DIVISION OF THT DIOCESE OF ILLINOIS. ‘The annual Diocesan Convention of the Epis- copal Church of I]inols fs to be held in this city next month, Tho only question of importance to come before it fur decision’ fs; “Shall the Diocese be divided?” At present the whole State is one Diocese, and always has been sinco its organization about forty years ago. It has now 104 clergymen, besides the Bishop. Expe- rience has shown that where there are small Diuceses the Church grows much faster, slucu the Bishop has much more tine to devote to colng from place to place, atarting new stations, and getting new men to take charge of them, and more missionary money can be ralsed. Pennsylvania was one Diocese wntil 18%, when the weet part of the Stato was set of aud the Dioceso of Pittsburg created. Within five —_-years more money was raised In that Diocese for infesionary purpuses that in the old one before the division, Rutkequently the castern part was divided, and the Diucese of Central Pennsylvania established, with u Bishop located st ‘Reading, The saine state of aifaira, in proportion, was exhibited there, within tive years. Tho results of those segregations wero Increaced contributions, in- ereuscd church work, aud development of all kinds, This $s also true of New York, which now embraces within its Imits five Dioceses,and. of Oblo, wih u Bishop at Cleveland sud au- other at Clnelnuatt; and of Aisha Adivivion of the Diocese of Ilinofa has been contemplated since 1871, aud was in process ot maturing previous fo the death of Bishop Whitehouse, At the Diocesan Convention in that year two new ones were agreed upon, muking three in the State, and the proposition was laid before the Goueral Convention, sitting {n Baltimore, for approval. But, owing to a. construction tie upon the canons by that body, ft was decided thut the provision for the sup- port of the new Bishops wua not adequate, aa required, and the project failed, The General Convention incets orery Wiree years, and as the ext session will ba held ju Boston in October, and the Diocesan Convention In _thia city in September, the action of the Diocese, the Dishop,and the General Couvention being essen- tlul ta the creation of a new Diucese, the matter must be settled this year, ora iurther delay will ensue, No particular opposition is made to adivielon; all scemingly concede that {t is de- alrable, but there is a diversity of sentiment REGARDING NOUNDAIIES. At the last Dioccasn Convention a committec jus appointed consisting of Bishop McLaren, the Rey. Dr. Chase, the Rey. T. Benedict, the Kev. F. M. Gregy, Judge 8. H, Treat, the Hon, 1. B. Ole, and &.
