The addreos of Dishop tmiok con-
tained a brief summary of tho growth
of the Episcopal church in the two
territories during the ton yoars of
his episcopate and that portion of the
address Is givon bolow:
'As. this time in 1S93 this churcn
liuildlng was the only one of ours in
regular uso in either Oklahoma or
Indian territory and it was sraallor
and unfinished and on less desirable
ground. At Anadarko agency was
one disused Indian chaps1 lloro at
Outhrio and at Oklahoma City and
Norman regular Mrvlceg ..were w&ll J
maintained by tho Itov. C. W. TjJer
and the Rev. Q. P. Patterson the
brave and faithful young pion'tci s
who began our work In Oklahoma.
No services whatever had bear held
in the Fivo Civilized Tribe for sov.
oral years and no church people were
counted or rcpo.9V thore. The com-
bined population of tho two torrl-
torlos might havo boon obilmated
conservatively at from 800 000 to 350 -000.
The Chorokoe strip was unset-
tled as was tho Kiowa country; and
tha Choyenno and Sac and Fox and
rottawntomio but thinly sattlod. In
Oklahoma thro wore but) eight towns
that had ovor 1000 inhabitants and in
Indian territory not more than a
dozen. Todoj( tho lowest wise oati.
mato of tho combined population Is
from 850000 to 900.000 and thoro are
not lew than 7G towns of ovor 1000
inhabitants. So that when wo give
our present statistics and mark tho
contract It must bo with a sobering

moua increase also in opportunities
and responsibilities. As wo mark
the contracts then thoro can bo no
suspicion I trust of boasting. Cer-
tainly then Is no boastfulnoss In my
heart. We havo in the district now
33 churches and chapels as against
2 in 1893; 10 roctorlas and the blah
op's house whoro nono wero then; the
clergy now aro 15 as against thrao
then. Thore was but ono organized
mission then and twa other stations.
Now 28 organized missions and 17
other stations. Wo could then count
about 75 communicants and 30 or ;Q
Sunday school children; now thoro
are 1 242 communicants aud 713 Sun.

propttrty In 1898 was worth about
$3000 now $70000. The raJUo if

at loast one communicant for each
