been the home of the Bishops Of Lon
don for 300 years Thus commemorating
the first visit of Bishop of London to
these United States. aside altogether from
any intrinsic merits Of its own, the book
viii chronicle a highly interesting and
historic event, an event all the more IN
teresting because in bygone days no
clergyman could hold a parish, or even
Officiate in what is now the Diocese Of
Washington. without first obtaining the
permission of the Bishops Of London. Re
ferring 20 the rule of those earlier bish-
ops. in his "Salutation" sunday last, Dr.
Ingram told his hearers that the archives
or Fulham contained many proofs OF
how lovingly and faithfully his prede-
CessOrs had regarded this part Of their
Episcopal duty and had stTiven 10 do II.
a singular evidence OF tais tie bishop
might have given. and which is by no
means as commonly known as IL should
be. even among the clergy. A Bishop

The eighteenth century 20 the clergy of
this part OF the country. begged them 70
elect "a bishop and send him 10 London

fell upon ths Rev. Mr.. Colebatch. one
OF the Maryland clergy. but, mirable
dictu. the civil authority in Maryland
issued "a ne exeat and the Rev. Mr.
Colebatch was, forsooth. obliged TO re-
main az home.
II IS well 10 remember this. because
the tsrdy arrival of bishops in America
has been laid at the door OF tie English
Ep.scopate.
As a lawn tennis player, a golf player,
q preacher and a man Of affairs I'm the
best sense of the word. Bishop Ingram
excels on all these points. He gave. while
here. good evidence OF his skill and
power. II is not, however, generally
known that he IS an author of note
Many Of his books have been published
IN this country, among them The Gospel
IN Action" a Mission of the Spirit
Faith Of Church and Nation" and
Banner of the Christian Faith"
The outdoor dress OF some Of the
bishops during the recent festivities was
a perplexity to the uninitiated. The out
door dress of an American bishop has,
heretofore, differed In no particular from
the rest of the clergy. but in England
tilltl tllt iDltfllt@ OF E1NEtdnQ custom mas
prescribed that for such clergy as dea-
cons. deans of cathedrals. and bishops,
there shall he a special dress, consisting
OF shovel hat CATERS, with knee
breeches. and apron. Those who saw the
bishops Of London and ST Albans, or the
Archbishop of the West Indies on the
street would see the ordinary attire of a
dignitary of the English Church. Of
course. in England the dress attracts no
attention; naturally il IS different here.
The present Bishop Of Newfoundland had
not been ten minutes on the wharf on
which he had been landed from a New
foundland boat, when a gentleman step
ped up to him and said: Pardon me.
SIR, but would you mind telling me what
Is the sentiment of your dress" When
the Bishop Of New Westminster visited
Alberton. near Baltimore, the iHqusitive
small boy asked his rector next day
why that bishop had come to see them
in his bicycle suit
Apropos Of this, when Bishop Paret
was visiting in Lincoln, England. the
sanity Bishop of Lincoln drove to the
hotel where. as one of his clergy had
told him, the Bishop Of Maryland was
staying. Take my card to the Bishop
of Maryland ne said to the astonished
landlady. Beg pardon. my lord. but
there is no bishop here" she said. There
is only clergyman and two ladies. who
came this morning; and he's no bishop.

The table showing the amount apDor-
TONED TO the various dioceses by the
Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society
as their contribution toward its fund
has just been issued. The amounts asked
for are identical with those asked for a
year ago. This is somewhat Of a de-
parture. for the board has always gone
on the idea OF keeping on asking for
more. The mems thank Offering and
similar undertakings calling for money
are no doubt responsible for the change
this year and abundautly justify il.
The appOTuonment plan has been in use
now six years, and the figures to-day
show that the offerings made under If
are about double those Of six years ago
