19, Delahay-street, S.W. NASSAU Worcester College, Oxford. KOCKHAMPTON St. Peter's Rectory, Walworth, S.E. Tho Archbishop of Dublin, writing to the Irish Ecclesiastical Gazette on tho Archbishop of Canterbury's approaching visit to Ireland, readers, one and all, will, I am sure.

la glad to leavn officially that tho Archbishop of Canterbury has kindly promised to visit Ireland, (Jod willing, during tho last fortnight of September, and to preach upon the occasion of the reopening of the cathedral of St. Brigidin Kildare on the 22nd of that month. Tho arrangements that have been so far made, with a view to his Grace's visit, are as follows. Upon the after noon of Saturday, September a public meeting will be held in Dublin on behalf of the Kildaro Cathedral Restoration Fund, at which tho Archbishop has promised to speak. Representatives from other branches of tho Anglican communion will, it is hoped, also address the meeting.

Upon tho next day (Sunday, September 20th) the Archbishop will plead tho saim cause in St. Patrick's Cathedral at the afternoon service; and on the following Tuesday, as 1 have already stated, he will occupy tho pulpit of St. Brigid's Cathedral in Kildare. In prospect of the Archbishop's visit, many prayers will, 1 trust, he offered up that so wolcome an event may tend to knit more' closely even than before tho ties that link together our sister Churches in holy bonds; and that in many other ways this opportunity for mutual co-operation and converse may be fraught with blessing to us all. I have only to add tho expression of an earnest hope that this event will also be signalised a vigorous and united effort to clear off the smal of debt (now only 1.000L) by which tho restoration fund is ntill burdened.

Whan it is remembered that ot the which the work of renovation has cost, at least nine-tenths have been contributed by the Churchmen of Kildare alone, and when if. is borne in mind that the restoration of this ancient fane bequeathed to us as an heritage from the past, and witnessing as it does, to tho historic continuity of our an ovent which affects tho honour of our Church at largo, many, not only within the diocese of Kildare, butoutti lo its boundaries as veil, will, I trust, he found willing to join in the effort to which 1 have referred. Confident in such a hope, 1 would urgently i a vile the clergy of this united diocese to regard Sunday S'ptcuilicr 20th, as a Kildare Cathedral Restoration Sunday ami to advocate from their respective pulpits the same cause which will bo pleaded by tho Archbishop in St. Patrick's ithedral upon that day." Tho Gazette understands that tho Archbishop of Canterbury will, bo the guest of the Primate at Ihe Palace, Armagh, after his visit to Dublin, and on his way northward will stay with Lord Macnagliten. The Hishop of London announces that ho makes no engage merits during August.

The Hishop of Stepney expects to be in Switzerland for the rest of tho month. Trie liis'hop of Winchester leaves Farnham about tho 18th and will be absent from tho diocese for some weeks Mters on urgent business may bo addressed to tho Rev. the ciplaiii, Paniham Castle. Tho Hishop of Southampton r-quests that all communications for him for August may be auMrossed, Shorburn Hall, Durham. Hishop of Lincoln will bo away from Lincoln during the month of August.

The Hishop of Liverpool arrived at Lowestoft on Thursday. iring his absence from his diocese, which will last for six wo-lis, all communications relating to business should be a bin ssed to the registry office, Lord-street, Liverpool. The Hishop of Rochester will lie away during August, but nil b't'et-s addressed to him at Bishop's House. Konninglon Park, will have attonfiou. The Hishop of Southwark will bo in i 'sidonci! at Dartmouth Hlackhoal li, most of the Kuinmor until October, hut he will probably bo a way from home alter tho first week of that month until the middle of November.

Too Dean of Westminster is leaving town for some weeks, be.tors on Abbey business should be addressed to 1 ho Canon- m-rosidence. Archdeacon Thornton will bo from homo during tho present Letters may bo sent to the Rev. A. II. James, 32, Portland-road, The Kentish Gazette says that on Sunday morning week Professor Mason entered upon his first term of residence as a Canon of Canterbury Cathedral.

There was a crowded congre- gdion, and the preacher addressed himself especially to tho ng's scholars who left school last week and the archa-ologists Msiting Canterbury. He also made an eloquent appeal on behalf of the diocesan schools, tu which the offoitory was devoted. The Irisli Ecclesiastical Gazette says that the appointment of uuin Olphert, rector of Urney, to the archdeaconry of Deny, vacant by the death of the Ven. K. Hamilton, will 1 highly popular throughout the united diocese.

He is one of oldest clergymen in the diocese, having entered it as far- hack as the year 1814. 'Taking his DA. d( greo in 1840 and his Divinity Testimonium in tho following year, tho new Archdeacon in 1868 received tho degree of Master of Arts. IIo was darned in 1842, and admitted to the priesthood the following year. His first charge was Lower Moville, which ho hold from until 1809.

and in which his son, tho Rev. John Olphert, is. In 18(56 he was appointed chaplain to the Lord Lieutenant. In 1R00 he received tho parish of Kilren, whero he until 1872, when ho became rector of his present Pu-rah of Urney. Prom 1880 to 1882 he had a chaplaincy at lurin.

He is senior Canon of Derry Cathedral and Rural Dean "I Castlederg. "It is therefore on a clergyman of oM con- fehoral, consisted of love" and God ieacon Yeoman. As wedding march was they received the entertained at a if the vicar and his nectron with the diocese, and who adds to his rirje experience the high quality of courtliness, that the distinctron has been bestowed. Archdeacon Olphert's brother was the lato Mr. Wybrants Olphert, D.L., of Ballyconnell House, Falcarragh, and his nephew is Mr.

John Olphert, D.L., the gentleman usher in the household of the Lord Lieutenant." The Churchwoman states that Canon and Mrs. Rawjmson recently celebrated their golden wedding, and in consflquence were the recipients of a large number of congwfitulatory messages and valuable presents. On the occasion tliey gave a garden party in the grounds of their residence Canterbury Precincts, a considerable number of tho leading residents in the neighbourhood receiving invitations The golden wedding anniversary of the vieifr of Wilton-in- Cleveland (the Rev. J. McCartie) and Mrs.

MeCartie was celebrated on Thursday and Friday week. Mr. and Mrs. McCartie were married at Mynpuri, N.W.P., on July 22nd, 1846, when Mr. McCartie was lieutenant in the 53rd The parishioners of Wilton, where the vicar and his laboured for nearly twelve years, joined heartily in they celebration of the interesting occasion.

On Thursday a service was held at the parish church, which had been tastefully decorated by parishioners. The service, which was shortened evensong, the hymns, "0 of Bethel," and a short address by Arch tho vicar and his wife left the church played, and subsequently, at the vicara, congratulations of their friends, whom party. At tho close the healths wifo wore proposod by tho Rev. F. H.

Morgan, rector of Guisborough. A numerous collection of valuable presents were on view. On Friday the vicar gave a tea to some eighty Sunday- school children. In tho evening, the choir, teachers, and members of the Mothers' Prayer Union, to the number of sixty, were entertained to tea in the schoolroom, and afterwards a couple of pleasant hours wore spent in the vicarage grounds. The Daily Chronicle says that Canon Jessopp, who recently 'succumbed to the craze for cycling," has sustaineda fall from his machine, which has compelled him to cancel many of his numerous public engagements.

The Record regrets to learn that the health of tho Rev. J. H. Scott, rector and Rural Dean of Spitalfields, has completely broken down, and that he has been compelled to rosign the living. "Tho caro of the larger East-end parishes involves most serious responsibilities, and the day-by-day worries and anxieties try even the strongest of men.

It is generally believed that it was his work at Spitalfields which undermined the constitution of the Hishop of Bedford, and now his successor, aftoran eight years' incumbency there, is suffering severely from the strain. Facts like theso raise issues of wide import. It is a serious question whether tho ordinary parochial system of the Church of England is adapted for such parishos. The population is not only largo and poor, but it presents features of difficulty which are only to be found at tho East-end. Then again, there is the question of linanco.

It is generally understood that to successfully work a parish like that of Spitalfields it is necessary to raiso between and every year. This is an intolerable burden to bo placed on the shoulders of tho incrrnibent, and must of necessity weaken his powers for a more directly spiiitual work. It is not easy to suggest a remedy, but the problem ought to bo faced by tho authorities, and that speedily." The Rev. 11. N.

Thompson writes to tho Church Times that is no truth in tho statement that ho has boon appointed chaplain to Lord Halifax. The fjondon Diocesan Magazine states that the Bishop of Stepney wishes it to bo known that tho Rev. R. White, ordained deacon in Canada, has not permission to officiate in the diocese of London, and must not bo allowed to take occasional duty. The Manchester Guardian states that the Rev.

If. T. F. Duckworth, who for several years has tilled tho post of curate at St. Helen's, Witton (Northwich), will shortly leave for Cyprus, his mission being to acquire knowledge and experience of the administration, life, and influence of tho Greek Church in tho island, and also to assist in work among tho English residents and in tho higher schools.

The sphere of work of Miss V. Von Himpe, L.S.A., M.D. is not yet definitely fixed. A meeting of(theeonimitfoo of the Archbishop's Mission to the Assyrian Christians was held at theChurch House on Thursday.

Tho Archbishop of Canterbury was in the chair, and there were also present Jeneral Sir F. J. Goldsmid, Sir T. C. Hope, General K.

Further partieu HIS respecting the massacre of Mar Gauriel (Hishop of llrmi), Donkha, and their companions were received. It appears that the fourteen in all. went, from lirmi, in visit.tho Mattan (or Metropolitan) in Noehoa, just within the borders of Turkey, and they stayed with him about a week. On thoir way there they called on a Kurdish Sheikh, known as "the Son of the Sheikh," as his father had been a notorious brigand who had attacked the city of Urmi some fifteen years ago. Ho happened to bo away when the party called on him, but ho called on them at tho Matran's house a tew days afterwards, and, although ho refused to "eat bread" with them, ho invited them to visit him on their way back to Urmi.

It seems they had some suspicions, but it was impossible to decline the invitation to partake of his hospitality. They, therefore, visited him, remaining one night as his guest. The next day ho sent (hem a.wa.v wifli an escort of seven persons, and it appears that when hey reached a valley about a mile on tho Persian side of the frontier they found a further parly of wenty persons await ing hem, and on thin spot the whole of tho fourteen Christians, with tho exception of two who seem to have escaped, were stripped, brutally murdered, and the bodies mutilated in a most horrible and inhuman manner. Directly this massacre was reported by telegraph to Hngland on July 1st, the Foreign-office was communicated with, since that date, every possible step has been taken to secure the murderers and to protect tho Mattan at Nochea and the Patriarch (Mar Shimun) and his people, including one English missionary, at Kochanes The Governor of Persian promised to do all in his power; and tho Grand Vizier at Constantinople has telegraphed orders that protection is at once to be given to the Patriarch and all at Kochanes. There is every reason to beliove that both tho Governments of the Shah and tho Sultan mean to do their best; but the difficulty of tracing out the murderers and bringing them to justice is undoubtedly very great.

This outrage on theso inoffensive Christians is a terrible blow to this small community. The visit to tho Matran was on purely ecclebiasticul questions affecting their own Church, and had not the remotest connection with politics. London Junior Clergy Missionary Association, in con- neranon with S.P.G., in addition to the great evening meetings Hall, are organising a missionary service to bo held, with the cordialypermission of the Dean and Chapter, in St. Paul's Cathedral, in the week fixed by Convocation for the Day of Intercession on behalf of foreign Missions. The Exeter Hall meeting is fixed for Thursday, November 26th, and tho service in St.

Paul's on the following Thursday evening (December 3rd). At the last monthly meeting of the association the chairman (the Rev. F. W. Isaacs) announced that the Bishop of Rochester had consented to preside at the meeting, and that the speakers would include the Bishops of Bath and.

Wells and Rockhampton, Sir Charles Elliott, and Canon Scott Holland, and that the Bishop of Newcastle had promised to preach at the service in St. Paul's. The Archbishop of Canterbury conferred thedegree of Mus.Doc. upon two well-known musicians yesterday week in the library of Lambeth McNaught, and Mr. Wood, organist of Exeter Cathedral.

The Daily Chronicle says that Mr. W. G. McNaught, F.R.A.M., who for fourteen years has been attached to the Education Department as Assistant-Inspector of Music, waa born in Stepney, and in his teens spent his spare hours in studying music. He became a mombor and, later, conductor of the Ashcroft-Evans adult choir, which in 1874 was transferred to Bow, and formed the nucleus of tho Bow and Bromley Institute choir.

In 1875 he accepted an appointment at Novello's, and for some years has superintended the publication of tonic sol- fa music by that firm. Mr. McNaught, who is editor of the School Music Review, was recommended for the Lambeth degree hy Sir John Stainer, Sir George Grove, and Sir Walter Parratt. These three musical knights also recommended Mr. D.

J. Wood for a similar distinction. It was in 1873 that he took the degreo of Mus.Bac. at Oxford, and in 1874 was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Organists. The following year he was appointed organist at Chichester Cathedral, and in 1876 ho accepted the post he still holds at Exeter.

A notice was issued stating that the meeting of York Convocation summoned for yesterday would not take place. Oxford Diocesan Conference will beheld on Thursday and Friday, September 24th and 25th.

Hut meet tho requirements of tho Act of PW.

a suitable residence for the Hishop bo added. A generous benefactor, tho Rev. II. A. Daniel, gave a house a few years ago, which has been accepted by the lOccle- siastical Commissioners conditionally on its being adapted to the use of tlie future Hishop; for this purpose, and to erect, a chapel, a further sum of is required.

Upwards of has been collected, mainly from Hristol sources. Many have contributed to tho fund three or four times over, and it will be most difficult to raiso locally this last remaining sum. Meantime population grows by leaps and bounds, whole districts are without efficient spiritual ministrat ions, and the work of the Church is seriously suffering. Wo want only to crown the noble effort begun by Archdeacon Norris twelve years ago. thi -i hut hrislmiiri number remain in Churchmen throughout Pmglaud help us in order that wo may have our Hishop by effort next?"

H. all, Tot ti-ridge. who is a largo employer of labour in the Victoria Docks district, tho work was explained by the Hishop of St.

Albans, and by two vicars in succession of St. Luke's, Victoria Docks- the Rev. Dr. Boyd, Principal of Hertford College, Oxford, and tho present Archdeacon of Lssex. Tho second meeting was held under circumstances of exceptional interest.

It was given by tho kindness of Mr. William Spoke, of Jordans, near Ilininstcr. The Bishop of Hath and Wells presided, and gave a most cordial welcome to his two brother Hishons. The work was explained to a very sy input hot ic audience by the Hishop of St. Albans, the Hishop of Colchester, and Archdeacon Stevens.

The latter gave a vivid description of his work at tho Docks, and how often by quiet, persuasion ho was able to stop prize-fights in tho parish. Not only was an excellent collection made, but a permanent interest wa- excited. Owners of country houses scarcely realise how helpful and encouraging is such an opportunity of making known a great and even national need. The last meeting was held at Mr. D.

J. Morgan's, Ooeil Hotoe, South Weald, and followed immediately after the consecration of tho churchyard at St. Paul's chapel-of-easo. After uddroses by Mr. Morgan and tho Bishop of St.

Albans, the Rev. E. Ibbotson gave an interesting description of his work at St. Michael's, Walthamstow, with its 15,000 souls. The Bishop of Colchester followed, and Canon Procter, hon.

sec. spoke of the help which tho fund had received from South Weald in fche ast, mentioning the late Mr. Cooke and the Rev. C. A.

This last meeting took the place of one which was to have been hold atEaston Lodge, but which was unavoidably postponed through tho lamented illnesb of tho Countes6 of Warwick..
