THE ASCENSION CHURCH TROUBLE. A Statement by Messrs. McCammon and Pratt, Vestrymen. WHAT THE PRESENT RECTOR HAS DONE FOR ADVANCEMENT OF THE CHURCH INTER- ESTs. . Actatement has just been issued by Messrs. Joseph K. McCammon and A. & Pratt, vestry- mem of Ascension church, in reference to the Pending controversy in that church in relation to the rector, Rev. J, H. Eiliott, in which they say that this is not a question between the clergy and laity, as the large majority of the Pew-holders (104 out of 124, exclusive of the vestry), with s minority of the vestry and every one of the many organizations in the Pariah are on the side of the rector. THE FINANCES OF THE PARISH. A statement {s given of the total contribu- tions for a number of years before January, 1878,when Dr. Elliot came to the church as as- soclate rector, and foreach year since that date. ‘The grand total for thirteen years betare Dr. Eillott came to the church was $40,025.09, and. the grand total for the thirteen y: of his ser. vice at the church, $274,499.58, ‘The total con- tributions for last year’ were $30,033.35, the largest amount reported by any parish in the diocese apart trom the clergyman’s salary. Bishop Pinkney, writing to the Rev. Dr. Hulght, of New York, in November or ‘Decem- ber, 1872, and asking him to recommend asult- able person as assistant, says of the condition of the parish: “To endeavor to save Ascension, I found it necessary to consent to give them all of my Test if they would give me an ablo as BISHOP PINKNEY'S OPINION. In his annual address to the convention of the diocease, read May 27th, 1874, Bishop Pinkney spoke thus of his associate, the present rector of the parish: “ Under the very wise and energetic administration of the assistant reo- tor, the Rev. Dr. Elliott, the new church 1s pro- gressing finely. His many great qualities of mind and heart ft him most eminently foran enterprise so vast in its proportions. His pres: ence is felt, to be a power; and the love we bear him is that of father tor his son, and son’s for more worthy father. His steady courage has stimulated the congregation when the heart of the boldest was waxing faint, while his stirring eloquence rang the charge diong the line, ‘Let us rise up and build.’ A congregation never re- sponded more nobiy to the loving heart of a pastor, or gave more freely of thelr substance. The credit of the work 1s due to him; and it gives me unqualified pleasure to make this pub- lic acknowledgment of the fact. I owe him gratetul love for his sympathy; and I rejoice to know that he far more than supplies my defiel- encies and lack of labor.” In 1881 the bishop sald to the convention, referring to Ascension: “This parish basreduced 1t8 debt and the interest on the mortgage. It Pill soon own a very neat parsonage with Goly $27,000 ‘to wipe ‘out. (Some flouting debt Omitted irom “his statement.) When it is Temembered that when this is paid $180,000 will have been raised and pald in a few years, we shall see that a bright record has been made through the energy and wise administtration Of its glited associuie rector, Rev. Dr. Elliott,” SELF-DENYING LABORS OF TRE RECTOR. Figures are given showing the rapid reduc- tion of the debt under Dr. Elliott's rectorship, and the bishop is quoted as saying in his con- vention address of the reduction between 1878 and 1883: This congregation has paid In the last few months $20,000 on its mortgage. Noth- ing more need be suid of the self-denying labors of its accomplished and most uble assistant rector. ‘As to the reduction in 1885, the Ladies’ asso- ciation, themselves very uctive in tne work, passed resolutions of thunks to Dr. Elliott “ior his faithful and unremitting exertions in be- halfof this parish, more purticularly as con- nected with the extinguishment o1 tbe debt.” It seems incredible, Messrs, Pratt and McCam- mon say, that lack of financial success should be charged against the rector. ‘The income of the chureh tor the last year Was $7,818.38, the largest in the chureh’s history, and the recéipts for ine last quarter, $2,143.18, the largest lor any quarter, ‘The growth of the parish in com- municants has besn from 280 in 1873 to 659 in 1885, THE WORK IN THE PARISH. The paper then shows the number of new orgunizations introduced by Dr, Elliott. He found the ludies’ association and the Pinkney scholarship already existing. Under theladies’ assoclution he hus organized the relief comuit- tee, the decoration comumitice, the industrial School, missionary committee, mothers’ mis- sion, und commitiee on church furniture and grounds. He hus organized St, Mark's Friendly Teague, for young people, with a membership Of 157, divided into tne chapters of Faith, Mercy, Praise, Charity, Perseverance, Weleom Hope,’ Knowledge. “‘Yotal amount’ of work, $1,081.97. He uus also organized the mission io deuf mutes, the Girls’ Frieudly society, aud added to the parish St, Peter's mission 8. 5, tor colored children, and the society for interces- sory prayer. Fucts are given toshow in what estimation the rector is held outside the parish, and the statement conciudes: “How can we belter char- acterize the administration of our present rec tor thun by inviting close scrutiny of tne facts bearing upon the past and present condition of the purisu as we nave set them forth? They show an extraordinary degree of faithfulness in the spiritual minisifations of the church, a rapid financial progress unequalled for the Same nuinber of yeurs in the divcese, a steady growth of the pris and an awakening and Vitalization of the parish interests, For this spiritualund materiul success the rector hus been asked to resign by a majority of the vestry, and subsequently resviations were introduced ata vestry meeting which threatened him with dismissal.” ———+-o+-_____ The Tariff Bill PROBABILITY OF 17S PASSAGE BY A CLOSE VOTE IN THK HOUSE, It ts generally believed in the House that the vote on the tariff bill will be much closer than it was in the last Congress and that the chances are in favor of the bill, It is probable that Ran- dali cannot get a following of more than 22 on the democratic side. He can rely upon all the Ohio democrats, which will give him ten to start witn, He will probably get four besides himself trom Pennsylvania, one trom New Jersey, one frou Culifornia, three from West Virginia, one from New York, one in Maryland, Tis would be enough to defeat the bill if the republicans voted solidly. But it is con- ceeded by republicans that at least two or three Of thelr party will vote for the bill. ‘This would bring the question down ta matter of one or two votes, ‘Lug reormers rely largely upon the efforts of woulen manufacturers wo force their represen tatives w vole for tree wool, and It ts possible that more votes will be uffected in this way tuan protectionists now think possible. ‘The outlook is tora very close vote, with a Jeautng in iavor of the passage of the bill, but the seutitent is llabie to cuange one way oF the otberat any time during the debate, Now it Seeuis a8 it 8 motion to strike out the enacting Clause Would be beaten, a Arraignments 1 Court.
