BISHOP RESPONDS.
In response to an announcement
from the Rev. Hall, Bishop Coleman
said that while he had had a long ac-
.quaintance with the dictionary he had
never discovered "one" word which
would convey his gratitude to those
who had bestowed greetings and that
he would have to tax his hearers pa
thence with more than that number
Bishop Coleman asked the question
relative TO what had made his people
$50 mindful Of his welfare and declared
that II there had been anything in his
life which resulted in their love. con-
hdence and loyalty IL was simply by
the grace of God. He humbly accepted
the beautiful tokens in His name.
He spoke Of his recognition of the
responsibility attached to his office,
and he asked his people to continue
their prayer TO God for his success and
for them TO cooperate with him in the
future as they had i'm the past.
when a man by the grace of God
has lived to be missed, he has learned
the meaning of JOY" In conclusion he
said that he could only assure each and
all present and those who had sent
messages that while he might be def
.cient In many things he was not lack
ing in gratitude.
When the service closed and the
Bishop took up his station at the en-
trance to the Sunday school room and
every one shook his hand and it was in
this part of the service that he heard
some of the warmest expressions of
joy and gratitude that he had returned.

dition TO those who took part in the
service were the Rev. X. j. Hammond,

'cese and members of the different
churches well represented. but there
were present many who belong to other
but who are glad to
count the Bishop as their friend. None
.of the greetings bestowed upon him
had more of the true ring Of sincerity
of feeling than those Of other denomi-
nations
