The public is cordially urged to attend this service. For purposes of administration of church government the Bis- hop is to the Diocese what the C.overnorof the State is to the State. The Constitution id' the United States and the Constitu- tion of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the If. S. A. having '' been framed by largely the same ' men, naturally the organization of the two follow much the same lines of democratic government, The diocese corresponds to the j hop of North Carolina for twenty two years during which time the church in his Diocese has made steady and healthful progress in its service of the highest inter- ests of the State. As a classical scholar and a practical and con- seientious administrator of church affairs he has few equals in the country. A native of this State and familiar with her his- lory, past and present, he has made valuable contributions to both her secular and church his- : tory. He numbers his friends in every nook and corner of the Mate, ins many triends here w ill be glad to welcome him in their midst again. The Bishop's appointment for Roanoke Rapids was first an- nounced for Oct. 10th but it was found expedient to change the t date to Nov. 2nd. OBITUARY ETHEL JANE HARGRAYE, infant daughter of Mr. W. R.
