 ADDRESS OF THE BISHOP. 
 
 -? 
 
 Brethren of the Clergy and Laity: 
 
 In opening this Ninety-ninth Annual Convention of our 
 Diocese we should first of all thank God for the peace 
 within our borders, and pray that He may preserve us in 
 love and concord ; and that He may in His wise providence 
 so govern the minds and wills of men all the world over, 
 that wars may cease in all lands, and that brotherly love 
 and mutual helpfulness may replace the hatred and vio- 
 lence which now deform the face of so great a part of the 
 world. I can not refrain from saying so much — but I will 
 not say more. So vast and tremendous are the issues in- 
 volved that they confound the mind and depress the heart of 
 him who endeavors to estimate them. Of one fundamental 
 fact of revelation they are the irrefutable evidence, namely, 
 that the heart of man is deceitful above all things and desper- 
 ately wicked. While we have been looking for peace and uni- 
 versal love and justice to be brought about by civilization and 
 science and culture and human conventions, all of which are 
 good in their way, we are suddenly confronted with a mani- 
 festation of human depravity almost beyond belief; and we 
 feel how helpless is all human goodness without the regenera- 
 ting and sanctifying work of God's Holy Spirit in the heart 
 of the individual. The Church of Christ must brace itself 
 for better conquests in this and in all lands if it is to fulfil 
 its mission of bringing peace on earth. 
 
 During the year covered by our reports to this Convention, 
 April 1, 1914, to March 31, 1915, we have lost one of our 
 faithful clergymen by death. On the 24th of December last, 
 the Rev. Henry Trowbridge Gregory fell asleep in Christ, in 
 the eighty-first year of his age, and in the fifty-seventh year of 
 his mi listry. He was a native of Albany, E"-. Y., and served 
 the greater part of his life in that section of the country. He 
 came to this Diocese in 1896, and served devotedly and ef- 
 fectively in the church at Southern Pines until 1909, when 
 failing strength compelled him to resign the responsible 
 charge of the work. But his labors for Christ and the 
 
Church never ceased so long as he was able to do anything for 
 any one. I think I have never known a more single-minded 
 devotion in any man than was in him. Good, true, loyal, dili- 
 gent, unselfish, he set an example which all of us might fol- 
 low with advantage to ourselves and to our work. 
 
 This Diocese has suffered another loss by death. The late 
 Bishop of East Carolina had been so intimately associated 
 with us that we may well claim our share of the loss caused 
 by his departure. He was a Candidate for Orders in this 
 Diocese before the erection of the Diocese of East Carolina, 
 but being a resident of Wilmington, passed to that Diocese, 
 and was the first person upon whom Bishop Watson laid 
 hands in ordination, having been ordained to the Diaconate 
 by Bishop Watson, April 20th, only three days after his own 
 Consecration as Bishop, April 17th, 1884. Always an en- 
 thusiast in self-sacrificing work for those most helpless, he 
 gave the first fruits of his ministry to that extraordinary work 
 among the negroes of Southern Virginia, inaugurated and 
 for some time carried on with remarkable results by the late 
 Mrs. Buford. In 1885 he came to the Church of the Good 
 Shepherd, Raleigh, but after two years with us, accepted a 
 call to become rector of St. James's Church, Wilmington, in 
 which he had been brought up. For a few years before his 
 election as Bishop of East Carolina he was Rector of St. 
 Paul's Church, Richmond, but his life, in spite of these brief 
 experiences in other places, was chiefly identified with Wil- 
 mington and East Carolina. It was a curious and happy 
 coincidence that the first person ordained by the first Bishop 
 of East Carolina should become the successor of that Bishop, 
 and the second Bishop of that Diocese. I need not speak of 
 his work as Bishop ; it is too well known. And there is no 
 need that I should speak of his character by way of making it 
 known to you, for many of you knew him as well or better 
 than I. Indeed, there were few men in the State whose 
 character seemed to make a more general appeal to the confi- 
 dence and sympathy of the people at large. His warm heart, 
 his broad humanity, his deep interest in everything affecting 
 the welfare of the State and our people, his ready response 
 to every demand for sympathy or help, and the warm and 
 spontaneous eloquence with which he was able to express 
 these attractive qualities of his character, made him one of 
 the best known and best loved citizens of North Carolina. 
 His death was a loss to us all as citizens no less than as 
 

 Churchmen. It would be unbecoming in us not to put upon 
 our records at least this inadequate expression of apprecia- 
 tion of his character and our sense of what we have lost. 
 
 But we must turn to the consideration of the business for 
 which we are met in this annual Convention. And first of 
 all, in accordance with the requirements of the Canons, I 
 must give you an account of mj work and official acts.

 preached 103 sermons, made 13 addresses, baptized 4 adults

 persons in the Diocese of East Carolina. 
 
 The ordinations noted in their proper order in connection 
 with my services throughout the year are more fully recorded 
 as follows :

15 
 
 September 3d, in All Saints' Church, our Mission to Negroes, in 
 Warrenton, in connection with the services at the annual meeting of 
 our Colored Convocation, I ordained to the Diaconate John Ethophi- 
 lus Grattan Small, a colored man, and advanced to the Priesthood 
 a colored Deacon, the Rev. Joseph Hoyle Hudson. The Candidate

 James D. Miller. I preached the sermon, and was assisted in the 
 service by the Rev. Edwin A. Osborne, Archdeacon Hughes, and the

 The newly ordained Priests continue in their former fields 
 of work. The Rev. Wm. Hoke Ramsaur, Deacon, is with 
 my consent continuing" for the present his work in connection 
 with the Students' Volunteer Missionary Movement. The 
 Rev. Arthur William Taylor, after continuing for some 
 months at Roanoke Rapids, has been placed under the Rev. 
 Henry A. Willey, at Mayodan, to have special charge of Wal- 
 nut Cove, Grermanton, and Mount Airy. Rev. John E. G. 
 Small is serving the colored mission of St. Titus, Durham, 
 under the direction of Archdeacon Delany.

 The fields of labor of the clergy continue as heretofore, 
 except as follows : 
 
 The Rev. John Long Jackson has accepted charge of the 
 Mission Church of St. Martin's, Charlotte. 
 
 The Rev. Robt. A. Tufft has become rector of St. Peter's

 the Church of the Messiah, Rockingham, since April 1. 
 
 The Rev. Locke W. Blackwelder in December, 1914, re- 
 signed charge of Trinity Church, Scotland Neck, and St. 
 Mark's, Halifax, and removed to High Point to undertake 
 the important work of St. Mary's Church in that town. 
 
17 
 
 The Rev. Clarence Gr. Prosper!, Deacon, has been transr- 
 ferred from St. Timothy's Church, Wilson, to the charge of 
 Trinity Church, Statesville, and All Saints', Concord. 
 
 We have still many fields of labor in the Diocese vacant, 
 or but ill supplied with the ministrations of the Church, but 
 on the whole a very great advance has been made over last 
 year, and there is good hope of further improvement in the 
 near future. It is gratifying to find that our young men are 
 not wholly indifferent to the call of the ministry, and that, 
 while we gladly welcome good men from other Dioceses who 
 come to supply our vacant parishes and missions, we are doing 
 something ourselves to supply new men for our own increas- 
 ing demands, and also helping other Dioceses with contribu- 
 tions of men for their work. Twenty-five names on our 
 clergy list are those of men whom I have myself ordained ; 
 and I find on the clergy lists of other Dioceses seventeen 
 names of men ordained by me and transferred. 
 
 But we must not suppose that the work of the Church, 
 even its missionary and evangelistic work, is to be done by 
 clergymen alone. If we had an unlimited supply, they are 
 by themselves inadequate to the work. The ordained min- 
 ister never speaks the word effectively unless the vital force 
 of the living body of Christians gives power to his voice. 
 And the official ministrations of the clergy need to be supple- 
 mented by the zealous cooperation of the laity, if the enlight- 
 ening Gospel is to reach into the remote recesses of our com- 
 plicated modern life. We should seek above all things to 
 develop and to extend the work of our laymen in the devo- 
 tional and evangelistic work of the Diocese. Much has al- 
 ready been done in this direction ; much more can and must 
 be done. Within the last year or two some rather extraordi- 
 nary instances of effective lay work have occurred in this 
 Diocese. Doubtless you will hear something of them when 
 we come to discuss our missionary work. I only refer to 
 them here for the purpose of illustrating and emphasizing the 
 importance and value of such work. And this work is not 
 less important in maintaining the proper life of the Church 
 itself than in operating for its increase and extension. He 
 is in no proper sense a Christian who is contented to enjoy 
 Christian privileges himself without endeavoring to extend 
 them to others. In exhorting his favorite son in the faith 
 and ministry to the diligent performance of his duty, St. 
 Paul reminds him that by so doing he would save himself as 
 
18 
 
 well as those who heard him. It is one of the best signs of 
 the times that the laymen in all our Christian bodies are 
 coming to realize that they must show the reality of their 
 faith by bringing it to bear upon the lives of others. 
 
 The E very-Member Canvass. 
 
 In our Diocese we have been feeling this rising tide of in- 
 terest and activity. Our laymen have not been wholly lack- 
 ing in response to the demands of the times. I wish to call 
 your attention to one particular form in which this new life 
 has shown itself, and to ask you to consider whether we 
 should not make special efforts to develop and extend the 
 movement. 
 
 Of course, as we are situated, no great movement can be 
 carried on without money. Money is really the medium of 
 exchange for all kinds of human energy and intelligence in 
 things secular, and money must be raised for the material 
 support of our missionaries and their work. But what we 
 need more than money is life, the real heart and desire of 
 Christian people for the advancement of Christ's Kingdom. 
 The movement known as the "Men's Missionary Movement" 
 expresses a sense of this need ; and as developed in the "Every- 
 Member Canvass," it brings this aspect of the work to the 
 attention of the people. As has been well said, it "puts the 
 emphasis on the man rather than on the dollar." Hereto- 
 fore we have endeavored to raise such or such an amount of 
 money ; in this method the effort is to reach every person and 
 to enlist the interest of every person, so that each one may 
 take some part, just what each one may choose, large or 
 small, according to the several ability of each, and thus enlist 
 the real heart of the Church in the Church's work. Unques- 
 tionably this is the true principle upon which we should act. 
 We should secure the active interest and cooperation of each 
 member of the church in the work of the Church — and then 
 the work will be done. 
 
 This every-member canvass has been tried in several of the 
 larger parishes, and in some of the small congregations of the 
 Diocese, and with uniform success, both in arousing personal 
 interest and in developing a more liberal support of our work, 
 general and local. This has been owing largely to the inspir- 
 ing influence and leadership of our Provincial Missionary 
 Secretary, the Rev. Robt. W. Patton. It is impossible, how- 
 ever, for Mr. Patton to visit more than a very few congrega- 
 
19 
 
 tions in each Diocese. He can only show us the way and 
 help us to make a beginning. If his work is to be effective 
 we must learn to do for ourselves throughout the Diocese 
 what he has done for us in a few parishes here and there. 
 Aroused by his efforts, our sister Diocese of East Carolina 
 has been carrying on by a Diocesan committee this Every- 
 Member Canvass in all parts of the Diocese, and with the 
 most gratifying results. I earnestly recommend to this Con- 
 vention that as its chief work at this session it adopt and put 
 into operation a scheme for an "Every-Member Canvass" 
 throughout the whole Diocese, and thus develop and utilize 
 the full power of the Church for its important work. 
 
 The Emergency Fund. 
 
 This brings me naturally to the special appeal now made 
 by our General Board of Missions for special and immediate 
 assistance to meet a pressing necessity. Four hundred thou- 
 sand dollars, in addition to the usual apportionment, is needed 
 to enable the Board to meet its obligations by the end of the 
 current fiscal year, August 31, 1915. A committee of the 
 Board, composed of some of our best and wisest Bishops, 
 Priests, and Laymen, have suggested that each member of the 
 Church, clerical and lay, give one day's income, one-three- 
 hundred-and-sixty-fifth part of his annual income — to relieve 
 this pressing necessity in our missionary work. This sug- 
 gestion has commended itself to many generous minds, and a 
 wide response is being made, so that already more than one- 
 fourth of the needed amount has been paid into the treasury. 
 Among our North Carolina churchmen many have felt moved 
 to cooperate in this plan ; and next Sunday, Whitsunday, has 
 been in many places appointed for carrying it out. I there- 
 fore add my voice in support of the effort to enlist the gener- 
 ous response of our people. Let us all upon next Sunday, 
 each using such means as he may think best, endeavor to 
 secure from all willing hearts a gift of one day's income for 
 our General Missionary work, to be collected by such person 
 as the minister may appoint, and forwarded promptly to Mr. 
 Geo. Gordon King, Treasurer, 281 Fourth Avenue, ~New 
 York. . 
 
 There are a number of important matters demanding the 
 attention of the Convention at this session. Some rearrange- 
 ment of our Missionary work in the three Convocations has 
 
20 
 
 been suggested, and will be presented to the Convention by a 
 committee appointed by the Convocations. We should also 
 have a report from our Committee upon the Celebration of the 
 approaching Centenary of our Diocese. Some reorganiza- 
 tion of the administration of the Thompson Orphanage, so 
 as to secure a larger Board of Managers, and thereby a more 
 adequate representation of our Dioceses and of the people 
 interested in it, will probably be advocated, and should be 
 carefully considered. We shall also hear from our great 
 educational institution, St. Mary's School, which continues 
 to deserve and to receive the loyal support, not only of our 
 Carolina Dioceses, but of many other Dioceses, especially in 
 the South. 
 
 I feel that I should ask your special consideration of our 
 work among the Negroes of the Diocese. The actual work 
 among them is in the hands of the Convocation, as is the case 
 with all our Diocesan missionary work. But the Convoca- 
 tion needs the support of the Diocese, and I think we have 
 not realized our duty to our Colored work. The treasury 
 of the Colored Convocation needs the contributions of all our 
 congregations in accordance with the repeated recommenda- 
 tions of this Convention ; and our colored clergy and our col- 
 ored people need the sympathy and cooperation of our white 
 clergy and people in all communities where we are working 
 among them. We can never do our duty by any class of our 
 brethren by simply giving money. We must give also personal 
 sympathy and personal interest. I bespeak for our colored 
 clergy and congregations the increasing interest and co- 
 operation of all our people in their efforts for the Chris- 
 tian culture of that great class of our population whose lives 
 are so inseparably bound up with ours, without whose ele- 
 vation and religious culture we can not maintain a high 
 standard of Christian civilization. In this connection we 
 are asked to express again our views upon the best method for 
 the general organization of the Church work among the 
 Negroes of the South, and I doubt not that you will give the 
 matter your earnest consideration. 
 
 I feel more than you do, how impossible it is to say all 
 that should be said on such an occasion, when we come to- 
 gether to consult for the best interests of the Kingdom of God 
 on earth. I have touched most briefly upon a few of the 
 many subjects which demand our attention. I trust we have 
 
21 
 
 God's holy inspiration to think the things that are good for 
 His cause entrusted to us, and His merciful guidance that we 
 may perform the same for the setting forth of His truth and 
 the building up of His Church.
