The Clergy will take notice that these appoipt-ments (unless otherwise stated) are for Confirmation and should there be no candidate the Bishop desires to be informed that the appointment may be cancelled. Requests for change of date should not be made. A list of the full Christian (and Maiden) names of candidates, as required by Canon, must' be handed to the Bishop when the formal presentation is made in Church. Persons desiring Confirmation in places where there is no Clergyman at present will please write to the Bishop, who will arrange for their instruction and preparation. attended the exercises of a Sunday School Christmas festival, and made an address, Rev. Mr. Marsh taking the opening and closing services. The Sunday School here is doing admirably under the efficient leadership of Mr. J. A. Alpaugh and his wide awake corps of teachers. Dec. 25. Columbus. Preached and celebrated the Holy Communion. In the evening was present and participated in the exercises of a Sunday School Christmas festival and made an address. It is surprising to me that our people here in Columbus do not more fully appreciate the fact that they are for some reason allowing a rare opportunity for the building up of the Church to slip most effectually through their fingers. The old Church building has seen its day, done its work, in fact outlived its usefulness and ought to be superceded by one more commensurate with the push, the thrift and the public spirit every where to be seen from the construction of magnificent blocks, to the building and furnishing of elegant homes in the delightful little city of Columbus. Dec. 27. Silver Creek. Preached and celebrated the Holy Communion—a goodly number communicating. I was delightfully entertained in the hospitable home of Mrs. Wauke who was exceedingly kind to me while scarcely able to get around from the effects of La Grippe. Dec. 30. South Omaha. In the absence of Canon Whitmarsh, Baptised two children. Jan. 3. At home sick. Jan. 10. Hartington. Preached twice. The Congregations were good, especially in the evening, which consisted largely of men. The new church now in process of construction will be ready for occupancy February the first. Much credit is due our people here, though few in number, they are interested, earnest and determined to make the Mission a success. It may not be with them, but it must be a success. Grace Mission of Ilarlington is the youngest mission of the Diocese, but by no means the most helpless. W. H. SPARLING. The Bishop cannot but again notice with deep concern the inclination shown in some parishes and missions to cut down unreasonably the list ot communicants in order to lessen the amount of their assessment. Such an act is unjust to the Diocese in more ways than one, and equally so to the Church at large, which is thus made to appear less strong than She really is, while every communicant whose name is thus removed has his birthright taken away so far as man can deprive him of it. The assessment is an indespensible necessity for the prosecution of the work of the Diocese. Two cents a week for each en rolled communicant honestly paid will meet our needs, but if at the end of the year names are struck off, a a larger per capita will be necessary. A little attention to this matter at the beginning of the year and a little system in gathering it, would make the collection of the amount so easy that no mission even, however small, would be tempted to lessen its roll in order to escape the payment. This lyear too .increased demands will be made on the Diocesan fund as this is the year for the General Convention to meet, and this Diocese will have to pay to its funds at least $120. viz: $3. for each clergyman on our roll. Brethren be loyal and faithful in this matter. On the 21st, Sexagesima Sunday, Canonical offerings for Theological Education must be taken. We have so many Students being educated for work in this Diocese that liberal offerings are urgently needed. P. R. Talbot, POSTULANTS. Francis Eason, Wm. T. Brown. CANONICAL OFFERINGS. 1. On Whit Sunday, for Episcopal Fund. 2. On the first Sunday in Advent, for Domestic and Foreign Missions. _ 3. On Sexagesima Sunday, for Theological Education. •. On Good Friday, for Missions to the Jews. 6. On the Bishop's Visitations j on Mid-Lent Sunday; on the second Sunday in May; and on the last Sunday in October, for DiocesanMissions. 6.

Dec. io. Fairbuiy. Buried the infant and only child of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Peterson. Dec. 13. York. Preached twice and celebrated Holy Communion. While the congregations were not as large as we could have hoped for, yet they were attentive and appreciative. I was under obligation in this instance as well as in my last visit to this Parish, to the generous hospitality of Mrs. G. H. Jerome who understands the art of making it exeedingly agreeable for her guests. Dec. 20. Geneva. The Indian School. Read morning and evening prayer and made an address at both services. In the evening baptised twenty adults. Conducted the opening and closing services of the Sunday School and taught the Bible Class. In the afternoon, instructed a class for confirmation. Dec. 21. Geneva. Evening. Presented a class of thirty-three for Confirmation who after the laying on of hands were earnestly addressed by the Bishop in well chosen words. On their retiring to their seats the Bishop presented to each one of them a beautiful silver cross. It is not often in the life of the ordinary Clergyman of the Church, that he has the privilege of witnessing such an interesting and impressive service as this, thirty-three well instructed and intelligent Indian boys and girls received into the Catholic church by the Apostolic rite of Confirmation. I am deeply indebted to Mr. W. B. Backus for his hospitality and many kindnesses while ministering to the spiritual necessities of these Children of the Church, now in his care and under his instructions. Dec. 24. Silver Creek. In company with the Rev. A. E. Marsh, of Central City. OFFICIAL. OMAHA, NEB., JAN. 2, A. D. 1892. In accordance with the provisions of Canon 5, Title II, of the Digest, in the presence of Rev. Paul Mathews, the Rev. John Albert Williams, and the Rev. Irving P. Johnson, Presbyters of the Church, We have on this second day oi January in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-two, after solemn service, pronounced and recorded that WILLIAM DUNLAP MORROW, Presbyter, is deposed from the exercise of the functions of the ministry of the Church. GEO. WORTHINGTON, Bishop of Nebraska. ATTEST: W. T. WHITMARSH, Registrar. The Rectors and Wardens of the City Parishes are requested at once to secure hospitality for the Delegates attending our Annual Council in May. This is necessary as the Methodist Conference of the U. S. will be held at the same time in this city and the members of that religious body are already seeking hospitality for their delegates from our people in common with others. We must he careful to so arrange our business as not to leave our own delegation unprovided for in the presence of the great pressure that is being brought to bear on the whole city to provide for others. In connection with this it may be well to note the rubric in the office for the visitation of the sick, which makes it the duty of the Clergy to exhort the sick man to make his will and therein to remember the claims of the needy on his estate. How seldom is this duty discharged hv us, and how very seldom are the claims of the Church and of the poor recognized in the will of a Christian man. Every man ought to be represented in the ranks of the priesthood, if not by a son, by one whom, wholty or in part, he has trained and educated for that sacred life-work; living, he should attend to it as a duty of the living, dying, he should provide, as far as ability permits, still thus to labor for the 'Church when he has passed to the rest of Paradise. Be. sides this there are other very important objects which the Bishop would commend as fitting objects to be remembered by those who are making their wills. 1. The completion of the Cathedral of the Diocese according to Bishop Clarkson's original plan. The architect's drawing hangs in the Bishop's office and what remains to be done can be seen at a glance. 2. The increase of the Episcopal Endowment to an amount sufficient to yield a fitting income for the Bishop of the Diocese without having to raise any portion of the salary by other means. 3. The endowment of one or more beds in the Memorial Hospital, thus canjying on perpetually a work of mercy, and perpetuating the memory of the first Bishop of Nebraska-
