NEW CASTLE. Nov. 20.-In Imman-
uel p. f. Church last evening the
twelfth annual session OF the Archdea-
conry of Wilmington convened, there
being a number OF the clergy and lay
men OF the church in attendance.
The gathering was presided over by
the Rt. Rev. Leighton Coleman. bishop
of Delaware, and the topic under dis
cussion was 1907 to 1907" which had
reference TO the progress OF the church
since its establishment IN this country
in 1907. Considerable attention was
paid to the coming jamestown Exposi-
tion, which has a special significance
to ohurchmen.
The Rev. William J. Hamilton, rector
of the Delaware City Episcopal Church.
was introduced by Bishop Coleman IN
brief address, and gave an interesting
and instructive discourse upon the sub
3ect. He referred largely to the fact
that many people and some clergymen
state that the Episcopal Church was
founded by King Henry VIII, and said
that they were either intensely ignorant
upon the subject or else were wllfully
periuring themselves He spoke Of the
immense difficulty the early settlers Of
jamestown had In worshspping God
4 and Of the many advantages we have
at the present time. and pointed out
the great strides the Episcopal Church
has made in the last three hundred
years.
In speaking Of the jamestown Expo
sition ne said he would be greatly
pleased to see the Church represented
by a large body OF people.
Upon the conclusion OF Rev. Hamil-
toms address. Bishop Coleman made a
strong address, in which he advocated
the same principles set forth by the
Rev. Hamilton. In referring to the fact
that Henry the Eighth had founded the
Episcopal Church he said that It was
perhaps true that Henry the Eighth
had found" the Church, and that he
did not doubt but that he did find" it,
but the assertion that he had founded
the Church was not true.
This reminded the bishop OF the fol-
lowing story; said Mike to Pat: Pat
where was the Episcopal Church before
Henry the Eighth founded it?' Tt
which Pat replied; "Sure. and where
WIZ your face before you washed itT
He said the facts in both cases were
the Eighth had done no more than Z
polish the Church not found It, for th'
Church was founded by no mortal, bu
is a Church OF the God.
He spoke OF the large congregation
that attended church IN the parishes II
Sussex county, of which he said Their
, were more men ohan women

, gathering would be larger to-day, tn
bishop concluded his remarks.
