| Speaking Of organists, II will be sad
tidings to many that Mr.. Arthur Lorraine
Holloway, organist and choirmaster OF
st. David's Church. Roland Park, Bslti-
more, has been called away by death.
having died at his home in Baltimore on
October 80 Of heart trouble, aged forty
I'VE years. Mr.. Holloway was a native
of st. Ives, England. where his father
was also an organist. He also has three
brothers who are organists. He became
member OF the choir of the Cathedral
of ST. Paurs, England, at the age Of
eight, when Sir John Stainer was the
gifted choirmaste At the age OF
twenty-five he took charge of the choir
OF st. John the Evangelist. Boston.
While there he accepted q call from DR..
c. Ernest Smith, of this city, then rector
Of st. Michael and All Angels, Baltimore,
to become the organist and choirmaster
Of the Church OF St Michael and All
Angels, where he remained until q short
while after DR.. Ernest Smiths resigna-
ton. A certain brusqueness OF manner
alone kept him probably from being the
organist Of any church in this country
which might have been looking for an
organist and choirmaster. As II was.
he turned down calls from many prom
inent churches, one Of them being ST
Paul's, Baltimore, which, with Its choir
school, offered very considerable ad-
Mr. Holloway had found his niche at St
David's, Roland Park. and he was there
to stay until his work was done.

St Phillips Parish, Laurel, Prince
George County, Nd, is without rec
tor by the resignation of the Rev. Thorn
as A. Johnstone, who for over twenty /
years has been rector of that parish. Mr.. /
Johnstone's ministry came to an end with
his services on Sunday. November 2. He
will be greatly missed, for many Of the
people there have never known any other
rector. He was for a time curate at
Epiphany Church, from which he went to
Laurel shortly after his ordination to the
priesthood. There are not many men
who are able to administer the affairs
of small country parish for over twenty
years. The Rev. c. H Spurgeon, of Lon
don, is on record as saying that he
thanked God that he had called him to a
large church, for he knew very well he
had not the sense to administer a small
one. There is more in this than we may
think, and from this point of view Mr..
Johnstone is to be congratulated. Those
who know Mr.. Johnstone well believe that
had he entered Journalism he would
have made a success. His speeches and
addresses on non-church subjects-some-
times on church subjects-are generally
scintfllating with wit and humor.
Another parish in the diocese to be va
cant presently is that of William and
Mary, St Marys County, the Oldest par
ish in the three dioceses of Washington,
Maryland, and Easton. 1t is in q GER
tain sense the mother Of all the rest.
The present rector, the Rev. H. B. I
Saunders, vacates the rectorship on De-
cember for the rectorship of Zion Par
ish, which is composed Of st. Johns, of
Beltsville: St Andrews, of College Park,
and st. Marks. of Montgomery County,
Of which the Rev. c. L La Toche was
rector for some years until his recent
It is said that the address of Bishop
Lloyd, President Of the Domestic and
Foreign Missionary Society of the
Church, which he delivered at the con-
yention on What Should Be Done ToI
Further the ChVrch's Mission During the
Next Three Years." created such a pro-
found impression that the House OF
Bishops ordered It printed and a COPY
sent to every clergyman of the church.
A copy of this address has been received
oy the Washington clergy this week.
