MET FRIENDS FROM NAUCH CHUNK

Bishop Coleman, who is travelling
throughout Europe sends an Interesting
letter from Venice to the current issue
OF the Delaware Churchman. It is dated
the FIRST Sunday I'm Advent (Novembcr
2O and reads as follows:
Before the close of this, the church's
New Years day, I want TO be In closer
touch with you all by at least writing
a short letter. to assure you how earn
estly have been thinking Of and pray
ing for the clergy and people Of Della
ware. at the beginning Of this solemn
and yet gladsome Advent-time; solemn,
as reminding us of Christ's second
coming; gladstone. as reminding us OF
His love and majesty. So Let me wish
for you one and all; from the bottom
of my heart, a really happy New Year.
You will not wonder / am suGe. II
my second word should be that Of pro-
found grief at the death Of the senior
warden OF ST. Johns. Wilmington,
Francis Gunny DUPONT. / need not
heed the family ties that might. in the
opinion Of some. refrain me from ex-
pressing the high and loving admira-
tion which have always sustained for
him. and which ann certain is shared
by al who had the privilege Of know
ing him.
Tribute to the Late Francis D. DUPONT.

The ideal of n Christian and a church.
man that he inherited from his sanity
parents seemed 20 be continually be-
fore him. and by Gods grace. he was
enabled to lead the exemplary life
whose many and varied benefaotions
viii never be fully known upon earth.
These went largely to form his beauti-
ful character. a character that l am
persuaded will remain for many years
among us as am inspiration 10 such a
noble conservation Of ourselves to the
Lord whom he so reverently Worship
ped as will, l think. in some degree
make up TO the church a loss which
otherwise must be accounted as irrep-
arabic.
/ am delighted to hear such cheering
accounts OF the recent annual meeting
Of the Woman's Auxiliary which was
very much on my heart at the time.
Again let me express my very CRATE
full appreciation OF all that has been
done to make our diocesan branch Of
this congregation one Of the best in the
country; and, further, beg of all that
