Excerpt from The Mysteries of Providence and of Grace as Illustrated in the Story of Lazarus: Being Meditations Delivered in Trinity Cathedral, Easton, MD., In Lent, 1884 The frequent requests made that a volume of the sermons of the late Bishop of Easton be published, is a sufficient reason for the appearance of this little book. Those who read it may need no reason other than the book itself. It was his wish that nothing biographical should be published. Doubt less, therefore, it is more in accordance with the views he expressed, as it will be also more helpful to others, that there Should be published, not an account of his life, but rather the results of his mature thought, the fruit of a devout, poetic and sympathetic nature, which may, by the blessing of God, serve to elevate and refine many lives.

D., Bishop of Easton, in Christ Church, Raleigh, on the Occasion of the Consecration of the Rt. Rev. Theodore Benedict Lyman, D. D., Assistant Bishop of North Carolina, December 11, 1873 The Communion service proceeded, and the Holy Communion was administered to the Bishops and Clergy, and a large number of the faithful laity. After the services, the procession of Bishops and Clergy returned to the Rectory. It was much regretted that, owing to the unavoidable shortness of notice of the consecration, several Bishops, whose presence was greatly desired and who had hoped to be present, were unable to attend. But all who participated in these services were most deeply impressed with their solemnity and beauty All felt that this was a day full of hope and promise for the Church in North Carolina, and rejoiced that her admi rable and beloved Bishop was to be strengthened in his holy work by a worthy coadjutor.

Henry Champlin Lay was born in Richmond, Virginia. His father, John Olmstead Lay, was a native of Connecticut, a descendant of John Lay who was living in Lyme, Connecticut, as early as 1648. His mother, Lucy Anne Fitzhugh (May), was of old Virginia stock.
He received his education in his native state, graduating at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, in 1842, and at the Theological Seminary in Virginia, Alexandria, in 1846.
Following his graduation in theology Lay was at once ordained deacon by the Rt. Rev. William Meade, bishop of Virginia. After a short pastorate at Lynnhaven Parish, Virginia, he removed to Huntsville, Alabama, where he became rector of the Church of the Nativity. In this parish he was made priest, July 12, 1848, by the Rt. Rev. Nicholas Hamner Cobbs, bishop of Alabama. Here Lay remained as rector until made bishop. He was elected missionary bishop of the Southwest at the General Convention of 1859, held in Richmond, and immediately after the close of the convention was consecrated (October 23) in Richmond.
The territory to which he was appointed included Arkansas, Indian Territory, and parts adjacent. Hardly had he removed to his jurisdiction when the Civil War broke out, and the state of Arkansas soon joined the Confederacy. The Protestant Episcopal Church in the Confederate States was regarded as having ceased to be a part of the Church in the United States, and the various dioceses were organized into an entirely independent church. This was a logical application of the principle underlying the establishment of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States as independent of the Church of England. Further, in the application of the Southern conception of local independence, Lay became bishop of Arkansas, not missionary bishop. It was "states rights" in matters ecclesiastical.
At the close of the Civil War, Lay and Bishop Atkinson of North Carolina were the first Southern bishops to join with bishops of the Northern dioceses at the General Convention held in Philadelphia 1865 in reëstablishing the unity of the denomination which had been interrupted by the war. In the reunited church he became once more missionary bishop, but with his jurisdiction limited to Arkansas. In 1868 the Eastern Shore of Maryland was established as an independent diocese and to this charge Lay was elected as bishop of Easton, assuming office April 1, 1869. Here he worked until his death. He died at the Church Home, Baltimore, and was buried at Easton, Maryland.
Lay was the first bishop of the Diocese of Easton and one of the first bishops of the Confederacy who advocated the return to the national Church. He published Letters to a Man Bewildered among Many Counselors (1853); Tracts for Missionary Use (1860); Studies in the Church (1872); The Church in the Nation (1885), being the Bishop Paddock Lectures; as well as many sermons and articles on sociological topics.
