The chewer of Incorporation-obtained In
compliance with the vote of the Convention
of lfdS, from the Court of Common Plc. of
Allegheny county for the Board alsorusee
of the Diocese of Pittsburgh. will be now
Inid before you. I call the special attention
of the Clergy end Laity to this fact.—that
there is now a permanent, incorporated
Board, chosen annually by this Conteation, to
whose care may be given any trusts of land or
money, or of any property. for the benefit of
any parish, existing or 'proposed. or for any
church use or work. Lots of ground are of
ten offered in places where it is hoped that a
church may be built after a while. but where
there Is not. and ought not yet to be, a sentry
formed. Gifts of other eons are not seldom
proposed. Such offers are lost for lack
of some trusty recipient. -or for • lack of
some sure nod central record of such church
property. This Board will receive. hold, reg
ister and rightly • appropriate to the use
named, any property entrusted to . It. Its re
cords and Its action will be always open to
the inspection of the Convention. The Con
Tendon and myself are much Indebted to Bill
Burgwin. Esq., for his personal am! profes
sional kindness In preparing and securlngthis
charter for the Diocese.
The Finance Committee, with my - entire
concurrence, has also sought a Charter of In
corporation, anticipating-the appivral of the
Convention, which I am sure they mtil re
ceive. By such a Charter, while the control
of the Convention Is kept entire over the mem
bership and acts of the Committee, the safety
of Important Church Funds belonging to the
Diocese, and the neceesary facility to muta
tion them, ate fidly secured, as they can be -
IT by the Corporate legal Chhrter of the
Committee. Such Trust Committees are usu.
ally Incorporated in the older Dioceses. The
Episcopal Fund. the Bishops House. the Con
vention Fund. and the Christm. Fund, come
now under the rare of
need a nd
Commit
tee. Other Ponds will need and claim their
care in the future,
. .
As occasion has called up the mention of
the Christmas Fund for the relief of aged and
disablecielcrgymen, It is my duty to remind ,
you, Brethren, that this is *fund which mast
not be allowed to fail. Death has lately ta
ken away one of the two brethren alded
this fond. Age or permanent sleknesa will
BOOM fill the vacant place. There is moreover
nothing now left in .the - Treasury to
! pay to the venerable brother yet living
! his dues for the coming half of the cur
rent year. To supply this year's need. and
to begin the formation of a permanent fund,
for this use. are clear duties. The Committee
will have my old to any such effort.
To pursuance or the resolves of the last
Convention. the Bishop with the rest of the
Committee appointed, addressed a letter to the
Bishop of Capotown. congratulating him and
his com-provinclat Bishop. In South Africa, hi
the name of this Diocese, on the conaecration
of Bishop Macrorie. That letter, and the re
e of Mahon Grey, will be laid before you.
These detail. and suggestions meet the requi
sition. of the Canon touching this address; end
they bring before you the matters. I have :to
propose for your consideration .
w s?
and let these word. be to Feu by way ofi the
charge whieb the Church bids .ler Bishops
give hls charge and people.
There remain sometoplcs of counsel on which
I wish to speak t 6 my Diocese.
First, I name our Mow. Minions. There
seems to be no need of anymore or of any new
machinery. What we have In, I believe, very
good and very ample; and • it works.
on the whole, very comparing
our Diocesan missionary Income and
work with those of other Dioceses, we have
nothing to blush for before men. Perhaps we
ought to feel humble before Him who Mk.
from us more than any such comparative duti
fulness. Now, the fact is, that very few of ,
tie clergy br laity give adequate thought to tlifi '
matterof the rDreaCing of the Gospel, and the
establishing of the church within the twenty
four counties of our Diocese, an area of about
10.1:0) square miles, with a population of more
than 1010,C(0. When I get a rector to go with
me, or w h en he goes himself to some town
or hamlet where the church is needed, and
where snuls hunger and thurst for her, that
brother gets something of the feeling about
that one spot that the Bishop gets about one
or two score of such places. 'Sometimes the
place Is one that promises to becc me a
anvillrg
town, uometlmes the interest felt is for lage. or a little dock, that will not very moon.
or ever become very large or very rich. Dis
cretion mettle used la EppOrtloning nASOIOS
arf aldt but the heart is cold that will not yearn
to send the Gospel, so the church elves It,
to the needy and the hungry everwherm
The truth, however. Is that far the larger
part of our Diocesan missionary work is done
in and for centres of population, promising
sure and often rfleidgrowth. The true course
is to make such points thechlef centres of our
effort.. It Is thin very work that is going one
It is much more of thls that I plead for. Out'
those very centres need help. It takes.means
irlveu to regin the work In them. In some of
the old towns of our region the Church is
almost unknown. The early population was
of race, quite alien to our Church. ! Yet even
In some of these we find our own people, and
not all of them have forgotten their Mother
Church, or canoe to long for her. Such people
must be ministered to now nod them and
these ministrations will somethnea beget fair
Churches. In new towns along the railroads:
In the lumber, oil. Iron. coal and tanning re
gions we find our own people; sometimes many
of them, always some of them; but In very
few Inefilheel W e iry, or will they establish
the Church byown unaided reiources.
A missionary must go among them. Ile must
aloft* and organize their energies. Generally
he will find some who are able to give money;

and iron centres, many old count, folk, who
are ours V birth and early nurture. but who
have little to give, and still less of the Idea of
supporting their church, which, an they knew
her "at house," never so depended on their vol

are many a te ra whoneed the clirch,'and

how, to nattily their souls. I met all these
chimes; and the Church'. mission Is to them,
na well to to her own. Somethnes, too often,
one hears the remark Gant there are no Epis
copalians in su beginning or but few; and so
no need or no for a church; or that
there ore Godless souls there; or many
that are mbried by systems of religion fatally
erroneous, seems not to nth churchmen reason
enough to send the Gospel end the Church to
the place- Perhaps if ouch plates, slush needs
and Instatings.were a thousal milers west of
us. thhi reality Of the Mies in work pro.

Our church, we may be very sure, has no mind

would, therefore, take any pains to reassure a

and directly Himself must do. Such anxiety
Is justified in a measure by facts past and
Pretient, and by tendencies to extremes al
ways fonnd-in men's minds. One bears now
and then. not often, thank Godl—such lan
guage about the grace of baptism as sheer
materinlism alone could explain. Some
men talk rashly and grossly, and
seem to make Divine Grace something else
than - His free, direct, spiritual work, who
divides to every roan severally as be wills.
Such error or incaution calls for unsparing,
out-spoken exposure and sharp rebuke. These
errortsts must be reclaimed or opposed, as well
as the others. The docile Children of the
Church Must not be misled, nor left to alarm
from either side. They Must be 'shown that
the Bible and the Prayer Book concur in teach
. legs that shut out the errors by declaring the
truth; and that the remedyof or an error Is not
the rejection of the troth Of which It Is man's
perversion: but the effectual remedy which
faithful love brings. Is the Bill explication of
