St. Paul's Easter
Teaching.*

ESUS CHRIST is for St. Paul the representative Man, in such a sense that the nature and destiny of mankind are summed up and revealed in the life of Christ. But He is also the image of the invisible God, in whom dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily the very life of the universe, the instrument in its creation. He is before all things, and in Him all things consist or hold together. . . . The great significance of the doctrine is that the laws which Christ ordained, revealed, and obeyed in His own life are the laws to which not only mankind, but the whole universe must conform. The life of Christ is the whole counsel of God made manifest-it is the key to the great mysteries of the world. And the culminating facts in it are His death and Resurrection. It was this aspect of Christianity which laid such a strong hold upon St. Paul. "Death, the gate of life"; "suffering, the condition of redemption"; "self-sacrifice, the atonement between man and God"; in one form or another the great principle of gain through loss dominates all his teaching. The most disastrous defeat that evil ever inflicted upon good-the crucifixion of Christ, was the condition of the most transcendent victory of good over evil. And since the subject of this defeat and this victory was He in whom all things consist, this law of victory through defeat must be expected to operate throughout the whole of nature, and most strik ingly in the highest and most divine part of nature-in the human soul. A modern poet has spoken of "the paradox which comforts while it mocks, that life shall succeed in that it seems to fail"; and there is much in the Epistle to the Romans which shows St. Paul's sympathy

with this thought.

Certainly this faith alone can keep us still hopeful through the manifold disappointments and disillusionments of life. The belief that no pure hope shall ever be finally frustrated is a belief which a Christian may rightly hold, and which may be his mainstay through life, even though most of his early idols may be shattered. The message of Easter should be a call to invincible courage and hopefulness. On the practical side, the doctrine of the Cross as understood by St. Paul binds us to perpetual effort. "Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things that are behind, and reaching forward to those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of my high calling in God through Christ Jesus." To rest satisfied with any attainment is to contradict the deepest law of life. Rest, even in its true sense, as unimpeded activity, is not for us while we live in time; for the Lord of life

From St. Paul at Athens, An Easter Sermon in "Faith and Knowledge," by the Rev. W. R. Inge.

Himself found none, but perpetual struggle. If we are not always rising on stepping-stones of our dead selves to higher things, we are not living our true life. No limit can be fixed for our upward progress, it seems to be infinite; for this must be what St. Paul means when he makes the goal of our journey "the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ." Meanwhile ,we must die daily, as he puts it, "crucifying the old man," and putting on the new man, "which after God is created in righteousness and true holiThe death and Resurrection of Christ are never absent from his mind; they are constantly being shown in miniature, as it were, in the lives of His servants. St. Paul does not contrast "Christ for us" and "Christ in us," as so many later divines have done. Both these expressions represent great and precious truths, and let us never dwell long on one of these without thinking of the other. But in St. Paul's mind they were

not separate or separable. He who or dained the way of man's redemption, He who revealed it, and He who trod the path for our sakes, are one and the same. How completely the name of Christ was for St. Paul identified with the law of life, is shown by such striking expressions as, "To me to live is Christ," and by the verse about knowing Christ no more after the flesh, which has perplexed many readers. To know Christ after the flesh is to think only of the particular, not of the universal, aspects of His life and death; to think of Him as a man, not as the second Adam, who is a quickening Spirit and the Lord from heaven.

Church Extension.

The past winter has seen considerable expansion of the missionary work of Brooklyn under the direction of Arch

deacon J. T. Russell. The two missions are, St. already successfully started Lydia's, which meets at Blake avenue cents', at King's Highway. and Milford street, and the Holy InnoTwo others are being organized, one at Flatlands, and the other at Thirty-second street and Clarendon Road. These missions are in charge of earnest lay workers, and will so continue until the work is itself strong enough to warrant the placing of resident clergy.

St. Luke's church, Allston, Mass., has been successful in obtaining contributions amounting to $6,000, wherewith to pay one-half of the indebtedness which has been resting on the parish for some years. This will be a great relief to the congregation. The field at Allston has been worked only a short time, but the results are very promising.

The missionary work in the mountains of Virginia, under the supervision of Archdeacon Neve and others, is progressing in a very encouraging manner. In Page and Rockingham counties, on the west side of the Blue Ridge, efforts are being made for a more thorough organization and equipment. The field is under the special care of the Rev. J. R. Ellis. It is purposed to erect two parish houses and a church; to employ two permanent teachers, and three temporary ones; and to have a tent for services at different points in the mountains during the summer.

Several of the vacancies in the missions of the diocese of Chicago have been filled since Christmas, there being but a few places now without regular clerical supply. St. Bartholomew's, Englewood, and St. Martin's, Austin, and the Church of the Holy Comforter, Kenilworth, are still without rectors.

a

At Divide, Col., a mountain railway junction, St. David's chapel, begun few months ago under the direction of the Rev. B. W. Bonell, of Manitou, was consecrated by Bishop Olmsted on Tuesday, March 27, he having confirmed the first class in this mission the evening before.

The rector of Trinity church, Plattsburgh, N. Y. (diocese of Albany), and his curate have revived the services of the Church at Moore's Forks, N. Y. The work here, established many years ago by the late Rev. Drs. Henry and Joseph Coit, of St. Paul's School, Concord, had been abandoned and the church sold.

The mission at All Saints', Attleboro, Mass., has succeeded in measures whereby its debt will be wiped out at Easter. The consecration of the church will soon follow.

Sunday-school Work.

The Washington Sunday-school Institute at its March meeting heard an instruction on St. Stephen, from the Rev. George F. Dudley, in continuation of this season's course of practical lessons from the lives of New Testament saints, especially applied to children. Mr. Dudley brought out the lessons of St. Stephen's courage in the face of danger and death, his equipment for ministry and service derived from his thorough training in Holy Writ, and the effect of character upon outward expression, as evidenced in the testimony to the protomartyr, that "all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an

angel." The topic of Sunday-school magazines and papers was presented by Mrs. W. T. Hastings, of the Church of the Good Shepherd, who showed the value of the five Sunday-school journals and reviews published in the American Church, some as sources of information, guidance and inspiration to the teachers, others for the entertainment and instruction of the children, and all as means of keeping teachers and pupils in touch with the larger life of the Church in the nation. The children's number of The Spirit of Missions was included in this review, and highly commended for its practical service to the cause of missions.

On March 18, just forty years ago, the first service of what is now St. Luke's church, San Francisco, Cal., was held. By a curious coincidence, that date fell, as this year, not only on Sunday, but was also the Third Sunday in Lent. The first service was held in a school-house, still standing on Polk street, and the congregation numbered about fifty persons, two of whom, Mrs. J. G. Clark, and Mrs. Robert Brotherton, are still members of the parish. At the close of the first service, a Sunday-school was formed, starting with thirty children. St. Luke's is now one of the largest parishes in the diocese, with a fine stone church and a large membership.

The Rev. C. B. Crawford, rector of the Church of the Redeemer, Biloxi, Miss., has been holding a Church service on the first Sunday afternoon of the month, at the Beauvoir Soldiers' Memorial Home-the old home of Jefferson Davis, about three miles from Biloxi. On Sunday afternoon, April 1, he presented to the Home thirty Bibles and thirty Prayer Books, a gift of the New York Bible and Prayer Book Society, thus providing the Home, for the first time, with Bibles and the Book of Common Prayer.

At Emmanuel, the negro church in Memphis, Tenn., the Rev. Maximo Duty, in charge, considerable

interest was manifested in a series of meetings, beginning with the Feast of the Annunciation. All the clergy in Memphis, with the bishop, volunteered to take part in these services, which were well attended.

An interesting service was recently held in All Saints' church, Morris, Minn. (district of Duluth). There is an Indian Government School near the town, and a number of the children attending it who come from our missions on the Indian Reservations, were present at the service. The pastor, the Rev. Joseph Alten, baptized two of the Indian girls, and presented five for confirmation.

The Church Club of the diocese of Maine attended a special service at St. Luke's cathedral, Portland, on Tuesday evening, March 27. Dean Vernon, who was the preacher, spoke of the silent influence for good exercised by the very existence of such a club in the community, and emphatically opposed the proposed change in the constitution which would admit the clergy to membership.

The Rev. Herbert Parrish, O.S.B., conducted a ten days' parochial mission at All Saints' church, Ravenswood, Chicago, the Rev. C. E. Bowles, rector, from Wednesday in Passion Week to Easter Day inclusive. There were three celebrations of the Holy Communion each week day, a children's mission at 4 P.M., and a general mission service at 8 P.M., with services at different hours on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. On Palm Sunday, at 4 P.M., there was an address to men, and at 9:30 A.M., on Maundy Thursday, an address to

The Bishop of Rhode Island has recently received $5,000 from an unmentioned donor for Foreign and Domestic Missions. It will probably be divided between Alaska and Japan.

The Bishop of Mexico has just. finished his first itinerary through the State of Durango. In the city of Durango he confirmed the first class ever presented to any of our bishops in that part of Mexico. Bishop Aves visited an old convent church situated in the very heart of the city, which, though confiscated by the Government some fifty years ago, and unused and uncared for, is in most excellent state of preservation. It is understood that this property can be had for $15,000 gold. The Rev. L. S. Bates, of Torreon, feels that it could scarcely be duplicated for $50,000 gold, and would not only serve the needs of the present church in Durango, but might easily become in one generation the cathedral of the diocese of Durango or the diocese of West Mexico.

St. Mark's church, Grand Rapids (Western Michigan), of which Bishop McCormick has been rector for the past eight years, has been made a procathedral, and the Rev. Sidney N. Ussher, who has recently returned from a long trip abroad, has been called as dean. He will commence his work on Palm Sunday.

The Standing Committee of the diocese of Western New York met in Buffalo, Saturday, April 7, and confirmed the nomination by the bishop of the Rev. Nathan W. Stanton, rector of St. Mark's, Buffalo, N. Y., and the Rev. G. Sherman Burrows, rector of St. Mark's, N. Tonawanda, as members of the Ecclesiastical Court, in place of the Rev. Drs. Sills and Hayes, challenged by Dr. Crapsey. The bishop sent the above names to the chancellor of the diocese, who, with Dr. Crapsey's permission, made them public.

The National Conference of Charities and Correction will hold its thirty-first session in Philadelphia, from May 9 to 16, meeting there for the first time. Four similar conferences will also hold sessions in Philadelphia during the early part of May; the Jewish Conference of Charities, May 6 and 7, the National Conference on the Education of Backward, Truant and Delinquent Children, May 7 to 9, the National Federation of Day Nurseries, May 15, and the National League of Women Workers, May 18 and 19.

Mr. George C. Thomas, addressing the diocesan branch of the Woman's United Offering in the Philadelphia Church House on April 3, said that the Board of Missions had received up to April 1 $40,000 more than at the same time last year. This year's offerings will be presented at the Church of the Incarnation on Wednesday, May 2.

A preliminary course in social work will be given at the University of Pennsylvania from April 18 to June 1, in response to many and insistent demands from religious, social and philanthropic organizations. The course will be given

at 4 P.M., from Monday to Friday of each week in Logan Hall, and is under the direction of Professor Carl Kelsey. It will include lectures on "The Management of Private Charitable Societies," "Public and Private Relief," "Work for Children," "The Church and Industrial Problems," and "Neighborhood Work."

Steps are being taken to place the invested funds of the Church of the Holy Apostles, Philadelphia, the Richard Newton Sunday-school Building, the Memorial Chapel of the Holy Communion, and the Chapel of St. Simon the Cyrenian, connected with Holy Apostles' church, in the control of a trust company which will execute a deed of trust. The total amounts at present are $100,250.

The

None of the requested offerings at the Church of St. Luke and the Epiphany, Philadelphia, go toward the current expenses. For other objects the parish gave three years ago about $3,500; last year over $7,000 and this year the amount will be at least $13,000. rector, the Rev. Dr. D. M. Steel, tells his people that they will not be doing their full duty until they contribute each year for "Church work" an amount at least equal to that given for "church expenses.'

In a campaign in which the issue was "Reform," Mr. James R. Smith, junior warden of the cathedral, was, on April 3, elected Mayor of Faribault, Minn.

The students of the Western Theological Seminary have formed themselves into a missionary society called "The Bishop Anderson Missionary Society." Mr. J. H. Smale is president, and Mr. W. J. A. Beale is secretary and treasurer. The rules provide for daily prayer for missions and for systematic study of the mission field.

The work of the Welcome House in connection with St. Stephen's church, Boston, Mass., has so grown that an additional establishment has been provided in the Dorchester district. These homes are open to any girl or woman who finds herself friendless and alone in the city of Boston. Ever since the work was started, some two years ago, it has been found to supply a crying need.

Necrology.

REV. ROBERT C. BOOTH.

The Rev. Robert C. Booth died on Monday evening, April 9, at the residence of Dr. Peck, New York City. Mr. Booth was for fourteen years at St. Bartholomew's church, New York City, and was instrumental in building up the work of the parish house. His health failed some three years ago and he went South, but did not recover. The funeral service was at St. Bartholomew's church, on Maundy Thursday, Bishop Greer officiating.

REV. DR. GEORGE H. CLARK, D.D.

The Rev. Dr. George Henry Clark, who died on Saturday, March 31, in the eighty-seventh year of his age, was the third in a family of four brothers, all of whom attained distinction in the ministry. The oldest, Thomas Marsh Clark, was rector of Christ church from 1850 to 1854, Bishop of Rhode Island from 1854 until his death in 1903, and for four years Presiding Bishop of the Church in the United States; the second brother, Rufus Wheelwright Clark, was for a long time pastor of the First Dutch Reformed church in Albany, and the fourth, Samuel Adams Clark, was rector of St. John's church, Elizabeth, N. J., for nearly twenty years.

George Henry Clark was graduated from Yale in 1843; studied theology at Alexandria and was ordained by Bishop Eastburn, of Massachusetts, Feb. 12, 1846. He soon became rector of All Saints' church, Worcester, Mass., from which parish in 1854 he was called to the rectorship of St. John's church, Savannah, Ga. In November, 1860, he made an appeal for the preservation of the Union, which was published. In the following year his connection with the parish was severed, and he came North, making his residence temporarily at Pittsfield, Mass.; but it was too late to get his library and sermons with other movables through the lines, and they were sold by an agent of the Confederacy as the property of an "alien enemy. In April, 1862, he was invited to officiate in Christ church, and in the following June was elected rector, succeeding his brother after an interval of two short rectorships.

Dr. Clark-he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Trinity College in 1863-continued as rector of Christ church until 1867, when he resigned on account of ill-health. For the thirtynine remaining years of his life, he resided in Hartford, devoting himself for the most part to the reading of history and other studies. At one time he officiated regularly in St. James's church in West Hartford, and in 1872 he became for awhile a special agent of the Society for the Increase of the Ministry. A permanent result of his historical studies remains in his volume on Oliver Cromwell, published in 1892, with illustrations from old paintings and prints-a careful sketch, highly eulogistic of its hero. In 1864 he became a life member of the Connecticut Historical Society, and at the time of his death had been for fourteen years the senior trustee of Trinity College.

The funeral was held from Dr. Clark's late residence, in Hartford, on Tuesday afternoon, April 3, Bishop Brewster officiating, assisted by the Rev. James Goodwin and the Rev. Dr. J. T. Huntington.

REV. E. G. HAWKS.

After an illness of ten months the Rev. Edward Green Hawks, M.D., entered into rest, at his home in Philadelphia, Penn., on Thursday, April 5. He was born in Philadelphia, April 15, 1866, studied in the public schools, the Central High School, and Jefferson Medical College. For many years he was Zion lay-reader in church and the Church of the Covenant. He was ordered deacon and became assistant

minister at the Church of the Covenant, all the time attending to a large medical practice.

REV. FREDERICK HERBERT ROWSE.

The Rev. Frederick Herbert Rowse died suddenly at his home in St. Paul, Minn., Wednesday, April 4, 1906. Mr. Rowse was born in Augusta, Me., fortysix years ago, of a family notable for devotion to the Church and to all good works. He was a student at Trinity and Bowdoin Colleges, and for several years gave his time to Church music, for which he had a distinct genius, both in taste and in execution. He was organist at Grace church, Medford, under the Rev. C. L. Hutchins, and there determined

to enter the ministry of the Church. Pursuing his course in theology privately, he was ordered deacon by Bishop Neely in 1884, and was ordained priest in the following year by the same bishop. His first work was as a missionary in Aroostook county. Then for fourteen years he was rector of Christ church, Plymouth. In 1902 he came to Faribault, Minn., to be on the cathedral staff and to be chaplain of St. Mary's Hall. In 1903, at Bishop Edsall's urgent request, he took up the difficult missionary work at Pipestone and Marshall, and made it possible, after two years' service, to have each of these places served by its own missionary. Since January, 1905, he has been rector of Ascension church, St. Paul. In all these places Mr. Rowse gained the love of his people. Generous to a fault, brilliant in wit, cultivated in music and literature, invariably kind to all who knew him, especially the poor, his genial presence will be greatly missed in the diocese of Minnesota. pathy of the whole diocese goes out to Mrs. Rowse and his two sons, one a student at Gallaudet, the other at the University of Minnesota.

COLONEL JOHN M. GLIDDEN, NEWCASTLE, ME.

Colonel John M. Glidden, the senior warden of St. Andrew's church, Newcastle, Me., who was born at Liverpool, England, July 4, 1843, and who has been closely associated with, and a very generous supporter of, the parish from his earliest manhood; his father, Captain William T. Glidden having built the church, which is one of the most beautiful and perfectly appointed of its size in the country, died very suddenly on Wednesday morning, March 28, of angina pectoris. The funeral services, which were largely attended by the leading citizens of the twin-towns of Newcastle and Damariscotta, as well as by many friends from all over the country, were held in the Church on Saturday, March 31, Bishop Codman, assisted by Dean Vernon and the Rev. Charles F. Lee and Dr. Berry, priest-in-charge, officiating. Colonel Glidden was one of the trustees of diocesan funds.

At a special meeting of the vestry held on Sunday, April 1, after Evening Prayer, a committee was appointed to draw up suitable resolutions of affectionate respect. Their report is as follows, viz.:

"That we, the vestry of St. Andrew's church, Newcastle, Me., hereby place on record our deep sense of the loss which has befallen our parish and the community at large in consequence of the death of our esteemed colleague and friend, the senior warden of our parish, Colonel John M. Glidden.

our

"That we do hereby further place on record affectionate appreciation of the untiring zeal, the loyal and faithful service and the generous liberality of our beloved late senior warden, in furthering the best interests of our parish, extending over a period of more than a quarter of a century.

"And that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of the vestry, published in the local papers and in the New York CHURCHMAN, and a copy hereof be sent to Mrs. Glidden, with the assurance of the profound sympathy and heartfelt condolence of the entire parish, with herself and family, in her bereavement.' (Signed) WILLIAM H. BERRY, D.D., Priest-in-charge, Chairman, PHINUS H. GAY, GUY W. HUSSEY.

April 3, 1906.

At

HON. STANLEY WOODWARD.

a meeting of the Luzerne County Pennsylvania Bar Association the following was read and adopted:

"Resolved: That the announcement of the death of Hon. Stanley Woodward has occasioned profound sorrow to the bar of Luzerne county and to the community in which he has been for half century an influential citizen, lawyer and judge.

a

"He was in many respects a remarkable man. Endowed by nature with a sound mind and almost perfect health, he judged the people of this judicial district for twenty-one years with impartial fairness and great acceptability.

"His distinguishing characteristic as a jurist was an ever present desire to do even justice between man and man, without fear, favor or affection. His ambition was not to achieve a great reputation through rigid adherence to the technical niceties of the law, but rather to judge the people according as he was given understanding to see the right.

"When his judicial career was ended, he could have said, as did Samuel when he laid down the office of judge over Israel: 'Whose or have I taken, or whose ass have I taken, or whom have I defrauded, or whom have I oppressed, or of whom have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith?' and the answer made by all Israel would have been made by all our people: "Thou hast not defrauded us nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken aught from any man's hand.'

"The duty of promptly keeping appointments he never neglected, and in his treatment of members of the bar he made no distinctions, but accorded to all unvarying courtesy.

"Of generous disposition his hospitality was unbounded. He was a faithful friend, just in all the relations of life, and true in all of his dealings with his fellow-men.

"Contented with his lot, he never entered the mad rush for wealth, realizing the wisdom of the prayer that asks for neither poverty nor riches.

"We mourn his loss and cherish the memory of his life.

"Resolved: That we tender to his family our sincere condolence.

"Resolved: That these resolutions be engrossed, furnished to the public prints, and with the permission of the court spread upon the records, and that a copy be furnished to his family."
