By the Golden Gate

CHAPTER XI
20/30

There was also in attendance the Rev.A.Burtis Hunter, Principal of St.Augustine's School for Coloured Students, in Raleigh, N.C.In this Church Institute Rev.Mr.Hunter and his excellent wife are doing a grand work for the negro people of the South, on lines somewhat similar to those followed by Booker T.
Washington at Tuskeegee.

We also noticed at the Convention and Missionary Services the Rev.William Wilmerding Moir, B.D., the zealous missionary at Lake Placid, N.Y., in the Diocese of Albany.
His Missions, which have been phenomenal in their growth, are St.
Eustace-by-the-Lakes and St.Hubert's-at-Newman.

Under his sowing beside all waters, the Adirondack wilderness, in the field committed to him, is blossoming as the rose.

Never was missionary more indefatigable and self-denying than he, and his rich reward now is in the possession of the confidence and love of his flock.

It shows what a true and beautiful life can accomplish for the Divine Master and for the souls of perishing men, when the apostolic injunction is observed to the letter,--"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." This is indeed the true spirit in all missionary labours; and, thank God, it animates the Church in all its fulness, as evidenced here in San Francisco in the devising of methods for the extension of the Gospel of the Kingdom! During the last hour of the final session of the Convention, Rev.Dr.
William R.Huntington, Rector of Grace Church, New York city, a man whom every one who knows him respects and honours for his learning, his eloquence, his integrity, his character as a man, his devotion as a Clergyman, to the Church, and his love for his Divine Master, created a sensation by a speech which he made.
