 The worshippers at St. PauIs Epis- |copaI Church tomorrow for the first time will have the opportunity of see ing the Love Memorial Tablet that 10 being erected to the memory of the late Rt. Rev. Robert Woodward Barn we'll The tablet was placed in posi- tioa on the left of the pulpit today and ts . tribute of love to the memory of that good man who for % many years was the rector of the church and |a few short months the bishop of this The Levs Memorial Tablet to Bishop BArnwsll is the result of the untfring energy and perseverance of Mrs. E. A. vassar. About . year ago Mrs. Vassar made the fact known that 1t was her intention to place such tribute to the memory of Bishop Barnwell in tine church. To this end she started a sub- scription list and would receive sub scriptions only from those who per eonaliy knew and loved the late bish- op. The elegant tablet that is now being placed in position in the church is the result of her labors in that direction.
 While Mrs. vassar is modest and does not claim any of the honor that should be due her in the erection of this tablet, yet undoubtedly only on account of her energy was the tablet erected. Many who knew and loved the late bishop were only too glad to contribute to the fund. but with the putting down of their names on the list for certain amount the mat Iter ended with them. Perseverance on the part of Mrs. Vassar collected these subscriptions and caused more l to be added to the list. until the re- quired amount had been collected. The tablet is placed on the wall to the left of the pulpit and is of beau- tiful design and an eiegant piece of workmanship. It is three feet tall | and about twenty-eight inches wide. The position in which 1t Is placed Is conspicuous and this tribute of love can be easily seen from any part or the beautiful church. The tablet will be greatly admired by the consrega- | tion and will ever keep before them the memory of this good man, whose death was greatly lamented. The tablet Ia of pure Carraca marble, with Gothic design and a raised tn- scription. The top of the tablet s |ornamented with polished ivey leaves. beneath which are the bishop seals In Gothic tracery. In the top circle there are the cross keys. in the left circle is the bishop mitre and on the right the crook or staff. The raised inscrip- tion on the tablet and which ts to the memory of Bishop Barnwell Is as fol- lows:
