The 1 rnttnnlfil AaalvrrearY ef Ike Eatraaee rthel.nt Blehep While lt tho minlstrr Iniereetlna Services la Old Christ Church. , This morning, at 11 o'clock, services counectcd with the one hundredth anniversary of the admis sion of the late llishop White, flm Dishop of Tenn sylvania, to holy orders in tho l'rotestant EpUcopal Chnrch, were neld in old Christ Charch, Second st reet, above V arkct. They were of a most interest ing character throughout. The celebration, In addi tion to its anniversary character. Is I"a t0 IPWK tji time pf rci9TBlP too JateBiihop's re rnalns from the family vault, where they have here tofore rested, to the crypt which has been prepared for them beneath the chancel of Christ Chnrch, where they will hereafter be deposited. This dispo sltion of them is peculiarly appropriate, when It Is considered that Dishop White was one of the early rectors of that chnrch. Wlliam White, D. D., lirst Dishop of the Pro tectant Episcopal Church for the Diocese of Penn sylvania, was born in Philadelphia on April 4, 1748. He studied at the College or Philadelphia, now the University, and graduated lrom thence in 17C5. lie srterwards studied theology, and when fully pre pared went to Kc gland to be ordained a minister of the Established Church; all the churches In this country of what afterwards became the Protestant Episcopal denomination being then dependent upon the church organization of the mother country, fie was ordained deacon in 1770, and afterwards priest in 1772, consequently the present year Is the centen nial of his deacon's ordination, or his first entry Into the ministry. The Dishop of London performed the deacon s ordination, and the Bishop of Norwich admitted him to priest's orders. After being admitted to the priesthood he ic turned to nts native city ana be came assistant or curate of Christ Church, in con nection with su Peter's, then under the same gov ernment, which po sltion he occupied until he be came rector a few years later. At one time he wa& the only minister of Ms denomination In Pennsyl vania. In the year 1777 ; In the midst of the Revolu tionary times, he was elected chaplain to Congress, and In that position took part in many or the promi nent official acts of that body connected with tho war. It was on the organization or the first Con gress that Dishop White offered the first prayer. This was in ade memorable by the action of General Washington, who was observed to be the only mem ber who took the trouble to kneel. The meeting which issued a call for a convention preparatory to the organization of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States was held tn his private residence in this city In the year 1784. Afterwards, In 17S9, he presided over the convention Itself, meeting tn Christ Church, and wrote the con stitution of the church. With Bishop Seabury he had the chief part in revising the Book of Common Prayer for the nse of tho church In this country. Having been elected Dishop of Pennsylvania in 1786, after the Independent Church was established, and the country at peace with England, he pro ceeded to England and received Bishop's orders, together with Bishop Provost, of New York, from the Episcopal hands of the Archbishop of Canter bury. This wns on February 4, 1787. Some of Bishop White's prominent published works are "Compara tive Views of the Controversy Between tho Calvln iRts and Armenians," "Memoirs of the Protestant Kpiscopal Church.'' "A Commentary on the Ordina tion Services,'' "Lectures on Catecaism,"' etc, lie died in Philadelphia July 17, 1886. ine urst rector or cnrist cnurcn was tneitev. Mr. Clayton, who took charge about the year 1695. The next is sunnosed to be Kev. Evan Evans, who was suceeedtd in 1719 by Kev. Mr. Vicarv. He was followed by Rev. Mr. Oumnilugs (120), llev. Robert .Tenney (1742), Rev. Jiichard Peters (1702), and Dishop vv line as uNBiHMtiiii i n:; tiuu as rector ( w 1U). It is related of Bishop White that when a little bov. living on High (now Market) street, between Fourth snu t inn streets, next aoor to a Quaker family or the name of Pascal, ttiiita little daughter belonging to the latter family used, as a child, to play with the boy who afterwards became bishop, in the quaint language of "Watson's Annals," this youug lady "when gtown up nsed tosav.In herown style of speech, that Billy White was born a bishop, for she never could persuade him to play anything but church. He would tie her apron around his neck for a gown and stand behind a chair for bis pulpit, whilst she, seated berore him on a low bench, was the congregation." une commemorative services m Christ Church began at the appointed time In the presence of a large audience. Tho Historical Society of Pennsyl vania and several other organizations were present in full force. A procession of the clergy, laity, the officers of the church, and the invited guests was formed in the tower of tho church and passed around the church to the front entrance, bearing the remains of the late Dishop. The front pavement of the church was guarded witn a line oi ponce oniceis irom tne inter ruption of the crowd. Tlie following was the order of the procession: Trustees and faculty of the University of Pennsyl vania. iUayor of the city. Managers of the Pennsylvania Hospital. Invited guests. Members oi the Historical Society. Trustees of the Episcopal Academy. Trustees of Church Extension Society. Trustees of the Bishop White Prayer Book So ciety. j' acuity oi tne Divinity ocnooi. The clergy of the city and elsewhere in surplices. Right Rev. William Dacon Stevens, Bishop of the diocese of Pennsylvania. vestrymen or tne c:nrcn. On the arrival of the procession in the church edifice, the 15th Psalm from the Psalter was sung, during tne singing oi wuicn me remains, eucusou iu a solid oaken coilin, mounted with the marks of the bishop's oftlce, were borne up the aisle to the chan cel, preceded by the Dishop and otllclatlng clergy men. It was there formally delivered by Kev. Wil liam White Bronson, assistant minister of 1st. Peter's, and a grandson or Dishop nitc, on Denaii or me White family, into the custody of the rector, church, wardens, and vestrymen of Christ Church, and by them form ally accepted through Rev. Mr. Foggo, the rector. The prayers set for the special servloe were then ottered and the lesson from Acts chap, xx, was read. The sinalnir of the 27M h hymn followed, after which the centenary discourse, by the Bishop of the Diocese, was ueiivereu. The Dishop reviewed the life of the lato Bishop in every paiticuiar, ana gave a picture oi uis cuurca life as it was lived one hundred years ago. Bishop White's various important services to the Church in this country were reviewed in detail, on the day when the Declaration of independence wa declared he united In the recommendation or the various churches that the prayers for the king should be omitted from the service, thus showing that from the lirst he was ready to cast in his lot with the new republic. He was the first to suggest the representation of tne laity in the governing councils of the Chnrch. He Introduced, In addition, several new ideas which had never been thought of berore. One of these was the organization of the thurch so that It could be capable of self-govern, menu without any reference to the civil authority Another was the power to the Church to elect its own bishops, in which elections the laity tad equal rights with the clergy. His efforts in benalf of the Church were what the efforts of General Washington were to the country. When Wash ington sat In his pew here, and Bishop Waits ministered In this chancel, there were present the two men to whom the nation was most Indebted for Its lire; on the one nana for its civil liberty and on the other ror fot a free church. His teachluss were alwavs oonosed to the sacerdotalism aud ritualism which have since crept into many churches. If yonder bishop now in nis conin wouia go into some or our modern ritualistic churches, how would he be grieved? He would not know how to conduct the service which he himself framed. He never told the congregation to remain standing until the clergy had left the chancel. He never wished the com municants to remain until what remained of the sacred elements were eaten and druukeu. He did ' not care to have bis congregation bow at the name of Jesus Christ in the creed, and even wrote two pampulets disapproving the practice. He was very liberal in his views, and in this spirit was one or tho founders of the Bible Society. When It anniversary services were held In Episcopal churches, clergymen of other deno minations siooa sute oy siuc vt ua mm in tne chan cel and addressed the people. When he died. people of all denominations came up to the temnle of God to do him noaor. The study of his published works is still one oi me greatest sareguanti sgftinst Innovation of any kind. our last onice is to deposit his mortal reraulm In the new tomb wherein never yet man was laid. In Uil chnrch he was baptized, here continued, here was married, ana i ram nere was uunod. we have come here to honor the memory of the great.

Yet the presence of these remains awakecs the greatest interest in usalu in yonder coiliu Iks one who was the greatest of patriots aud men. The memory or ibe Juu is blessed. At the conclusion of ihe sermon the remains were lowered lnu the vault beneath the chancel of the church by the clergymen who acted as pall-bearers. ti-e Dishop pronouncing me loiiowiug words: - "la the name f Ibe father, and at the Sun, and of the Hull (ilipftt.
