DEAN INSTALLED.
James r. de Beever Kaye Placed
in Charge of Grace Cathedral.

AT the morning service at Grace
cathedral Sunday the Very Rev. James
Philip de Beever Kaye was installed
as dean of the cathedral.
The event is one of more than ordi-
nary interest to the communicates of
the church, and the cathedral was
packed to the doors. Bishop Frank r.
Millspaugh was here and acted as in
stitutor. The service of installation is
one of the most beautiful and impress
sive in the ritual of the Episcopal
church. And the ceremony yesterday
was not lacking in solemnity.
To the music of a professional hymn
the choir led the way through the
cathedral to the chancel, followed by
the vestrymen and wardens of the
church. Next came the clergy in at
tendance and the dean to be installed,
while Bishop Millspaugh was the last
in the procession. The procession filled
the entire distance of the central aisle
from the chancel to the door.
The vestrymen and wardens of the
church stopped at the foot of the steps
to the chancel. Bishop Millspaugh,
Dean Kaye and the other clergymen
took places behind the chancel ran in
the order of their ordination.
The morning prayer service was by
Canon Bywater, Rev. Mr.. Wayne, chap
lain of Christ hospital, and Rev. Mr.
Todd. chaplain of the College of the
instituted by the bishop by letter
Bishop Millspaugh in his letter said:
1--WE do by these presents give and
grant unto you, in whose learning, dill
gence, sound doctrine and prudence we
do fully confide, our license and author
ity to perform the office of priest IN
Grace cathedral, Topeka; and do also
hereby install you as dean OF SAID
perform every act of sacerdotal fune-
ton among the people of the same; you
continuing in communion with US ana
complying with the rubrics and canons
of the church and with such lawful di-
rections as you shall at any time re-
ceive from US.
And as economically instituted
priest into the office of dean of Grace
cathedral, you are faithfully to feed
that portion of the flock of Christ Whlcn
is now intrusted to you; not as a man
pleaser. but as continually bearing IN
mind that you are accountable to US
here and to the chief bishop and Sow
ereign Judge of all hereafter.
And as the Lord hath ordained that
they who serve at the altar should live
of the things belonging to the altar, so
all the accustomed temporalities ap-
pertaining to your cure, until some
urgent reason or reasons occasion
wish in you, or in the congregation
about a separation and dissolution or
all sacerdotal relation between you and
them, of all which you will give US due
notice; and in case of any difference be-
tween you and your congregation, as to
a separation and dissolution of all
sacerdotal connection between you and
them, we, your bishop, with the advice
of our presbyt yters, and especially of the
clerical members of our standing COM
mittee, are to be the ultimate arbiter
and judge
"As dean of Grace cathedral we con-
fer upon you all the rights and powers
of rector save the right of the bishop
to his chair at other than appointed
visitations; the right to control the
ritual; the right when present to cele-
brate the Holy Communion, and the
right at any time to use the cathedral
for ordinati tions and other diocesan pur-
poses."
The keys of the church were present
ed to the new dean by the senior war
den. After acknowledging the gift of
the keys the dean offered prayer.
Immediately after the office of insti-
tuition the dean preached the morning
sermon. In a modest way he urged the
help of the congregation towards build
ing up spiritually all to whom the
cathedral might minister.
Dean Kaye created a favorable i'm
preston. He comes here from IRON
wood, Mich, where he has earned a well
deserved reputation for being an ex-
ceilent church worker and harmonizer-
Six years ago when Dean Kaye went
to Ironwood ne found a congregation
of thirty communicates, with no church
property. Through his earnest efforts
he succeeded in building up the church
so that he left Ironwood with congre-
cation of over three hundred cOmmun-
cants and a beautiful stone church,
erected mainly as a result of his efforts
in that direction.
Dean Hayes action yesterday in set
ting aside the collection at the regular
moraing service to straighten up the
old accounts of the last fiscal year of
the church may be taken as a fore
runner of his intention in building up
the church here.
.HFhe plans for the erection of a new
cathedral here will probably take a
more tangible shape now said one of
the members of the parish today.
