BISHOP SEYMOUR.
The Consecration Ceremonies in
Old Trinity.
AN IMPRESSiyE SCENE.
A Large Assemblage of Distin
guished Clergymen.
BISHOP LAY'S SERMON.
Daring tbo lut twenty years the interior of Trinity
Churoh bus not been the scene oi a more imposing
ceremony then that witnessed there yesterday in tbe
Consecration ot Rev. George Fruuklin Seymour, D. D.,
LL. D., as Bisbop o( tbe diocese of Spriugtiold, 111.
Although tbe services were aunouuoed to commence
.at eleven o'clock A. M. tne naves of tbo sacred
?dlflco were completely dlled wltb worshippers
and spoctatore nearly an hour Drevlous to tuet
time, while tbe aide aisles and vcatibule were
* thronged with ladies and gentlemen who looked
in vain for Bitting room. The body ol tbo churoh wos
Itvtded off for the olergy and prominent lay visitors,
whilo the bishops occupied seats lu the chanoeL As
the hoar ot service drew nlgb the church became
densely packed wtth people, and the half doz-n utsh
trs, apparently ovorwbelmod with importunities,
moved rapidly up and dowa the main aisle without be
mg sble to rolievo the inoonveaienco of tbo standing
multitude. Tbe new reredos, lately presented to
pld Trinity Cbnrcb by Mr. William B. Astor, pre
sented a magnificent appearance to tbe large audience
oi strangers who looked upon it for tne llrst time us
well us to tbose who statedly worship there. Its am
ple and beautiful proportions were also well set oil by
the brilliant 'gas lights in tbe rear of the chunecl,
which lell upon the polished marble and reflected
itscll on tbe statues of the evangelists, mollified as It
woe by the variegated light ol tbe obanoel window.
In the ornute niche immediately beneatb tbo statues
and behind the holy communion table were two
large aod beautiful bouquets, over each of wbich a
Solitary light gleumod high above. The great organ
pealed forth, as a voluntary, "J'ho Sicilian
Mariner's Hymn," by Lux, as ea prelude to tbo
impressive services to oome. About a quarter
ot aa hour before tbo regular procession entered the
church some seventy or more surpliced clergymen
belonging to ibla diocose marched from the vestry und
stationed tbemselvea In a line on each side of the
middle atslQ extending from tbe vestibule to a point
near the obanceL Shortly after eleven, and when tbo
anxiety of the audience was drawn to its utmost ten
sion, tbe voices ol tbo choir were hoard approaching
the south door of the vestry chaoting tbe hymn?
Tbe Church's one Foundation. ?
Emerging from tbe voatry tbe regular procession in
pairs came slowly down the south aisle, the choir
leading, the bishops immediately following and the
Other clergy bringing np tbe reer; thenoe up the mid
Ale aisle, (be cbolr filing right and leit to their piaoes
In tbe obancel, tbe bishops also taking seats near tbe
communion table, while the visiting and resident olergy
were tarnished wltb sittings in the pows reserved tor
them in tne body of the church.

It was su admirable review of the Protestant

and our latuera have been bract witb niuny diffliuiies

humbly truat they will bn largely taken
lino acoouu t whon our stewardship ua u
national CliuroU shall come ender review. A general
outlook upon ill* Church's work is this land, while
u does not wartaut faintheartedness hor the use ol
those cooieinpiuous words wherewith theatrical
churchmen lomeiimos lauot their mother, yet ta net
lucb aa to oausiy the aspirations ol a Christian soul
Ihat yeurna lor tna universal empire ol bis Loru.
Tbe church in Us Ideal should be eo-extanalva with
the population, with majestic ?i renins along the
greet highways ol ulo aou its little brooks and
run wtuulug through tho glades and woods, and
tarrying reiraanmant to those who dwell apart from
tuny scenes. It should be comprehensive ol ell
tin tees und conditions. I bore are social dtailtictinna
which are not litely aver to be aboiiebed. 1 la, ra are
elective am nines which, despite all theories, will draw
man together In lamiilar relations according to tbcir
sulture, their pursuits and tliair wealth. But tho
Christian heart cannot let go the thought that around
tlionliarot Cod wu inuy meet on equal terms and
recognize the' brolUeihood ol man; that us we go
lorth uuiiy to gather the manna ol grace no Wan
should claim consideration iu ibiugs spiritual by rSV
son ol social precedence.
ranriaUTY is ouukuh woks.
But instead ol sensing to irrigate tbe wilderness
we aeam rather to select a lertile oasis here and
tbere, content with a local su ccss and careless to re
claim tbe earth that lies around. We speak Of
churches "doited" over the land, but tbe dot is
oftonest made with reference to Individual conveni
ence rather than with retard to tbe needs of Indi
vidual souls. In the Bust us well as in the West the
Church is too much the Church ol towus aud villages.
Rural districts, counties and tiers 01 cooulies iu tbs
rural districts ure un visited by our clergy. And evcu
wliem our entireties ure successful!.! planted tbe rich
and the boor do not Ireely mingle, and iho beuo
llt ot the Church's miutatraiiuu is too. much
oour.ned to ibo lew who sustain them by pecuuiary
contributions. We are this duy, suid Uisnup Lav. to
coQsecralo a bishop lor a diocese, ol uo small popula
tion ludeud, aud not without towus aud cities, but
yet Chiefly rural. 1 may, then, bo excused It 1 venture
to urge the imporlauce ol seeking to popularize tho
Church, which is hut a modem phrase tor making her
truly caibolio. The uesiru to extend tbe blessing of
the Church mora generally lies uo doubt
at tho foundation of the movement fur sub-dtvtding
dioceses. Wo have cot yet reached the hundredth
year ol our separated ecclesiastical orguuizalion,'but
now rapidly bus our cpiscopute bt-eu enlarged ! At
the end ol tne flrst tweuty-bvo yours leu bishops Uuvu
beau consecrated; In thu next iwcnij-flvc ysurs
twenty were uuded; tu tbe loilowiug like period,
tbiriy-niue, una in tbo uulicisbrd quurter (twenty
vcurs) ol our century fllty-two bu^o been set apart to
the episcopate. This litcrease in a geometrical ratio is
reaching a limit, but U is very noar the truth
to say that our episcopate bus doubled ilseU
In oucn quarter ol u century ol Its existence. Fidelity
and Industry in personal ministrations do not fill out
tbe meusure ol a bishop's duty in ibis ago and
country. Ho must think fur the Church at large.
While the most part oven of good uieu do not look
beyond tho duties and opportunities ol tho present It
U his to survey tbe held iu Us fullest extent, to
look us fur us he may luto tne needs and op
portunities of tho Church of the fuluro, aud to
lay loundatloua which, liko himself, stn.ll bei
hidden end lurgolleo, hut which shall dolor
miuu the construction in tbe Oi-nlurtha to come. And
yet 1 cannot think Ibul tbe reinody of small diocusos
is s panacea for alt our deficiencies. A bishop needs
a diocese. His work should be Bdequaio for the su
perior gilts ol bisoUlco. tie must be relieved Iroiu
tbe pressure ol lgnoole poverty, lest his usoiuluesg be
marred. What Uo wo need in order 10 enhance ibu
usefulness ol tno Chuicb and to attract luto her
spbera tho people who art scattered aa sheep with
out a shepherd? Barnabas was u goo.i man
and lull ol iho Holy Ghost We recogoizo hero
the simple lesson lor tuo Church und lor individual
clergymen?that personal goodness is essential to
our work; that our lll-tuocsss in reclaiming iho
erring muy be traced to tne religious delects of tne
would-be teacher. The- collect touches us not to rest
content wtin mHUifold gills. We need another grace
to be udaod, the grace to usu these gilts lotion's honor

After reisrriug thou to too relations between priest

uot no it the bishop is over ou the wing, dooming his

how, at Clucluuall, upostles, eldurs and ureth
run caino together to consider the grave matter
wtueihor a bishop is at liberty to celebrate the Holy

Again, the work which we should regurd as a whole

retired in tears he bore himself us calmly as tf about
to regain bti freedom instead ol being about to suffer
an Iguoiuiuious death. His couueol called upon bltn
at ball-paat nine to auy udieu. To one of tbont be
euid, "I thank you, gentletnou, for wbat you have
done lor mo, and U I can do anything lor you In the
