He was followed by the Rev. W. H. A. Bissell who was rector from 1848 to 1868, when he was elected Bishop of Vermont. He was succeeded by Wil liam Stevens Perry, rector until 1876 when he also was elevated to the episcopate, being consecrated Bishop of Iowa in Trinity Church. During the long rectorship of Henry Welles Nelson Jr., from 1876 to1 1902 many notable events took place in the parish; the chancel window in memory of Bishop DeLancey was installed; the Church Home was in corporated ; the parish house was built; the Church Home Hospital was established, from which the Geneva City Hospital may be said to> have sprung; and in 1896 the body of Bishop Arthur Cleveland Coxe, who had been consecrated in the church in 1865, was laid to rest under the altar, thus making Trinity a truly sacred shrine. The tenth rector of the parish was Charles Morton Sills who served from 1902 to’ 1922 when he became rector emeritus. It was during his long service that William Smith College, a college for girls connected with Hobart, was founded, and it was also during his rectorship that Bishop Brent became the bishop of Western New York and Dr. Murray Bartlett was instituted president of Hobart College.

No Parish Too Small to be Canvassed

At least half of the members of the Episcopal Church live in small parishes. More than half of our parishes and missions (4,1 67 out of 7,255) report only 100 communicants or less. Of the re mainder 2,167 have only 400 communicants or less. The Every Member Canvass must be conducted in these smaller congregations if the recovery of the missionary and parochial life of the Church is to begin.
