of the city. The sum of $25,000 was secured in a short time and Mr. L. S. Baumgardner donated a lot of 60 feet frontage, valued at $4,000; the starter of the rectory fund gave liberally; others followed; Mr. W. S. Daley (since deceased) offering to add one-tenth to what should be otherwise raised. The architects are Messrs. Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson, of Boston, Mass., and the plans include a parish house and rectory as well as church. The building is Perpendicular Gothic, of dark-gray limestone, trimmed with lighter buff stone. The interior is in the natural stone, and terra-cotta brick; the woodwork of dark oak. The church from west to east, exclusive of chancel, is 113 feet, and the total width of nave and aisles 52 feet. The entire floor is built of concrete, with all aisles laid in mosaic. To the left and north is the entrance vestibule, treated as a low wing, and on the right and south is the baptistery and entrance from porte-cochère, over which is carried the tower, 98 feet high. The transept, to be added later, will be 70 feet from north to south, and the chancel about 35 feet deep. The nave is 60 feet high; total seating capacity 1,125; estimated cost when completed, $100,000. The land value of the property is estimated at $15,000.

At the service of benediction the vested procession numbered seventy-five people, consisting of choir, vestry, the Bishops of Ohio and Kansas City, and other clergy. The music, under conduct of Mr. C. H. Thompson, choirmaster, and Miss Willing, organist, was inspiring. Bishop Leonard's sermon was on the superior glory of the "latter house," from Hag. ii. 9. Bishop Atwill made a brief reminiscent address and preached in the afternoon, as he did also at Trinity in the evening. The offerings were liberal. The day marked a great advance in the history and work of the

Church in that section.

New Buildings and Improvements. The New York archdeaconry mission called St. Simeon's, Melrose, has, with the approval of the bishop coadjutor, archdeaconry trustees and Standing Committee, been recently incorporated and organized as a parish under the

name of St. Simeon's church. The Rev. Ralph Jarvis Walker, who has been the missionary-in-charge for some years, was elected rector, and Messrs. Robert A. Tighe and Herbert Martin, churchwardens. This new parish still occupies rented quarters, but it has a choice building site presented by Mr. A. Newbold Morris and Mr. Wm. Waldorf Astor, at Sheridan avenue and Onehundred and sixty-fourth and Onehundred-and-sixty-fifth streets, and it has also an assured building fund which will go far toward the construction of the new church edifice already planned.

A piece of property has been purchased adjoining that upon which St. Philip's (colored) church, Brooklyn, L. I., stands, and it is now felt that the plot, about 80 by 120, is large enough for the plant it is intended to erect.

The rector of the Church of the Holy Innocents, Albany, N. Y., the Rev. A. S. Ashley, recently urged upon his congregation the necessity of a parish house for carrying on the growing work of the church. He based his belief upon the possibility of erecting such a building upon the fact that during the past two years the parish had shown progress in every sort of activity. communicants had increased, as had the contributions for diocesan and general missions, and a mortgage of $1,500 on the rectory had been paid.

The new parish house of St. Mark's church, Buffalo (Western New York), the Rev. N. W. Stanton, rector, was recently opened by Bishop Walker. Mr. Alfred H. White, the chairman of the

Chapel in the Crypt of St. James's Church, Hammondsport, N. Y.

building committee, stated that the building cost but $1,700, on which there remains a debt of $600. It is a frame structure, 56 by 24 feet, and gives accommodations for Sundayschool purposes and assemblies in the large room on the first floor and a kitchen, pantry and good-sized diningroom on the upper floor. A chapel has recently been constructed in the crypt of St. James's church, Hammondsport. The front of the altar, the reredos and the screen work on both sides are portions of the walnut Communion rail of Holy Trinity, Brooklyn, which the Rev. Dr. S. D. McConnell presented to the Rev. F. W. Burge, of Hammondsport, when the chancel was remodelled. This woodwork is only loaned to St. James's, the chapel being so arranged as to be complete without it.

The plan for the enlargement of the Chapel of St. Peter's, Clifton, N. J. (diocese of Newark), has been made to provide a Sunday-school and guild room for the growing mission. The opening of the church-restored after the fire at Pompton was fixed for Feb. 11. The bishop asked the Sunday-school children of the diocese for one cent per week in Advent for the church approaching completion at Millington, and so far $350 have been received. St. James's, Newark, is completed and The new rectory of whom the parish gives abundant signs occupied by the Rev. Mr. Bate, under of new life.

The parish rooms of St. Paul's church, Boston, Mass., are now accessible from Tremont street. The large store which has leased the rear of the church property has built an arcade by means of which the rooms may be reached at all times. The mission at Mansfield, the Rev. James L. Tryon in charge, has been enabled to pay the whole cost of a lot valued at $1,000 and to reserve a small balance toward a building fund. At Attleboro, the Rev. Mr. Tryon has been influential in erecting a substantial chapel. The debt on this building, which amounted to some $2,000, was by a single effort reduced one-half, townsmen of almost all the Churches coming to the aid of the mission. At Lawrence, a building has

recently been opened which will be used as a church and parish house for the present work in the southern section of this manufacturing city. An altar and cross have been given by Mrs. A. H. Avery to be placed in the future church. The services in this mission house, which is dedicated to St. Augustine, will be in charge of the clergy of Grace church, Lawrence.

from the hall; on opposite sides of the entrance corridor are a library and a club room. The rector, the Rev. William Pressey, to whose efforts the building is largely due, presided at the dedicatory service, when addresses were made by the Rev. Lester Bradner, Jr., Ph.D., and Colonel William Goddard.

The foundations have been completed for the summer chapel at Fortune's Rocks, Me., and the work on the superstructure has been begun. It is expected that the chapel will be ready for use this coming summer.

The new chapel and parish house of Trinity church, Pittsburg, Penn., was formally set apart and opened to the public on St. Paul's Day, which has been marked by many important events in the parish's history. Preceded by the vested choir, Bishops Whitehead and Scarborough and the parish clergy entered the chapel; where, after the benediction of the new baptismal font and altar, shortened Evening Prayer was said by the rector's assistant, the Rev. L. W. Shey, the lessons being read by the rector, the Rev. Dr. A. W. Arundel, who assumed charge of the parish in 1891. After addresses by Bishop Whitehead and the Bishop of New Jersey, the choir, the clergy and congregation passed from room to room in the parish house, where suitable hymns were sung and prayers said. At the public reception in the evening brief addresses were made by the bishops present, the Rev. E. H. Ward, the Rev. Dr. S. E. Young, of the Second Presbyterian urch, the Rev. R. W. Patton, Judge Buffington, president of Kingsley House, and Mr. W. A. Cornelius, president of the Local Assembly of the Brotherhood and the senior warden, Mr. S. C. McCandless. In closing the meeting, the rector thanked those whose co-operation had made the buildings possible, and said the real meaning of the parish house was a desire to share in meeting in Pittsburg the deeper sense of social responsibility brought about by the larger conception of Christian discipleship. The new chapel, which seats 200, has an altar, reredos, communion rail the gift of Mr. H. Lee Mason, stands at and lecturn of oak; and a marble font, the entrance. The parish house in its three stories and basement contains a gymnasium, Sunday-school rooms, rector's study and accommodations for the many parish organizations. The entire cost of the buildings was about $70,000.

A fund has been started for a rectory for the House of Prayer, Branchtown, Philadelphia, which was begun by Bishop Morris in 1858, when he was an assistant-minister at St. Luke's church, Germantown. By reason of the trolley facilities, building operations in the neighborhood are being planned.

The fund for the new church at South Evanston, Ill. (diocese of Chicago), is progressing steadily. Offerings on Christmas Day amounted to $631, and a member of the committee in charge has received nearly $1,000 more in cash and pledges. An effort is being made to raise $10,000 by Easter Day, and building certificates, payable in ten semi-an

nual instalments, are being issued to the parishioners. Ground was broken for the new Church of the Advent on Humboldt Boulevard, Chicago, early in December. The church will be of brick, and will probably be finished by June 1.

The Bishop of Indianapolis recently announced that Mr. George McCulloch, a vestryman of Grace church, Muncie, Ind., had offered to build a new church and such other buildings as were necessary for parish purposes in memory of his mother and wife, who had recently died. Muncie is a city of 30,000 people and has a steady growth. The Church has never been properly represented in the community, having only a small frame building, though the parish has for years been one of the most faithful in the diocese. The bishop explained that the proposed buildings would

The Church of the Holy Communion, once one of the strongest churches in St. Louis, Mo., is now in the midst of a tenement population. Under the present rector, the Rev. Charles F. Blaisdell, and his curate, the Rev. L. R. Vercoe, the spiritual and social activities of the parish were never more vigorous, and the necessity of a parish house has become evident. A lot has been purchased adjoining the church, and $14,000 is already in hand or pledged. The entire plant will probably cost $20,000.

The general missionary of the district of Salina, who has been in charge of the parish at Goodland, reports that $1,200 has been raised for a rectory. Goodland is a fast growing town, being a division point of the Rock Island Railroad. The Rev. P. A. Brunner entered upon his duties as resident priest early in February. At Wakeeney a new church has been built under the direction of the Rev. J. H. Lee, of the diocese of Kansas, who comes each month to serve there. The chancel has been furnished and everything is entirely paid for. The congregation as yet has no pews. At Concordia a valuable lot as a site for the church and rectory has been purchased.

Bids have been advertised for building an eight-roomed stone rectory for St. Mark's parish, Anaconda, Mont. St. Luke's mission, Billings, under the Rev. J. J. Bowker, is making splendid progress. Two years ago a $4,000 rectory was built, and at present a brick church to cost approximately $10,000 is well under way.

Late in September fire badly damaged the frame church at Enid, Okla. With the insurance money and some $50 additional the property has been restored, and in the repairs much improved. At Chickasha, I. T., under the Rev. C. W. Cook, an excellent rectory has recently been bought, enlarged, improved and paid for. At Muskogee, the largest town in Indian Territory, a new church, valued with its lot at $13,000, has been opened for service. The building takes the place of the little chapel built in 1894, and was much needed in the great growth of this important parish. The church is of white stone and shingles, with large chancel, vestry and choir rooms, and will seat 300 people. The Rev. A. B. Perry is the rector. At Tulsa, I. T., a rapidly growing town in the oil and gas fields, there is a new church, seating 200, built of stone and brick veneer, with open roof and large chancel. This economically constructed church reflects credit on the ministerin-charge, the Rev. R. D. Baldwin, and his assisting committee. This is a new mission practically opened up within the year.

Gifts to St. Paul's, Muskegon, Mich. St. Paul's, Muskegon, has received as a thank-offering from a parishioner a marble and mosaic altar with altar steps and sanctuary floor in marble, designed by Mr. Frederick Lamb, and executed by Messrs. J. & R. Lamb. Cararra and the finest grades of Vermont marbles were used in the altar and altar steps, while the altar front has three panels of mosaic work with rich backgrounds of Venetian gold. Services of consecration were held on Sunday, Jan. 28, Bishop Gillespie preaching in the morning and the Rev. Dr. McCorthe mick, bishop coadjutor-elect, in The first offerings laid on evening. the new altar by the congregation were for missions, and amounted to nearly

Bishop Woodcock's First Year
in Kentucky.

On the Fourth Sunday after Epiphany Bishop Woodcock completed his first year of service in the diocese of Kentucky. On that day he preached his anniversary sermon at Christ church cathedral, Louisville, to a large congregation. He spoke very touchingly of the

generous welcome which from the first had been given him by the people of the

state, and of the liberal response they had made to his appeals for service and for funds to carry on the work of the In a few words of response Church. Dean Craik said if the bishop had found a willing people it was because in him they had found a willing leader, a man who had never. asked his people to do a thing unless he had taken the first step to lead them.

The Work of Grace Church,
New York City.

Grace church, New York, shows that the The just-published Year Book of parish contributions for the year amounted to no less than $160,080.13, parochial objects, and $74,660.75 to "exof which $84,019.24 were devoted to ternal objects," most of them not so very external, for the larger part of this sum was applied to various missionary enterprises within the diocese; $34,216.83, the largest item, went to the School for Deaconesses; $6,100 to Bishop Greer's Church Extension Fund; $3,124.65 to hospitals. For domestic missions the parish gave $6,711, and for foreign missions $1,343.47. There was contributed to the Armstrong Memorial in Hawaii $7,012.98, and to Dr. Woodward's hospital in Gankin $2,500. The special reports of the twelve depart

ments into which the work of the parish is divided show a remarkably varied and efficient activity, especially among the Italians. The directly religious statistics of the parish may seem a little surprising. In Grace church there were 43 baptisms during the year; in Grace chapel there were 114; but then there were 122 marriages in Grace church and only 54 in Grace chapel. In Grace church there were 28 confirmations; in In the chantry SunGrace chapel, 77. day-school there were 12 teachers and 60 pupils; in Grace chapel, 63 teachers and 846 pupils; in Grace church there were 46 burials; in Grace chapel, 84.

"The Outlook for Religion in America," Discussed by the Rhode Island Churchmen's Club.

At the meeting of the Churchmen's Club, at the Eloise, Providence, on Feb. 6, the president, Professor Wilfred H. Munro, presiding, the Rev. Dr. Elwood Worcester, of Emmanuel church, Boston, Mass., described the difficulties the Church at the present day confronts in the short portion of the year people now spend in the city; in the changing conditions of the city's population, which often cause a wealthy neighborhood to become a poor one; and the secularization of Sunday in the summer colonies. Whatever weaknesses the Church has are fully realized. by the clergy, and they are removed, not by criticism, but by united work. The Church of the future will be one of workers. Religion is in no danger among a progressive people. Humanity requires it. The Rev. Samuel McComb, as the next speaker, outlined as the discouraging features the alienation of the working and of the intellectual classes. He saw encouragement, however, in the simplification of doctrine, the increased attention to historical theology, and the increased irenic force which is drawing religious bodies into federation. Bishop McVickar closed with a forcible presentation of the outlook for religion as unquestionably ight, with very few grounds for discouragement.

Consecration of St. Paul's Church,
Watertown, N. Y.

The Bishop of Central New York consecrated St. Paul's church, Watertown, on the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. The instrument of donation was presented by the senior warden, Mr. James L.

Necrology.

REV. THEODORE I. HOLCOMBE.

In the death of the Rev. Theodore I. Holcombe, one of the older clergy of the diocese of Newark has been removed. He died Feb. 4, having just passed his seventy-fourth birthday. He was graduated from Nashotah in 1858, and most of his ministry was spent in the West. His last parish was in Milburn, N. J., some ten years ago. He was deeply interested in provision for the aged clergy. The funeral service, in the chapel at West Point on Feb. 8, was attended by Bishop Lines, Archdeacon Thomas, the Rev. Mr. Van Ingen and the Rev. Mr. Travers, Chaplain of the Post. Mr. Holcombe died at West Point and his body rests in the cemetery there. Among his writings will be remembered the life of our great missionary, Dr. Breck.

REV. REYNOLD MARVIN KIRBY, S.T.D. The Rev. Dr. R. M. Kirby, who died suddenly at his home in Potsdam, N. Y., on Feb. 5, was born sixty-two years ago at Brownville, N. Y. He was a grandson of General Jacob Brown, and a son of Edmund Kirby, U.S.A. He was educated at Hobart College and the General Theological Seminary, and

was ordained to the diaconate in 1869 by Bishop Coxe, who, in the year fol

lowing, advanced him to the priesthood. His first charge was at Christ church, Albion, N. Y., which he left in 1871 to become assistant in St. Mark's church, Salt Lake City. A few years later he was elected Bishop of Utah, but declined the election. Twenty-four years ago he became rector of Trinity church, Potsdam, where he has filled one of the longest and most fruitful pastorates in the diocese of Albany. Since 1897 he has been Archdeacon of Ogdensburg. He was well a priest, godly and learned; he was a pastor faithful and devoted; he was a man of rarely balanced qualities of mind and heart. With a clearness and directness and decisiveness of judgment, he combined a very tender personal sympathy, which drew him to a warm appreciation of the difficulties and struggles of the mismade sions in his archdeaconry, and him the helper and adviser of the clergy, and the wise adjuster of the problems which constantly occur in the conditions of scattered stations in the great field of the northern counties of the diocese.

The funeral services were conducted in his parish church on Feb. 8, by the Bishop Coadjutor of Albany, the Rev. E. L. Sanford, of Ogdensburg, the Rev. W. C. Prout, secretary of the diocese, and fourteen other clergymen being present. The business in the village was practically suspended; the faculties of the Normal School and the School of Technology were present as well as many friends from distant points. The burial was in Geneva.

IN MEMORIAM.
JANE E. WALBRIDGE.

Death has turned another leaf, and shut between the pages of "the book of life" the name of Jane E. Walbridge.

Mrs. Walbridge, wife of the Rev. Dr. Henry B. Walbridge, died at her residence, No. 215 Carroll street, Brooklyn, L. I.. on Saturday, Feb. 10, 1906, and was buried in Hillside Cemetery, Plainfield, N. J. The funeral services were held in St. Martin's church, Brooklyn, Father She left two sons, Edward Davis officiating. Bronson, of Hamilton, O., and Robert Hunt Walbridge, who resided with his mother, and Mary Bronson, wife of Theodore E. Leeds, of New York. She was a gem of womanhood among a thousand, a rare original from God's own laboratory.

In a quiet, unobtrusive way she impressed her restful personality on those who came to her in trouble, and from her example they gathered strength to bear their burdens. Her sympathy did not exhaust itself in selected lip phrases. The poor, the weary, and the heavy laden, were helped and encouraged by deeds done for them, and in their behalf, by the untiring gentlewoman now at peace, The struggle of life seemed half won with her as the standard bearer. She forgot self in efforts to rouse the disheartened to renewed endeavors, the sinful to a better life, the fortunate to well doing, and the Christian to acts of charity and love. She believed in humanity and the latent good in the soul of man, and her words of cheer were as sweetly spoken, and the helping hand as freely extended to those who stumbled often, as to those who heeded her gracious admonitions at their first falterings. "Seventy times seven," she would whisper to herself; seventy times seven!

She loved to praise, but had no voice to blame. An unkind word she never uttered, and it troubled her to hear one spoken in her presence. A kindness she never forgot; ingratitude she silently ignored, but hypocrisy awakened her profound contempt. Such sorrow as came

into her life she accepted with quiet resignation, and kept straight on in the path of duty. If she suffered none knew it, save her God. On Him she leaned with an unfaltering trust. To Him, and Him alone, she told her secrets.

Mrs. Walbridge, until within a short time of her death, was active in the work of her church, and in many practical charities, and was particularly influential among the children of the poor. She was a prominent member of the Church Charity Foundation of Brooklyn, the Sheltering Arms Nursery, and of other charitable organizations of that city. She will be missed. by her associates and fellow-workers, for she was wise in council, energetic in action, practical in purpose, patient in difficulties, prudent, sympathetic and sincere.
