Until then a generous Govern- ment had been responsible for the stipends of the Bishop and his clergy, but the time had come when they would have to maintain the work of the Church without state aid. Incumbents were permitted to retain their salaries during their lifetime, but a scheme of re-endowment had at once to be started, and at a time when local resources had dwindled to nothing.
74 THE WEST INDIES He went to England to raise funds for his crippled diocese, and... on his return; in 1870; he held his first Synod.
The Bishop used to call the Bahamas ' the poorest diocese in Christendom, ' and he mentions that one of his twelve clergy was in the habit of boiling his coat in logwood dye to give it a fresher look, because he could not afford a new one. The average district of a priest was about equal in area to an English county, and was made up of groups of islands separated by fifty or a hundred miles of sea, which the missionary had to cross as opportunity offered, usually in an open boat.
