The religious house at Valle Crucis will henceforth devote its energies to the instruction of candidates, or those desiring to become candidates for Holy Orders. The importance of this institution to the Diocese is immense, as the nursery of a future ministry. It appears to possess peculiar advantages for this work, not only in the retirement, for the time being, of its students from the distractions of society, and the hardy and useful discipline to which they are inured, but also the great economy with which the work can be conducted, since $50 apiece, per annum, may be made to cover all necessary expenses, except those for clothing.

It has been placed under the charge of a highly capable Presbyter, and is supported in part by the self-denying labors of a body of young men who have literally left all for CHRIST. Still it needs the fostering care of the members of the Church.

New Jersey. Extract from the Bishop's Address: "Brethren, this is my sixteenth convention. I have been your servant, now, almost as many years. At God's command, through you, unthought of and undreamed of by myself, I came to do your bidding. I left for you one of the oldest and most influential parishes of our communion, abundant duties, a competent provision, my bosom friends, my children's home. I came to an obscure and feeble Diocese: one-half of which, I was assured by one of your chief presbyters, was dead and could not be revived. But I have never for one moment doubted that I did right; or regretted what I did. I have found the best and truest friends. A happy home has grown up to my hand. I have been favored with as wide an influence, and with as large a confidence as human heart could wish. And, best of all, the work of God, through his unbounded and unmerited benevolence, has prospered in my hands. The eighteen clergymen of 1832, are sixty-one; the twenty-nine churches are now forty-nine.
