TRIBUTE OF ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH, CHARLES TOS, To thc Memory of Bishop Davis. ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH, CHARLESTON, December 5,1571. The Vestry and Wardens, in regular month? ly meeting conveced, having transacted their usual business, embrace the occasion to com mfmora-e the death of the Bishop of the Diocese, the Right Reverend Themas Fredi rick Davis, lt ls certainly meet and proper so to dc. For al? though he h d LO peculiar connection with this church, he was the chief pastor and overseer of all thc churches within lils Jurisdiction. And he admlnls ered bis high and sacred office in such a manner as to identify himself with each and every one of them, and to compel heart rel: 1 .ve for the man, over and above the sentiments of respect and reverence which appertained to the ora. er. It would not be In keeping with the relation in which this body stood io the deceased to enlarge on his Intellectual gifts and characteristic?. Suf? fice lt io say, they were striking and made him a maa of mark: yet so controlled by natlre mo? desty, as to be almost unobserved, until drawn ont by the functions of the high office which was thrust upon him. But lt well becomes the occasion to meditate on his assiduous and tender care of his entlrecharge, and his devotedness to the ser? vice of the Shepherd and BWttop of our soul', so evidenced, and to bear testimony to the remarka? ble satisfaction and ^comfort which accompanied and recompensed his ministration*. At the time of his elevation to thc Episcopate party rplrlt, with Its natural fruit o? uncharita? bleness, was rife throughout the church. He had been only a few years In the diocese, was little known except In the comparatively small parish which ei.Joyed and appreciated bis services, and had never taken part la thc discussions In the dlucesau conventions; and when the office was conferred on him by a largj vote, after repeated trials by the panie* to elect their respective fa? vorites, he meekly expressed his accep ance of tr, saying he was .unable to do more, as he felt "sfunried as by a blow." But In a short time he exhibited qualities, or which thitherto he had probably been unconscious, an l lu ly justified the earnest recommendation of the few who had known him, In that respect, be ter than he knew himself. lu the administration of his tulycfllce he Im? pressed himself on all os one who, therein, knew "only Christ and Bim croclfled ;" and party spirit soo.i hid ha diminished head. Self osbertu n was foreign to his nature, yet on all occasions, when duty demanded lt, he spoke cut with distinctness, and with the authority that befitted bU position; and seldom has the cf. feet of moral Influence been more charmingly ll lastrated than in ihe various bodies connected with the church, whose deliberations he guided. He was calm, wise, and free from personal par? tialities, and confidence In him was enforced. Ia his personal intercourse, he was paternal to all his clergy, accessible and affectionate to the laity. HU? ardu us visitations were performed willi singular fidelity and exactness, and always hailed with pleasure by thc subjects or them. Until lt was rendered impracticable by public dis? tractions, he was always accompanied in theie visitations by some of hts clergy, and In this his characteristic impartiality was manifest-every one bad his torn. Thus, for eighteen years and upwards,in spite of j constant and almost unparalleled lil health, and of total blindness during, more than hair or the time, did he go in and oat among us in the dis? charge of his high and holy office. Three days ago he passed away-quietly laid down the cross to take np the crown prepared for him in Heaven. After repeatedly declining to do so, while he felt that it was not absolutely necessary, he at last, apparently with prophetic forecast, ex preased his desire to have an assistant; and only last May the Dioc san Convention supplied him with one-now his soccessor-in the person of the rec:ir of this church. Of him we can speak with know.edge, and we heartily thant: our Hea? venly Father that the holy office has passed Into hands In which it will not sutler detriment. Extract from t ?e Minutes. C.
