Bishop TuttIe's Address.
81 am here to bring a word of
greeting to you from the entire church
of America. As a diocese you are As
years old You have had three faith
full and Cody bishops. One was with
you 25 years, another for eight years.
Now the third counts his 10 years
among you When he came you had
33 clergymen and 3,510 communi-
cants. Now you have SO clergymen
and 4,645 Communicates besides hav-
ing set up Salina in a successful house
keeping of her own. The strength OF
the house has not been altogether
wanting in your growth and increase.
of the great Domestic-Foreign Mis-
SiOnary society of the church. It may
not be uniting for me to commend you
for your Missionary work in standing by
that society. Last year Kansas was
asked to give $1,000 for help. You
gave $1,007.99. That is most whole
some example. I heartily wish Mis-
souri, could have stood by your side.
I may be permitted to thank you
warmly. Out of your 90 parishes
cannot find but 10 which failed to
give. Kansas deserves to be COM
mended and thanked right cordially.
IN wealth of farms, in greatness OF
crops, in enterprise and character, in
standard of intelligence and in energy
of action, Kansas is surpassed by no
state. What a comfort to know that
with these material betterments well
typified by the houses strength, there
are found also the fidelity. unselfshness
and generosity of Christian faith and
hope and love.
Word for Bishop Bfi1lspaugh.
Ten years ago in September next
five bishops of US stood in yonder chan
eel to lay on hands to make your pres
ent bishop. Three of the five are here
today to offer congratulations on his
decade of faithful discharge of duty.
Two are not. For the wonderful old
bishop of Minnesota and the enduring
bishop of Colorado, the peacefully fold
ed hands of rest have taken the place
of the weapon holding hands of militant
activity. We who remain are three Of
IS bishops on that former day. We are
now three of 90, and 80 of our number
have died since the morning when we
stood prayerfully bending over the
bishop-elect near ten years ago.
Not yet have we been summoned
and we seem to cry aloud to each other
'Watchman! Watchman, what Of the
night2' And the answer seems to come,
Work work, while it is day for the
night cometh in which no man can
work
MY brother you have worked steadily
and faithfully in this diocese No one
will gainsay that. And beyond the dio-
cese, too, you have worked unselhshly
and heIpfully. I myself can vouch for
that We pray for Gods smile and
blessing on you for it. DO not get dis
couraged- OF course there are frietions
and defects and out-of-j -jointedness. But
Gods on his throne and in a Christian
sense all right with the world.
And energy in reforming the world Is
not really of equal value with power
to deal wisely and well with 1t as 1t IS.
Then go on. In faith and hope and love
and prayer, go on. Stand steady. Be
CHEEKY In faith strike hard. In love
