peared in yesterdays Herald, and
said:
Il am very glad Of an opportunity to
correct that report. 1t grossly misrep-
resents what | said. First. l spoke Of
the Well known intelligence and fair
mindedness of the people of Maine, and
then | told how small the Episcopal
church was in this diocese and how
little was known of our church's claims
ana teachings. The reporter omiite q
all that was complimentary to Maine
and described the rest as meaning u
literatc and ignorant"
The Boston Journals report Of the
same address said:
The bishop delivered sermon in
the course Of which he said:
The State Of Maine is doing its
work in a small way, as far as our
church is concerned. There are many
people there who have never been
taught to observe Gods teachings.
There are many children who have
never been brought to the church, and
many who have never been confirmed.
They have not been taught the beau
ties of our church. Many | have found
who are like heather.
=" The people mean we'll. but they are
very illiterate. and do not know how
important it is to worship God
The church is a family of baptized
persons. Down there many children
have been stolen away from the mother
church. I tell them the Episcopal
church is the mother church. and that
the mother likes to bring them up to
he good members Of the family
