Description

Excerpt from Domestic Missions, Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America<br/><br/>An old man when sent, ever youthful in spirit, ever working at a rate that would be appalling to most, young or old, he is an ex ample the Church ought not to forget. His biography should be written for the instruo tion and inspiration of the young Mission aries of the future. Bishop Spalding, ber 3lst, in Denver, February 27th, 1874. A cor dial welcome greeted us in the city and in all parts of the jurisdiction. Every thing was done that could be to make us feel at home. My first official act was to meet and confer with the vestry of St. John's, and next, on the first Sunday, to preach and confirm a class of sixteen, and administer the Holy Communion in St. John's Church. The following week, an appeal to the churchmen of Denver was prepared and circulated for a church to be called Trinity, as a memorial to Bishop Ran dall, for which I had received dollars from Miss Abby R. Loring, of Boston. This appeal brought in at Easter about and the church was built during the summer. Jarvis Hall was visited and a change made in the principalship, and then was under taken my first systematic visitation of the jurisdiction. The work was greatly suffering for the want of oversight. The strong hand that had controlled every detail of school and other management having been withdrawn, there could not but be many things requiring attention. Of the Clergy these only were at their posts: the Rev. Walter H. Moore at Denver, the Rev. L. H. Strycker at Golden.
