New Castle, July Sat Emmanuel
p. f.. Church, yesterday morning,
in the absence of the rector, the Rev.

the services at Rehoboth.
The bishop, previous to the service.
blessed two altar vessels, a paten and
chaliee, which were presented to the
church by Miss Virginia O. Long of
Virginia, former resident of this
city, and psrishioner of ths church.

composed OF solid silver, heavily lined
with gold and studded with diamonds.
The jewels were formerly worn by
members of the Long family and the
metal was obtained from the family |
plate. The presentation was in memory |
of the family.
Bishop Coleman commended the idea |
of memorial gifts for the worship of |
God in sanctuary. He classed as |
beathenish the monuments, or many of |
those in the church yards, upon which |
enormous amounts of money had been |
expended, and held that the money |
could be better used in such memorials |
as those which he had blessed, or for
the endowment of parishes and dioceses
He stated that by means of such me-
MORALS the pious dead would be in
manner speaking in the service and for |
the glory of God, and in useful ministra-
tioEs. ct the communion service which |
followed the sermon, the paten and |
chalice were used.
