Heetlnr of KpUenprU Clergy In Relation
to lb Death ! . 11. J. Pisrvln.
Tble afternoon, at 1 o'clock, a meeting of
Kplkcopal clemyroen of this city and vicinity
was held at the Church of the Kplpbany, Fif
teenth and Cbesnnt streets. Tbe attendance
was numerous, aDd the solemnity of the call
wnlota had brought the assemblage together
Inspired all with feelings of devout interest.
Bhortly after the hour appointed fnr ihe
opening of the meeting, lilchop Vail, of Kansas
was elected Chairman and ltwY, Mr, Uhllds
jrurelary, . .
At the conclusion of some devour: exer
cises the Beoreiary read the following letter:
Bithlriiim, Leo. 12, 1S03 Dear lirothrso:
Though unable by reason of my Invalid condi
tion to be with yon on Monday in person, I
shall be with you In spirit. I beg through tula
letter to Join my sympathy with yours la this
our common bereavement.
I need not before you attempt to eulotrlze Mr.
Parvln, for he has loon lived in your midst, and
you knew ami appreciated his worth, He was
a Rood man, full of fait h and of the Holy OhosU
He was a faithful minister of Christ. He was a
good BOldier ot the Cross, and one of the fore
west standard-bearers of Evangelical truth.
Uniting iu a rare manner pulpit, pastoral,
and executive abilities of a high order, be had
for several years past occupied aoommandlng
and responsible position to the satisfaction of
niseonslltuentsand to the upbuilding of the
Church of God. He leaves a gap in onr church
-work which It will be extremely difficult to fill.
Of tbe fearful circumstances of his death I care
not trustmyelf to apeak. Ood'a "judgments
ere a great deep," "Ills ways are far above out
of sight."
It pleased Him whose faithful servant he
was, to translate him almost as by a chariot of
lire, and he Is not, because UoJ took him. We
bow In submission, saying, as we strike npau
our breasts, "Kven so, Father, for so It seemed
tood in Thy slfiht."
Pear brethren, we cannot raonrn for onr be
loved brother as those who have no hope, for
we bave every confidence that his ransomed
soul rests In the paradUe of God.
Hut that dreadful midnight scene sends its
warning voice to us, "lie ye also ready, f r In
anch an hour as ye think not the Son of Man
oometh." Let It lead us to deep searching of
heart, to see that we have built upon the Rock,
and that we cling for salvation solely to tbe
atoning sacrifice and perfect righteousness of
onr divine substilule and Havlor.
I,et It caue ns to ask ourselves, Are we so
doing onr Master's work, so seeking to build np
the Redeemer's kingdom, by the simple, pure,
faithful exhibition of Christ, and Christ alone,
as tbe Saviour ot the lost, that when we snail
be called hence to be no more, we may find that
oar work shall abide, and not be the hay, wood,
and stubble of a toilsomely fruitless ministry?
In this Advent season, when the voice of the
Church Is "The Lord is at hand," let ns each one
as in the sight of God trim our lamps, bind np
our loins, watch unto prayer, so that when
death Bball whisper to ns, "Behold, tbe bride
groom cometb; go ye out to meet him." you
may be ready to obey the summons which will
call you to be, as it has called our beloved bro
ther, to be absent from the body, present with
the Lord.
My heart's deepest sympathies go out with
you towards his bereaved wife and children,
nnd I join most sincerely with you lu com
mending them in earnest praver to the God of
the wluow and of the fatherless, who is alsj the
God of all comfort and consolation.
I remain, dear brethren, iu the bond of a com
mon and heart-rending sorrow, very truly.
Your friend and Bishop,
Wiuiam Bacon Stevens.
On the conclusion of tbe reading of Bishop
Rievens' letter, communications from a num
ber of,otlier clergymen were also presented,
expressing regrets on the part of the writers at
their inability to be present, and bearing testi
mony to the great worth and Christian slngle
ntartedness of the deceased. Among others.
Bishop Lee of Delaware, through one of the
ministers preen, sent word that he surely
would have atunded had It been within his
power.
.Reference was then made by some of the
speakers to the Rev. Mr, Rising who likewise
was a victim of the same terrible disaster by
which Mr. Parvin lost his life. It was stated
that, although tbe meetlrg had convened with
more especial reference to the death of Mr.
l'aryln , still, at suoa a time, and meeting under
so much sadness, It was not meet to draw
diocesan lines, while It appeared but proper to
make the resolutions broad enough to cover
the case of Mr. Rising, and the spirit of the
meeting charitable enough to Include bim in
their sympathies and eulogies. This sentiment
finally seemed to prevail.
The meeting then went into a general discus
sion of tbe merits of the deceased, remem
brances of their lives, the good they had accom
plished and were accomplishing la the world
and the Church, and the great loss whioh all
iiad sustained in their death. As the deceased
bad been personal friends of many of those
present, nearly every one had something to
relate In connection with them or their labors.
Tbe meeting Is atlll In progress as we go to
press.
Ths LC'niu'ABD Steamship Lisb between this
rttv nnd New Vj'k- v&lcn started last March,
allLgdhNrldlcuTed- fro- tart by the
which for years have inonopo.,'e1 lnVm'
has been a perfeot success, as the leadlue, ;Rer"
chants of our city have seen the necessity of an
outside line, and have patronized It from Us
commencement. During the summer two iron
Hteamshlps, built expressly for the trade, were
added to it, and we understand two more large
iron steamers are nearly finished, and will be
placed on the llnedurlng the winter. These boats
running regularly will aid greatly In keep ng
onr river open. The line intends running next
summer four large passenger steamers, with
accommodation for four or five hundred pas
fceogers each, between this city, Cape May, and
New York. This will, no doubt, be a very suc
cessful undertaking. The rales of lreignt by
this line, though the canals are closed and no
opposition, are 10 cents per hundred pounds, or
four cents per foot, lower than ever freight was
taken before between Philadelphia aud New
York; and as this line has taken "a share of and
broken a monopoly of freights between the two
chief cities ol the Union, we wish It Buccess.

"It Is qnlte probable that we have reached the
highest pulut ot expansion demaudd by the crop
nioveim nt. aud may soon begin to look lor a return
of some of the currency that bus lately been thus
drawn from our city batiks. In the maiitlme this
extensive distribution of money lu small amounts all
over tbe country will have the effect of lndtiolug
activity In other directions than those ot merely
speculative character, stimulating Industrial en
terprise :nf evary kind, aud developing the re
sources of our various m ant'. factories by creating a
deuiaud for their numerous products. The heavy
Item of transportation which the movement ot the
crops to market points will occasion In the buslneis
of tbe country will add much to the revenues of the
dlllerent railroads. Increasing largely the wetlln of
the great li uuk lines and brlnglug much neodad re

Value of their stock be enhanced, while other

Of commercial polity, designed to supply recognized
and legitimate warns of the buman lamlly, and bj
extending trade advance civilisation, will reap tbelr
proportion of the fruits of this active movement.
Should It be fouud that the demaud for currency
West and booth Is still unsatisfied, and the drain
upon the city banks continues, mill there Is no need
tor any great degree of stringency here. Tbe Govern
ment has about HOuo.tOi more currency In the
Bub Treasury than It has any present need for, and
is prepared, if called upon, to come to the leliet of
the banks, to the extui of some two or three mil
lions by cashing tbe three per cent, certificates, en
gaging, when the pressure It removed to reissus
them. In this view of affairs, therefore, there
exists no sulliclent reason for monetary stringency,
aDd, should any ensue. It will be the result ot artifi
cial agencies. Care should be taken to prevent any
comblaatlon of sunh, producing a result to greatly to
be deplored in Its disturbing Influence upoa tha whele
trade of the country. During tae whole of last week
the monsy market, although active at seven per
