COPY (3))? WESTERN UNEON TELEGRAM

PASTORAL LETTER FROM
THE BISHOP

To the Clergy of the Diocese
and to ﬂee I/Vomrzn's Auxiliary [/zerem.

After correspondence and a confer-
ence with Miss Scudder, the diocesan
President of the Auxiliary, I am an-
nouncing to you the general arrange-
ments for the observance of the
Pilgrimage of Prayer in this Diocese.
But please note at the outset, that the
services are not designed exclusively
for members of the Auxiliary, but for
all who may be interested.

THE SUGGESTION OF THE IDEA

The name HA Pilgrimage of Prayer"
is taken from the Church of England,
There it was planned because of the
continual returning to their- homes,
from the front, of a multitude of
young men who had passed through
deep religious experiences. They were
met. 3}] their: (state. homegr‘ry a lack
of understanding and a frivolous care—
lessness. So some devout church—
women undertook Christian training
among the women, especially in the
smaller villages. These churchwomen
called themselves ”Pilgrims" and wore
an appropriate habit, and went, two
and two, on foot from village to vil-
lage, holding meetings in the cottages.
One of these English pilgrims was in
St. Louis, at the time of the last-Gen-
eral Convention, and there explained
the whole matter to the Auxiliary Tri-
ennial Meeting.

APPLICATION OF THE IDEA TO THIS
COUNTRY

Miss Julia C. Emery, who was for
very many years the belovedGeneral
Secretary of thesWoiﬁan’s Auxiliary,

rtwhargewof the application of the
idea in another form to our Church in
this land. In her little leaﬂet she says:

HWith us it signiﬁes the same peti—
tions arising in place after place, until
in the course of our Christian Year
intercession shall have been made from
every portion of the Church. This
year we hope to pray with better un-
derstanding of what prayer is, with a

‘72,!)

ﬁrmer belief in its power. We plan
that one course of study shall take
Prayer for its subject. The call to our
Pilgrimage of Prayer is from the trien—
nial gathering of the VVoman’s Auxili-
ary to the Board of Missions, to all
members of the Woman’s Auxiliary.
Should others, or women, be
moved to join in we should be
thankful indeed.”

men
it,

THE METHOn

Beginning with the ﬁrst Sunday in
Advent, December 3, 1916. month by
month, each week has been assigned
to the Auxiliary in one or more speci-
ﬁed dioceses, grouping them according
to provinces. The Dioceses of Lex-
ington and Kentucky round up the
assignments in Province IV. Our dioc-
esan Pilgrimage of Prayer begins April
29th next, with the Third Sunday after

Easter.
I

In every congregation in this Dio-
cese, where it can be had, on the above
named Sunday, thare is to be a corpo—
rate communion for all the members
of the Auxiliary; or, if there be no
branch, then for all the women that
can be gathered together. The women
are to be exhorted, by those in charge
of them, to make, in connection with
this communion, the intercession s
which are stated below.

The members of the Auxiliary, and
all other women, are expected, indi-
vidually in their private devotions, to
repeat these intercessions daily through-
out the wieek whichithe above named
Sunday begins. Soﬁfar as possible also
let them be incorporated into Family

.Braye‘t’s.

II]

On one day at least in the course of
that week, each branch in the Diocese
should hold a special service or meet-
ing, for the one purpose of making
these intercessions; and it is expected
of the clergy, that they will give their
prayers and help especially to this ser-
vice or meeting.

With this end in view, the following
arrangements are suggested :

(A)

The six parishes and missions in Cov-
ington, Newport, and towns adjacent,
under the direct leadership of Miss
Scudder, diocesan President, are hav-
ing assigned to each of them one day
in the speciﬁed week, with the idea
that the representatives of the other
branches in those parts will meet with
each branch successively.

(B)

In Ashland; Beattyville and Proc-
tor; Corbin; Frankfort; in the Cathe-
dral and in the Good Shepherd,
Lexington; in Maysville, Paris and
Versailles, I hereby ask the respective
clergymen in charge, to take order
with the women of their congregations
for a Quiet Hour or a Quiet Day, dur-
ing the speciﬁed week, with any assis-
tance they may see ﬁt to secure from
outside their congregations.

I feel grateful to the Bishop of the
Diocese of Kentucky, the Rt. Rev.
Dr. Woodcock, for accepting the Rev.
Mr. Maxon’s invitation to hold a Quiet
Day in Versailles, Wednesday, May
2nd, during our Pilgrimage Week. It
will be most proﬁtable to the women
of all neighboring parishes to attend
Bishop VVoodcock’s services at Mar-
garet College.

(C)

Middlesboro and Pineville and Jen-
kins I commit to the General Mission-
ary, the Rev. H. P. Manning, for the
same purpose.

Louisa I similarly commit to the
Rector of Ashland, the Rev. G. Hen—
dree Harrison.

I shall ask the diocesan President of
the Juniors, Mrs. J. R. Cowan, of Dan-
ville, please to take charge of the Quiet
Hour, or Quiet Day, for Danville, Har-
rodsburg, Lawrenceburg and Nicholas-
ville, with the consent of the clergymen
in charge of the two last named places,
which I have secured.

(D)

I shall arrange with the clergymen
in charge of Cynthiana, Georgetown;
St. Andrew’s, Lexington; Mt. Ster-
ling, Richmond and Winchester, to

allow members of the VVoman’s Aux—

iliary, whom I shall appoint for the
purpose, to visit their respective con-

gregations, and to hold therein, for the
women thereof, a Quiet Hour or a
Quiet Day.

For this purpose, I have asked Mrs.
John W. Scott, 371 North Limestone
Street, Lexington, Ky, to serve as the
Organizing Committee, hoping that she
may undertake some of the services
herself.

(E)

For Grayson, and for isolated com-
municants throughout the Diocese, an
effort will be made, through Arch—
deacon Wentworth and General Mis-
sionary Manning, both resident in Win—
chester, Ky., to bring them into line,
by correspondence, with this general
movement. '

The Procession of Prayer began with
Advent: Sunday, 1916, and will have
made its pilgrimage throughout the
General Church coincidently with the
rcourseiof the Christian .Yearr. ending
in the province bordering on the Paciﬁc
Coast.

On the closing Sunday of the year—
the Sunday next before Advent, No-
vember 25, 19l7—all members of the
Woman’s Auxiliary throughout the
Church, widely separated, yet one in
heart and will, are asked to make their
communion together and offer unitedly
the intercessions of our Pilgrimage of
Prayer.

St. John 17:11.

from God the Father, and from the
Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the
Father, in truth and love.

And this is love, that we walk after
His commandments.*-II John 3:6.

CONCLUSION

_\Iow, my dear brethren and friends:
If you of the Clergy, and if you of the
Auxiliary, will co-operate with enthusi-
asm in these intercessory services for
World-Peace, Christian-Unity and Mis—

sions, you willﬁnd yourselves entering
into a blessed privilege, from which
you will never willingly withdraw. An
opportunity is offered you for a real
and powerful experience in your indi-
vidual and Church life. Who can esti—
mate the potency of these petitions to
God in the solution of the world’s
present—day problems, and in the bring—
ing in of His Kingdom ?

If you are but two or three, who
may be able to gather together, re-
member Who will be in the midst of
you. Recall also, in this connection,

the efﬁcacy of corporate prayer (Matt.

18:19, 20; and see the Prayer of St.
Chrysostom at the end of Morning and
Evening Prayer).

Perhaps, in the larger parishes, you
can secure the attendance of the other
parochial societies in oneunited and
splendid service of intercession.

I venture to suggest that, where
there are Junior branches,'it may be
expedient to have separate services for
the young people belonging to them.
I am sure that Mrs. Cowan, our dioc—
esan President of the J’tmiors‘,
delighted to co-operate in these ser-
vices in every way possible.

Miss Emery and Miss Scudder both
realize the immense signiﬁcance of this
movement, and are anxious for us all
to secure the‘immedi‘ate practical re-
sults that must ﬂow from it.‘ In each
of her letters, Miss Emery closes with
the earnest hope. that the Clergy and
I will ”help the women to make it such
a week of prayer as must bring bless—
ings on (your) our Diocese in all its
ways and works." i

Note that ”A Litany for Missions”
(Leaﬂet No. 51) and UPrayers for Mis-
sions” (Leaﬂet No. 50) can be secured
directly from The Board of Missions,
by application thereto at 281 Fourth
Avenue, New York City, in any desired
quantity.

The Rev. Mr.
Margaret College at Versailles, has
generously consented to make, on a
duplicating machine, copies of addi-
tional prayers, appropriate for the
services above outlined. Application
should be made directly to him.

Faithfully yours,
LEWIS W. BURTON,
Bishop of Lexington.

Maxon, President of
