He reviewed the work of the Eplsoo pal Social Service league and com mended the work, which, he said, re futes the popular misconception that the church does nothing for the "down and out." 'A men's reading room has been opened In the north end," he said, "and Its usefulness has been demonstrated The building generously donated -by the Welnhard estate has now been rent ed and some other place will have to be sought, where the good work can be continued." This being the sixtieth anniversary of the diocese, he spoke of the fact and expressed the hope that the dio cese may be moved to add materially to the Blsliop Morris Jubilee fund, which Is used for the extension of the church in the dlosese. He also ap pealed to the church at large to create b pension fund for aged and Infirm clergy and, in concluding, paid a high compliment to the wives of vicars, who aid their husbands in their work.
