In certain lands, notably in the West Indies, the State had formed some kind of Ecclesiastioil establishment, and the Civil Governor was spoken of as Urdinary _; he collated to benefices, appointed and dismissed Govern- ment chaplains, and granted marriage licenses and nrobates of wills • but of distinctly ecclesiastical order, discipline, and government there' was no sign.' The place of honour among those few persons who rose above tho level of tho apathy prevalent in the last years of the seventeenth century must be given to Dr. Thomas Bray, who, having visited North Ainerica as Commissary totheBi.shop of London, and seen something ot the condition of the people, was instrumental in founding, in 1698 Orhin of . ^"^i.y, ^'''\ P^iO'^ioting Christian Knowledge, and rested t/,Ap.C.K,^'?\'^]'^ '^''^ "loved the heads of the Church to anil S.P.O. establish, in 1701, tho Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts.

"^ From 1702, when its Ci-st missionaries were sent to New England, onwards until 1784, its efforts were unceasing, althoucrh S.I\a and "".availing, to obtain for t]io newly opened lands the JJpiscopacj. privileges of Episcopacy. ^Jjfe fii-st English clergyman had landed m Virginia in 16^but 170 years elapsed before success rewarded patient endeavours, and during this long period while so many communities of British origin were growing to maturity in America and the West Indies, the Church had remained unoi-ganised, shorn of her ordinances and subject to every sort of disorder.'' Confirmations were unknown in our Colonies, not a, sanctuary was consecrated, and the clergy were either sent out from Jl-ngland or were brought across the world, at great cost and trouble to receive ordination from the hands of the Bishops of London, and of those who were thus sent to England one out of every five either died m this countiy or lost his life at sea. The death of Queen Anne put a stop to a project which had seemed near to its fulfilment, of sending two Bishops to the West Indies and two to^orth America; and from time to time the clergy in the Colonies solicited from the Crown, without whose consent the concession xT; ."i? J^ obtained, the appointment of Bishops, and were always told "that the present time was not a pro])er one, but a more lavourable opportunity must be waited for."3 L.nd'Bi'^hfoTd ""^ ""^ ^^^ ^'^"^ 2>c(Y'?(j//wPrt< of iU Colonial Eplscojmtc.
