EPISCOPAL CELEBR4IION.
Bi-Centenary of the Society for the
Propagation of the Gospel.

| The Episcopal celebration OF the 81
centenary of the Society for the Propa'
cation of the Gospel took place yester-
day at Christ church, Bridgeport. Holy
Communion was at a. m., followed by
meeting, at which members Of par
ishes founded by the S. p. G. in colonia
times were invited to tell the story Of
their early days. Each speaker was
limited, nominally, to six minutes
which were pared down gradually tc
five, four and three for the later ones
allowing only of such short extracts
from their papers as could be given in
that time. A delay in opening the
meeting, and one or two interludes not
on the programme, defeated the efforts
of the managers to carry out their ar
rangements.
Large audiences were present both in
the morning and afternoon. The his
torical service at 3 p. m. was unique
and very well planned, and Nost of the
colonial parishes took their part in it.
The exhibition of relics Of olden time
attracted many visitors. The objects
which belonged to Bishop Seabury, the
first bishop of Connecticut, his mitre,
vestments and chair which he had
used, We're the center of interest. Ser
vices take place tomorrow at Christ
church, Hartford, at 1880 p. m.
Trinity church is the only parish in
this city which ante-dates the Revou-
ton. and Mrs. Frederic r. Honey's pa
per describing Incidents connected with
it's foundation is printed in full below

The representatives of Trinity church,
| New Haven, take very modest posi-
ton on this historic occasion. We do
not even know with precision the date
of our birthday as an ecclesiastical So
ciety. But we know that we are more
than forty years younger than STRAIT
ford, the pioneer of Connecticut parish
es; we know that our first church was
built in 1852. although services had been
held in New Haven prior to this time;
and that, on these grounds we can
claim only the twenty seventh place in
order of precedence amongst the forty
two parishes of colonial foundation; but
there is no record of the exact date of
the organization Of the parish.
