Old ST. ANNE'S
ANNIVERSARY.
Large Attendance at The OBJ
servance on Sunday
HISTORICAL PAPER READ

The services at tie 20Oth anniversary of
old st. Anne's Church Sunday were con-
Quoted according to the program out
lined in THE TRANSCRIPT on Saturday.
At the morning service the lessons were
read by the Rev. Henry Chamberlaine, of
New York and prayer was offered by the
Rev. Mr.. Munson, of New Castle. Bishop
Coleman preached the sermon, and the
singing by the choir was much enjoyed.
The Bishops Sermon
The Bishop took his text from the
l25th Psalm, second verse, GAS the
mountains are round about Jerusalem SO
the Lord is round about His people from
| henceforth even forever"
He referred to the significance of the
event, and to the fact that his father was
at one time rector of the historical
church. The necessity of a wholesome
conservatism that will maintain the old
truth without being adulterated with the
modern notions of mans own conceits
was dwelt upon at some length. The
Bishop spoke about the unchangeableness
Of God, OF the truth emanating from Him
and of the church which is the witness
and messenger of the truth. This dis
course was an able one.
Historical Paper
At the afternoon service the rector, the
Rev. w. ]. Wilkie gave the following in
teresting historical address
The observances of this day might be
considered incomplete were no attempt
made to present, at least in outline, the
story of our parish which has now closed
its second century. AS in the case OF
many other parishes near the Atlantic
seaboard, it owes its beginning to the
Venerable Society for the Propagation OF
the Gospel in Foreign Parts. The great
missionary organization. now one Of the
largest and most effective in the world,
was then in its infancy. DR.. Thomas
Bray, a name to be had in honor of all |
American Chnrchmen, had long shown a |
most active interest in the welfare of the |
colonists Realizing that the American |
clergy could not do their work effectively
without the aid Of good books, he had
toiled to meet that need, and obtained in
1897 charter from King William for the
now well-known Society for the Promo
ton of Christian knowledge. On the
twentieth OF December, 1899, DIR. Bray
sailed for America as Commissary OF the
bishop of London. His stay in this coun
try was brief, but he took back with him
to England a keener sense of the great
missionary opportunity which this new
land afforded and determination to

a due respect to them in person of their
missionary. The congregation here as
well as at st. Georges Chapel seem num-
erous. Some dissenters come to church
on Sundays and behave decently and
reverently during the time of Divine Ser
vice. Our own professed members are

to and attention upon the sacred ordi-
nances while all around is in confusion"

recently built at Duck Creek twelve miles
distant" In a letter written in the fol-
lowing year he speaks of officiating 'sev-
eral Sundays in the aforesaid church at

Office in Philadelphia.
On the land thus secured by grant
there was erected in the following year,
1905, the first st. Anne's Church, Appo-
quinimink, doubtless small and simple
wooden building, but destined to serve
for more than sixty years as the spiritual
house of Church of England folk from
many miles around. When the vesti-
bule on the south side of this present
church was built about the middle of the
Nineteenth Century, it is said that the
workmen came unexpectedly upon the
foundations of the first structure, and
that they used these in part as the basis
of that addition to this edifice.
After the erection of that first church
three years went by before the parish
had settled pastor. Occasional services
were doubtless held, when possible, by
clergymen from New Castle or Maryland.
At length the desire of the people was
gratifed by the favor of the S. P. G. in
sendiug to them the Rev. Thomas Jen-
kins, young priest recently ordained
in the Welch diocese of St. David's.
After voyage of eleven weeks he landed
at Portsmouth, Virginia, on May 26th,
17O8. At an early opportunity he came
northward to Bohemia Landing, Mary
land, where lie CHANGED to meet Col.
Evans, the Governor of Pennsylvania, who
seems to have given the young missionary
a rather discouraging account of his pros
pective field of labor. After some delay,
which included a visit to New Castle, the
Rev. Mr.. Jenkins came to Appoquini-
mink, and waited" he writes, upon
one Capt. Cantwell, the only person of
any note or reputation in the place."

BENNINGTON MONUMENT.
Rear Admiral Goodrich's Circular In
Regard to It's Erection.

Rear Admiral Goodrich, commanding the
Pacific station, has issued the following cir
cuar in regard to the erection of a mon
ument to the memory of the dead of the
gunboat Bennington:
'It Is proposed that the officers and men
OF the Pacific squadron erect, at the Mill
tary Cemetery on Point Iona, where the
majority of the Benningtons dead lie at
rest, suitable and dignified monument to
the memory Of those gallant seamen who
recently lost their lives while in the serv-
ice of their country through the boiler ex-
ploson on board that vessel.
Nothing seems more appropriate to this
end than plain granite shaft, as lofty as
can be secured, mounted for all time on a
commanding site. In view Of the shipping

outlet on the Pacific, and he was largely
responsible for putting the project through.
He practically built the southern line from
Hardin to Port Arthur, and organized IN
1898 me Russo-Chinese Bank, which
financed the project. He realized the ne
cessity of a warm-water port for Russia II
she was to take her place among the great
nations of the world and the equal neces-
sity of foreign trade In building up the
country.
In fact, Witte sets more store by foreign
tra-e than the majority of his compatriots
At the same time he has always been an
earnest advocate of peace as necessary to
Russian growth, and it is believed that he
will strain every nerve to bring about peace
with a reasonable degree of honor to Rus
STA in the present negotiations, because ne
considers peace essential for the country.
At the same time he cannot be counted as
a peace at any price man. He knows
that there are things more desirable for
Russia than peace in the far east at the
present moment. and some things good
deal worse than the continuance Of the
present war But If peace can be had on
any reasonable terms he will get it.
AS minister of finance, Witte put Russia
on a gold basis to foster her foreign trade
and make her a peer of the other great
gold standard countries in the markets of
the world. But he was also responsible
for the imposition of the retaliatory duties
that killed American trade in Russia after
the imposition of discriminating duties
against Russian sugar, which this country
held to be bounty fed.
1t is said that NJ. White Is coming to
Washington after the conclusion or the
dissolution of the peace conference to try
to arrange a new commercial treaty be-
tween the United States and Russia. Ger
tainly the ex-inance minister is the one
who has all the threads In his hands for
such a negotiation. Whether anything Will
come of his visit Is another question.
Anything like a successful outcome of the
Portsmouth negotiations will make White
more even than he was before, the strong
est and most striking personality In Russia.
There will be a TRADE of abuse for him
from the war party for anything In the ma
ture of concessions to the Japanese There
will be even greater abuse for him should
the Portsmouth conference prove abortive.
But should peace be declared 1t is con-
sidered almost certain that ne will return to
Russia with the chanceIlorship Of the en-
pire within his reach If he wants 1t. The
general impression Is that he does It or at
least that he will take it If It Is offered.
and. II he does, Russia may be expected to
enter q new era in the development Of her
vast internal resources and her reaching
out for foreign trade.
Such, briefly, is the man that Russia has
