INDIANAPOLIS, JUNE 2D, 1896. The Convention of the Church in the Diocese of Indiana assembled in fifty-ninth annual meeting in Grace Cathedral at 8 o'clock this evening, and after evening prayer said by Rev. T. B. Barlow, and the Rev. Palin Saxby, the Bishop read his second annual address, as follows: TO THE CLERGY AND LAITY OF INDIANA IN COUNCIL Assembled: Dear Brethren-Once more are we permitted to assemble in annual council to deliberate on the affairs of Holy Church; to rejoice over the many mercies bestowed upon. us and our work; to take note of the things that are still wanting; to note what may be remedied, and to give earnest consideration to plans for perfecting and enlarging our work for the future. The records of the year are written, and the future must remedy all the imperfections which the past holds in its keeping. The year has not been without its sorrows, occasioned by those who have passed from the field of battle to the rest of Paradise. Sad indeed is it for me to make record of the death of the Rev. J. Hillard Ranger, the rector of Christ Church, and one of our deputies to the General Convention. Leaving home and family and parish for the duties which the Church had laid upon him with his usual bright hopefulness, it seemed but a day till he had contracted the dread disease too powerful for his frail constitution to shake off. Uncomplaining, and thinking only of others, his true condition was not even suspected until in a moment almost he succumbed to his victor, and was numbered with the great host of those who have passed to their reward. It is rarely one's privilege to meet a more beautiful or lovable character than his. Short as was my intercourse with him, I had learned to admire him greatly and trust him implicitly. A man of wonderful judgment, his opinion was always of value. It is reported of him that when a student at the General Seminary he was frequently consulted by his fellow students in their perplexities and embarrassments, and was recognized as the safest guide amid troubles which arose to threaten the amiable relations of Faculty and students. Singularly modest and retiring, he would champion everything but himself. If his work suffered it was due to his shrinking from anything that partook of the nature of a collision, trusting to time to set matters right rather than propel them to a proper condition in a way that would inflict a wound. Loyalty to his Bishop and the order of the Diocese was a daily manifestation of his purpose, and I welcomed his coming with a sense of securety that can never be told. Trinity Church, Michigan City, has suffered a great loss in the death of its senior warden, Mr. U. C..Follet, who for many years had devoted himself without a murmur or discontent to caring for its interests and promoting its prosperity. With very much such a character as Mr. Ranger's, quiet, modest, unostentatious, his influence was rather felt than asserted throughout the community where so many years of his life were spent. In his death he attested the sincerity of his attachment to the Church by making his parish his residuary legatee, so bequeathing to it a sum that will materially increase its efficiency. |
