is now entirely
| self-supporting. Its report will be found
among the reports tha Of parishes; panad sbenhard
year ago it owed 5000. Eight hundred
dollars of this was owed to Mrs. Walter

Sherwood offered to take s5Oo In a.sa satis1ac, e.
tion of her claim: That left $500 to be
| raised The people of the mission with
great zeal set to work to raise this. They
/ raised s446 and could 60 no further. Of
the remaining s154, Mr.; Henry Hayes gave
Point slO4. This was the last gift, she

| and is simply extraordinary to those OF
| rs who know the mission. Mr.. Whitaker
| also holds successful services at Closter,
| Aradell and places adjacent. The mission
| of st. John the Divine has recently been
