service in Trinity Church that is TO be
held at o'clock this afternoon.
He was introduced TO the children by
Mr.. Wooley, the principal Of the school.
The pupils appeared to be very much in
terested in the address made to them by
the bishop. He spoke to them about
twenty minutes.
The next meeting was at the Crescent
pottery in Allen street, which was held
at 1890 The idea was to talk to the men,
/ but the girls who are engaged at the pot
terry were seen in the doorways, evidently
desiring to hear the talk, so the bishop in.
vted them to come in and make part of
his audience. which they did.
The boys of the choir were with the
bishop and the Rev. Mr.. Schuyler again
and the workmen and women, who were
supplied with the words of the hymns
Joined with the boys in the singing.
just about the time that the bishop be-
gan his remarks a crash of breaking
/ crockeryware was heard and he made 4
hit with his audience by remarking thai
he understood pottery had gone down.
This little incident gave the read,
speaker point to make. He said tina
! he understood that the work in potterie
, was attended with certain per cent. o
waste. Some was by breakage and some
by coming from the kilns imperfectly. HI
told his auditors that there was also
great deal Of waste in the lives of peOpl
and asked them what was the per cent
of waste in their lives.
He said that no matter how humble tn
life of a person might be. il was Away
possible to do good. He told the story o
the wretched widow Of Glasgow, whG
r one day while he was in that city, wa
p observed by a policeman to pick up some
e thing from the street and put il away M
y der the rag that she wore for shawl.
a The officer approached her and aske
her what she had picked up when sh
nut her hand under the ragged shaw
s again and drew forth a few bits Of glas
o that she had picked from the street.
o The officer asked her what motive 81
, had in picking mp these bits and she r.
lplied that it was for the purpose of sa'
ing some lad from cutting his bare fee
Thus the speaker showed that even tn
;, wretched woman was able TO do son
= good.
