Concerning the matter of coadlu-

Il look forward with n measure of
hope to more strength and ability to

" necessary the appointment of a

Resolutions We're adopted as fol-
lows:
This convention, in receiving the
annual address of its beloved diocesan,
the bishop, desires to express its deep
sense of the unfailing devotion to, and
in his work, shown by his report, his
PRAYERS for our welfare, his wise coun-
sci, his timely suggestions and his
loving sympathy. 1t is peculiarly strik-
ing that, amid his own sorrows and
anXieties, he should have our interests
so thoroughly at heart. We cannot
forget that the best years of his long,
useful and busy life have been given
to the diocese of Quincy, nor with
what unfailing zeal and unselfish de-
votion he has filled his Episcopal du-
ties. We desire especially to record
our grief for the repeated and severe
| Affections with which it has pleased
an ALLOWING Father to visit his SER
want. We tender to our dear bishop
and father in God our heartfelt SYM
| pathy. and express the earnest hope
that it shall please God to restore him

he loves so well, to which end we offer
