Bishop Benjamin Tucker Tanner, d.
D., l.. l. D.. of the Fifth Episcopal
District returned to Philadelphia with
mis- esteemable family during the past
week TO meet the Council of Bishops.
Bishop Tanner is always a welcome
visitor TO Philadelphia, where he is so
well Known AS editor of the Christian
Recorder, and Quarterly Review, he
impressed his individuality so indel-
IDLY, that he is one of the best known
authorities in the country. AS a writer
ne has few equals and no superiors.
His historical and theological works
take front rank among the works of
the greatest writer's of modern times.
His excellent productions in hymnol-
ogy adds a wealth of pOetical inspira-
ton to the musical department of our
church. which is invaluable. Bishop
Tanner returns from the West looking
the picture of health. His presence at
the preachers meeting at the last
two sessions, was fraught with much
interest and pleasure to the brethren.
"The Defender" greets the Bishop with
our warmest consideration.

SPECIAL NOTICE.

The Defender" as promised, re-
sumcs publication. The clamor of
the people for the continuance of the
paper, has encouraged US, but we cannot
run such a costly and OutspOken paper
aGttorially without the material sup
port of the race, consequently we ask
shose to whom the paper is sent, to re-
mit at once their subscriptions for not
less than six months. We must support
our own journals. It is not fullsom
with social news, we have a paper
filling that mission.

Bishop is in popular demand and is
considered one of the ablest men Of
his time. We regret that the Bishop

all of the brethren. We congratulate
Mrs. Johnson upon her successful man

sence of the editor and we cOngratu-
late the editor upon having such an
