Episcopal Church Notes.

The Iona Stone. which arrived in
Washington some weeks ago from the
Island Of lone is the first object that
greets the eye as you enter the little
sanctuary OF the National Cathedral OF
IS. Peter and Paul The stone is OF
dull gray and bears as inscription the
dying words of St COLOMBIA, the great
Celtic missionary of the fourth century,
They who fear the Lord shall want no
manner of thing that Is good"
The cathedral authorities are getting
out guide book of the cathedral foun-
dalton which fully describes the incep-
ton OF the National Cathedral Idea,
objects In the close and the plans and
prospects for the future. 1t will be
found very useful in visiting the Cathe-
draI.
A movement has been started to per-
suade Bishop Satterlee to take a much
needed rest from his episcopal duties III
health combined with the several Attic
tions the New Year brought to him have
made serious inroads on the bishops
strength and vitality. The confirmation
season IL always an arduous and trying
one even when in the best of health. The
bishop, however. is determined not TO
forsake his post. even with such a wor-
thy reason until the annual visitations
are past.
The parishes in the Ma. yland division
of the Washington diocese are in need
of clergy. They cover a good distance
and the work is hard but still satisfying
and the bishop has asked for a number
of young priests willing TO work and not
afraid OF country life TO come to the res
cue. It is a peculiar fact, but at the
present time there are but two postu
Iants for the ministry from the diocese
Marshall Bowyer Stewart. a middle
year mzn at the General Theological
Seminary, New York city. and Edgar
Martin Rogers, of Berkeley Divinity
School, Middletown, Conn. This arises
from the fact that the students who are
preparing for the ministry from Wash
ington intend taking charges in their
home dioeeses in various parts Of the
country.
