Closing Remarks
By the
RT. REV. G. ASHTON OLDHAM, D.D.
Bishop Coadjutor of Albany

I have asked that I might be given the privilege of just a moment. I want to make my own, if I may, the words of St. Peter on this very significant occasion. It is good for us to be here. I wanted before leaving to keep an engagement out of town of long standing, to say just a word on behalf of the Diocese.

Bishop Nelson is indisposed because of a slight cold, nothing serious. While I have no direct message from him I know I am expressing his thoughts and his feelings as well as my own. I thank you for coming and I want to tell you that you have brought with you a blessing. I wish more of the members of the Diocese had been able to share it. You may be interested to know there have been in attendance here a great many of our clergy whom I have seen, and a great many of the laity without any regard to their position as churchmen.
