EPISCOPAL CHURCH NEWS.

Opportunity will be afforded at the
forthcoming convention to hear the Right
Rev John du Moulin. Bishop Of Niagara.
He is Canada's foremost orator Many
years ago three young IFishmen sailed
from old Ireland for Canada; each of
rthem entered the ministry Of the Episco-
pal Church. and each became a bishop.
Every one OF them was an orator. Bishop
Sullivan, who became bishop of Canadas
Missionary Diocese has gone TO his rest
these ten years past. but Bishops du
Moulin and Carmichael, the latter now
Bishop of Montreal remain. The great
est OF the trio was du Moulin He has
a son in the ministry lately called from

dean of Trinity Cathedral. Cleveland.
Speaking of cathedrals. we have struck
in our day quite passion for cathedral
building In Washington. as the Capital
of the nation and the place where con-
ventions chiefly gather. there is a pecu-
liar fitness in having a cathedral, for a
cathedral affords opportunity for those
stately and dignifed services which are
not possible within the walls of an or
binary parish church. Then. too, cathe-
draI is the bishops church, the pattern
church OF the diocese. not necessarily
the church which others must copy, but
which, exemplifying more than others the
form or type of the Episcopal service, is
excellent as model.
1t is a curious feature. however. Of
our Episcopal Church life in America that
as = rule il is the weaker diOceses which
have cathedrals and the stronger which
have none New York. by far the strong
est OF all the dioceses. has no cathedral
as yet, though IL is building one. PhiIa-
delphia has none, nor apparently has
thought Of getting one.
Rhode Island has none, Maryland and
Virginia have none. On the other hand,
the little Diocese of Easton has one, so
have Dallas and Idaho. But the time will
undoubtedly come when each diocese Of
the Episcopal Church in America viii
possess its own cathedral and its cathe-
dral organization after the manner Of the
Episcopal Church ia the older parts OF
the world.
A leader among the brethren both in
brotherhood and in general convention. in
one respect chief OF all, is Right Rev.
Daniel s. Tuttle. d. D., presiding bishop
OF the American Church. For many years
the bishop was in charge of Utah, and
his book Of experiences while among the
Mo3mons is decidedly interesting. His
account Of his call on Brigham Young
was particularly fine. The Mormon re-
ceived him kindly, but the Christian
bishop did not receive any very urgent in
vitation TO call again or drop in when he
had a leisure moment.
The Brotherhood men desire il to be
widely known that the quiet hour to be
conducted on Wednesday evening by
Bishop Brent. of the Philippines. will be
spent at Trinity Church, corner Third and
c streets-the same being the first service
Of the convention.
The Bishop OF Maryland. who. as DIT.
Paret, rector Of the Epiphany Church,
on G street near Fourteenth. was well
known to many Of our most prominent
citizens. has Just arrived at Baltimore
from s trip 10 Europe, Full Of energy,
though over eighty years Of age, and an
example in that respect worthy Of all
commentator to our younger brethren, he
has already published his list of appoint
ments for September, and will no doubt
be hard at work before the general con-
vention meets.
The Bible which King Edward has given
TO Old Sruton Church. Virginia, is now
in Canada. having arrived there in the
keeping Of Bishop Winnington-Ingram.
