THE RoUrr COUNTY TouR.

The tour Of Routt county recently
made by Bishop knight and the Rev.
Mr.. Dennis, In the interest Of the
Episcopal church, resulted In very
decided strengthening of the church's
position in that part Of the state.
Service was held tfor the first time.
as far as could be learned) ct Mccoy,
and the interest manifested was so
pronounced that the bishop will ar
range for regular work 1t that point
At Yampa and at Hayden revival
services were in progress, but the
gentlemen In charge Of the meetings
at both places most courtsously gave
up an evening to the visiting clergy,
and large congregations greeted the
bishop.
The visit to Steamboat Springs
happened to fall upon Sunday. The
services, Of which there were three,
were held at the Methodist church
through the kindness Of the minister
In charge, and rs the Congregational
church was closed for repairs, the
congregations were unusually large.
A guild, consisting of both mon aud
women, and known ~ the ct. Paul
Guild, was organised, and s'lay
reader appointed by the bishop. Reg
ular services will be held hereafter ct
Steamboat, and the outlook for the
future is most encouraging.
In the school houses at Hamilton
and Axial most interesting and help
full services were held, and the at
tendance WAS good.
At various points along the route
baptism vas administered, and prep
arations made for confirmation 1t
some future visitation. Plans are on
foot for the opening Of work at May
bell In the very near future.
( At nearly every point along the
line Bishop Knight visited the
schools and addressed the scholars,
and showed himself thoroughly in
terested In the educational work In
his new field.
Altogether 1t is felt that the church
has secured a strong and popular
leader in the present bishop, and
there is every reason to expect
marked progress in the church's work
under his vigorous administration.

A sinner sat with saints around
The rector's festive table,;
The scene . pleasing tableau made,
Presenting Truths and Fable.
The saints were met to welcome here
One errant KNIGHT crusader;
But in their ranks was one who held
The creed Of Add e. Kadir.
A surly browed but bashful man, ~
A wicked son Of Hector,
Had Joined the genial crowd to greet
The bishop and the rector. s'
On either side, with guests between,
Sat sinful man and pastor; ~
Twtxl scorching flres mems souls sre
cleansed,"
Was said by zoroaster.
The rector wore the Gross Of gold,
The sinner wore the Crescent;
And Wit and Beauty lit the hall,
And dimmed the incandescent.
And as the sinner emptied fast
His plate and cup and maple,
To each the silent thought occurred,
zone heather soul made happy
Among the saints he tried to be
A saint himself, and civil:
He dropped his fork, he looked benign,
But they all knew the devil.
And 30 the cheerful time was passed
AT the rectOr's sumptuous dinner,
when the church's noted bishop dined
with Neeker's noted sinner.
