THE BISHOPS ADDRESS.
After some sentences from Scripture
the Bishop made a short address He
said in part: My dear friends, at this
TIME yesterday we had not thought of
this service but it seemed appropriate
that the first stone of this addition
should be laid with a religious service.
Forty years is a long time and yet as
l look around me / see the faces of
many who We're here when Kameha-
meha V. laid the cornerstone. What
must come to these, of hopes
ana Tears, encouragements and disap-
pointments, of new faces and of many
who have departed this life and who
are now in the Rest of Paradise.
Great changes have occurred since
then, but the Church of God is the same
In every age, 1t is true. there is a new
oresentment of the faith, bringing of
ruth in its apprehension into harmony
With present knowledge, but the faith
$ the same. The Creed called the
Apostles, upon which all Christians
we're united once, and upon which only
hey can be united again, this was and 1
5 and will be the same.
This stone which l have put in place
vas prepared for the old building. it is I
low used in the new part. Thus it is
hsa new is a part OF. grows out OF the
Id. The new is not true unless the I
lew is rooted in the past, gathering up
nto itself life and material for new
for new flowers and fruit
ge. 1t Is this truth for which this |
hurch stands. Catholic to every truth {
f God, Protestant to every error of q
nan. May it become more and more q
or all who call themselves Christians, |
home for worship and for work. May
he living souls of this church attract l
y their lives and works those who seek /
he Lord. |
AS look into the future, / hope and t
xpect to see other buildings arise on e
nese grounds which shall be in harm !
ny with this structure. Such as l have t
! mind are Parish House which must I
o center of Christian activities, and h
yer there, a new st. Andrews Priory O
