Is pleased that a Prayer Book and Tract Society has been established at Albany. Though he believes the Bible Society should distribute Bibles without notes, etc., it is desirable that the Episcopal Church be well supplied with prayer books. Has read the sermon urging the observance of all holy days and saints' days appointed by the church. In his opinion some, but not all of them should be kept. If an edition of the prayer book is printed, hopes the paper will not be of inferior quality.
