Tears filled the eves of the applicants as they thankfully accepted the donation, and with those tears came smiles of assurance that they had not been entire!; forsaken, Then, with a bow as quiet as it wan graceful, they glided ont of the courtroom—naturally and as self- Possersed as if they were walking on rich carpetings in & home that was once, doubtless, very pleasant to tuem.

THE RETURN OF BISHOP POTTER, Thenksgiving Meeting ef the Clergy at € Trinity pel=The Reverend Account of the Pan-Anglican Connell Trinity chapel, corner of Twenty-filth street Fifth avenue, was crowded yesterday, between the hours of twelve and two o'clock, with an assemblage of the clergy and laity of the diocese to give thanks for Bishop Pot- ter’s eafe returu io his charge, after @ three moaths’ absence in Europe. After an istroductory praver the devotional service was read by the Rev. Dr. Dix, the Pastor of Trinity chapel, assisted by the Rev, Dra Surpe and Littdejoba, y ‘The Bishop then directed Dr. Morgan to road the closing Prayer and charge of the Pan-Anglican Synod, which enjoins all the clergy of the Protestant faith to be care- ful in their ministry and avoid such davgers as innova- tlons from and unwarranted additions to the original Sree os et antes the prelate urn, was then reed by Dt. Sexe mour, and jate’o = bis ‘was alg0 a second address from ‘of the General Theological Seuinary Polter' then reptied to both the addresses in a Of some length, in the course of which hoe commented on the mod and Church Ss rocently beld in England, alzo related some of bis own per- sonal remin' when on his tour tarough that coun- try, and of the invidents in connection with the Synod. The prelate sald:—It would not be difficult forme to address you spontancously and at very great length after the affectionate and cheering sympathy expressed in the addrosses presented to me by the pastors and brother workers of my own diocese and by the faculty and stu- dents of the General Theological Seminary. I never thought of domg otherwise; but last night I was led to consider the matter differentiy, as I could not trust my memory and look on ali rhetorical display with the ut- mort distai Thinking it beat both for you and for myself. t! fore, I have written down a fow thoughis and observations which I will mow read, I[ have beon «0 bappy, my beloved brethren, (to return home to my friends and my dioceses and my dear country, and I thought my happiness to bo complete; but the welcome and sympathy you have now extended to me have caused my cup of joy to overflow. I needed not this assurance of your friendship and sym- pathy, for you have already given me abundant testi- mony of your love and respect, All I can now say is that you have sent unspeakable comfort to the heart of your bishop, The right reverend gentleman then went on to explain bis reasons for going to Europe at all; it had been no pleasure tour on his part; he had gone simply as a matter of duly towards those wnom he had under his charge, and on the first receipt of the Arch- bishop of Canterbury's invitation to the Pan-Anglican Synod he tad been tompted to send a refusal; but he had at length determined to accept the invitation, and ho was glad.that he had done so, Outside parties’ who did pot understand the reason for {bis conferences of the bishops and clergy of the English Church had been tempted to deride it, and expected that some great thing was to proceed from it; he, however, thought that if it only succeeded in silencing strife among the members and putting the whole establishment of the Church on a more barmoaious footing, it would have achieved much more than in merely carrying out one fixed ida. The Synod was one of the greatest congresses of tho Church ever held. Bishops were there from New Zealand, from Melboyrne, from Nubia, from the .ape—trom America, too, he was happy to state; and the only one who had deen excluded was the heretical Bishop of Natal, Doctor Colenso—no less than soventy-six bishops, all united in holy and harmonious conclave. Through all these events there was the most perfect peaco and concord, There was debate, certainly, but tho d'scussion3s were conducted in an’ orderly, ‘gentlemanly manner, and many of those who disputed the most were. perhaps, the Armest of friends, Bishop Potter then related a sory of a lady belonging to one of the re- livious orders. visiting and nursing one of the Bishop of Lichteld’s daughter when dangerously iM, and be took the opportunity of remarking that ne thought there was no barm in such soceties being formod by those who had no ties to connect them with the world save the common tie of humanity, He was much feared also a resolution introduced and carne at the Conference that al! of the English chaplains abroad should pray for the President of the United States as wel! as tor the Queen; and such an order will jo future be included tn the regular litany servics, It was thirty years sinco be had last been 10 Encland, and be must say there was a marked improvement in the Chureb ; and here he wonld wish to correct a great error on the aubjectof the English Church, It was quite a mistake to suppose that the generality of the livings in the hands of ‘younger sons’’ who took orders merely for temporal subsistence. On the contrar; dreds of English noblemen and the cross simply from the lov and built churches and school boures, and cslerated wor- ship often entirely at their own expense, Tho order and demeanor, too, of the palacial residences and ret nue of the English Bishops pleased him grostly, all were so y religious and homelike, He could not give 1m (detail all that had been done in the Synod; but tte roceedings will shortly be published. He believed it Baa done much good to eradicate evil and strengthen the true faith; and all that he had learned—and be had learned much—sbould be given to bis Masier'e sorvice.
