St. Luke's Mission Sunday-school, that had been suspended for a time, has been revived and the interest of many enlisted in its welfare. There is expection also of opening a second mission Sunday-school in another part of the city, remote from the parish church. Mr. Stanley has continued his loving and gratuitous care to St. John's Mission, Rockville.

Through the kindness of Dean Hunter and the clergy of Indianapolis, services on alternate Sundays have been continued for the latter part of the year at Frankfort, Crawfordsville and Greencastle. These missions we hope to provide with permanent services the ensuing year.

Rev. Mr. Carstensen, of St. Paul's, Indianapolis, has provided services for St. Paul's, Columbus, the entire year, giving them Sunday evening services during the summer and autumn and a weekly service every Thursday evening during the latter part of the year. These services have been greatly appreciated.

Mr. Engle has continued his labors at Connersville. The spire of the church has been re-built the past year at a cost of $300 provided by the ladies' guild. The church is now in splendid order and is one of the prettiest of our smaller churches. Rev. J. T. Collins became its settled minister from June 1st, Mr. Engle taking charge of Frankfort and Crawfordsville immediately after Convention.

Rev. C. B. Fosbrook was appointed missionary at New Castle, Kennard and Wilkinson. His services did not prove acceptable in this mission and after a few months he returned to Minnesota. Dr. Jenckes has supplied since February an alternate Sunday service at New Castle. During a good part of the year he gave a monthly service at Worthington and has continued to care for St. Paul's Mission, Plainfield.

In the See city the work of the Church has gone on encouragingly for the most part. Mr. Sargent has continued his faithful labors in the Cathedral, and with the aid of his various co-workers, has cared through the greater part of the year for St. Philip's Mission to colored children and a mission Sunday-school in the north part of the city.

St. Paul's has cared for the missions of St. James's and St. Andrew's and recently organized a new mission Sunday-school in the east part of the city through the special effort of the Director of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew, Mr. W. F. Stilz.

St. George's Mission has organized a new mission. Sunday-school in the southeast part of the city.

Christ Church has taken care of a mission Sundayschool in the north part of the city and continued its fostering care of St. George's.

Dean Hunter has given much attention to the stations in his Deanery unprovided with services, visiting Noblesville, Pendleton, Knightstown, Greenwood, Greencastle, Crawfordsville and Frankfort.

Mr. Morse who was in charge of Frankfort, gave up the care of the mission in August and Mr. S. E. Prentiss, who was at Crawfordsville, went South in August and remained there.

Mr. Sargent has made a monthly visit to Franklin and Mr. Ranger to Shelbyville. This mission has bought an eligible lot and will soon, I hope, be ready to build a neat

church.

The Archdeacon has visited Greencastle, Crawfordsville, Frankfort, Covington, Lebanon, Danville, Greenfield and other points. At Knightsville and Clinton, two places

in the mining region. he has had a large number of baptisms of the children of English miners. There are no vacancies in the Central Convocation that are not arranged to be supplied the coming year.

SOUTHERN CONVOCATION.

Rev. A. A. Abbott, Dean.

Rev. W. H. Bamford, Secretary.

In July last the Rev. Walter H. Bamford was welcomed back to the Diocese as rector of Christ Church, Madison, where he is doing an excellent work.

In October Rev. A. B. Nicholas resigned the rectorship of St. Paul's, New Albany, and removed to the Diocese of West Missouri. He also resigned the office of Dean of the Southern Convocation. Rev. A. A. Abbott was appointed to succeed him as Dean. The parish has recently called a rector, Rev. Hudson Stuck, of Texas.

Rev. William Lund came to us from Oregon in November to take charge of the missions of St. Mark's, Aurora, and Trinity, Lawrenceburgh. Under his care these missions are steadily improving and their church property greatly improved; re-painting of church and a new carpet put down at Lawrenceburgh and a new altar, lecturn and carpet having been donated to St. Mark's, Aurora, by parishioners. We look for steady improvement in these missions.

Mr. Lund gives a monthly service at Greensburgh, where a ladies guild has been organized and is working to secure a church lot, $50 already being in their treasury as the result of the first year. I have confirmed nine persons in this mission in the past two years.

Rev. A. W. Morgan was ordered Deacon December 31st, and with the beginning of the year took charge of St.

Stephen's, New Harmony, and St. John's, Mount Vernon, these missions assuming his entire support. His labors are being blessed and I have confirmed in both places a number of candidates. The neat church at Mount Vernon has been greatly improved by re-painting the interior and the Church is gaining in the favor of the community. It was a great advance to be able to occupy these two points with a settled clergyman and an example has been set worthy of imitation in their assuming entire support of their clergyman.

Rev. Charles Morris resigned the rectorship of St. Paul's, Evansville, February 1st, in the present year, concluding a rectorship of thirteen years, during which time the beautiful parish church, chapel and rectory have been secured. He accepted the charge of a parish in Natchez, Mississippi. The parish has called to succeed him Rev. W. Northey Jones, of New York, who entered upon his duties on Whitsunday. We pray that his rectorship may be greatly blessed.

In February the Rev. B. M. Bradin, of the Diocese of Central New York, was appointed missionary at Washington and Worthington, where we hope his labors may be blessed in advancing the work of the Church. During the year a very tasteful church has been erected at Washington through the efforts of Dr. Adams, of Vincennes. This cost $1,800 and was blessed October 29th, 1893.

December 1st Dr. Adams resigned St. James's, Vincennes, and after a brief stay at the East, returned March 1st to accept the rectorship of St. Paul's, Jeffersonville, where the new stone church is completed, except furnishing, and a rectory is expected to be built this summer.

Dr. Adams was succeeded at St. James's, Vincennes, by Rev. Edwin Johnson, of Minnesota, on the Sunday after Easter.

January 1st Rev. Edward Saunders resigned the missions of St. John's, Greencastle, and Trinity, Bloomington, to take charge of St. Paul's, Hammond. Bloomington has been supplied with lay services by Professor Merrill, of the State University, and Mr. Fletcher every Sunday, and has had a monthly visit of a clergyman. Greencastle has had occasional services. These missions we hope to place under the care of the Rev. Mr. Swan from September 1st.

The Archdeacon has visited many places in the Southern Convocation and looked up any Churchmen of whom we had any knowledge, at Corydon, Princeton, Petersburgh, Sullivan, Bedford, Salem, Charlestown, Clinton, Bloomfield, Rockford, Switz City and Leavenworth

Holy Innocents' Memorial Church, Evansville, celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of their parish, the founders, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Viele, being present and assisting at the celebration. Never has this parish done better work than under the present rector. He also serves as chaplain of the Southern Hospital for the Insane, giving a service every Sunday afternoon.

During the past year the property of the Good Shepherd has been sold, by consent of the original donor, Mr. Charles Viele, for $1,400, which will be held for the erection of mission chapels in Evansville at a future time.

Rev. Mr. Jackson has continued his faithful labors at St. Luke's, Cannelton, where I have been called twice to confirm.

It will be seen from this record that the Southern Convocation is at the present time better supplied than ever before with clerical service and that there will be no vacant parish within its borders if the newly elected rector of St. Paul's, New Albany, accepts their call.
