Of spiritual strength AMI organized
efficiency to the church in this do
cese.
The Bisop concluded his address by
insisting upon the necessity Of maxi
ing each diocese a complete and well
compacted unit if we are going to
retain our independence and give
proper aid to the enterprises, which
concern the larger life of the church.
The traditions of Virginia all work
together for this condition, and we
surely realize that our strength is
to stand together, and submit our
selves to any restriction of personal
interest which may be involved in so
doing.

follows: Postulants received, 10. OF
which 2 are colored; Candidates for
Orders, 2; Deacons ordained a;

combinations by both bishops during
the past year amount in all to 1886,

There are 43 licensed lay readers
in the diocese, which testify to the
