BISHOP PARETS TALK 10 THE CLERGY Annual Diocesan Convention at WHAT WAS DONE YESTERDAY Speedos: The third annual Maryland diocesan con- vention of the Protestant Episcopal Church was begun yesterday morning in Emmanuel Church, at Baltimore. The opening service of morning prayer was conducted by Bishop Paret. He was assisted by Rev. Dr. J. H.| Eccleston, rector of the church, and Arch- deacon T. E. Gambrall of Curtis Bay. The Bishop's annual address to the clergy of the diocese occupied the place of the sermon in the service. The Bishop’s Address. ‘The address of Bishop Paret was in part as follows: “I must bring before you a subject with | very great sorrow, but under very strong | | convictions of duty. Almost ten years have | | passed since God called me to the office of bishop of Maryland. There have been div | sities of opinion and there always will be, | and so long as these diverse opinions do not pass the limits set by the creeds, the ar-) | ticles, the prayer book and the church's | other definitions, and so long as they are not | |in preaching or in practice forced upon souls as matters of obligation, such opinions are | | to be tolerated. But there are limits; there | | is a law. The Oath of the Priest. | “In the hour of my consecration I made | the vow to promise conformity and obedi- | | ence to the doctrine, discipline and worship of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America. And no man can | enter the ministry, even in its lowest grade, | | without d not in the form of | an explicit Oath, a similar declaration. |_ “These words are very precise and clear. | They set forth no indefinite standard. Every | bishop, or deacon is bound by them. | He may not substitute for them his own or | any other man’s ideas of what was true | doctrine, discipline and worship in the early | times, even if those ideas be founded on | sound historical studies, He may not sub- the needs of the present age. |, ““When the law is clear and plain and transgression comes to the bishop's knowl- | edge it is his duty to and to correct; to see that the law is Feapected. “I cannot understand the spirit of those who are forever carping at canons and rubrics, as if the very names were disagree- the church has been and is so careful, so | lovingly careful, in directing me; that it does not leave me to myself, that it has pre- scribed holy forms and tellf me plainly how to use them; that it has so treasured up for us, in tions, the fruit of ages I cannot understand who are dutning with desire to break through or climb oyer these pro- tecting walls of the church's love. The law is not a restraint to Mberty, but ite security; security, however, to those who obey it. | One of the strongest words used in holy | | writ for naming wickedness Is anomia, law- | | lessness, the defiance, the disliking, the dis- jobeying, the neglecting, the despiing of |law, and the modern name for anomie is anarchy. Short Services Deprecated. | “One of the pleas by which the demand for the revision of the prayer book was | gble. I thank God that we have them; that | the plea that it might be needed for the sick, or it was carried out of the church for such administration. And in these instances it Was just as clearly my duty to correct and to call for exact obedience to the church's command. ej grieved that in these cases the counsel was not received so kindly and in some cases was openly rejected. The law of this national church absolutely for- bids reservation; it simply and clearly for- bids the carrying out of the church. Mass and Confession, “There are other abuses which are grow- ing or being forced into observance which are most absolutely forbidden by the laws of the church. There are some who claim and teach that the midday celebration, which they dignify by the unprimitive, un- Catholic, un-Anglican and un-American name of ‘high mass,’ is for the priest alone; @n act of offering and not of communicat- Now.not only does the whole tone, the whole language of the service, and invite the people's reception; not only te the priest commanded, after ‘himself receiving,’ to deliver the same in lke manner to the bishops, priests and deacons, if any be present, and after that to the people also in order, of whose p2esence no doubt is inti- mated, but ih the revision of 1892 a sentence Was inserted to meet and forbid that very Practice of the priest’s solitary reception. “Besides thi there are those who, if they do not literally forbid, do practically and virtually teach their people that they may Rot receive holy communion until they have first made private confession to the priest. I have no hesitation in declaring that this forcing, as a necessary condition or as a permanent habit of what the church advises only in certain defined circumstances: and to meet special needs, is a corrupt fol- jowing of the Church of Rome. “Ts or “To meet and correct these perversion: order and violations of her = church’ Ws, and to guard in some other points the decency and good order of worship and the peace of the church, I have found it neces- sary in some instances to appeal in loving remonstrance to those so offending. Obedience to the Bi Refused. “In most cases the answer was all I could ask. But not so with all. In one or two instances where my kindly request was refused it became my duty to speak in more official manner and to make known, espe- cially to those of the clergy ‘mmediately concerned, and to all in the diocese, formal .an4 authoritative admonition apd judgment that they should strictly obey the law, which commands that if any remains of what had been consecrated it is nut to be carried out of the church, but must then be immediately and reverently consumed, and the other commandment, that if the holy communion is to be administered to the sick it shall be celebrated in the house where the sick man is. “But those warned read into the clear, plain words of the law their owa interpreta- tion of its supposed intention and of pos- sible exceptions. The bishop's authority was despised. Obedience was refused. The stitute for them his own or any other man’s | promise to follow with # glad mind and ideas of what woukl be better doctrine, dis-| will was f | cipline or worship for these later times and | “Even more painful and full of sadness than positive refusal 's concealment and evasion. To the bishop's injuaction in the very words of the prayer book, it was an- swered—first, that the bishop nad no right to issue such an admonition, and, second, that even if he did, they were not the law, for they did not carry out after the communion, but before the communion was ended. There is a manner of interpreting, applying or evading law which has rightly brought unpleasant meanins into the words Jesuit and jesuitical. May the Lord in His mercy preserve this national church from such casuistry and keep it true to manly Christian honor. {at is this open ané positive defianée’and this evasion of the appoinie! authority of the church which has made it my most painfui duty to speak of these things veus operly and plainly. 1 know and i sorrow for the pain and scandal which :nust come. (Madly, if my conscience would permit me, would 1 have kept silence.” Aa fons and Judgment. Bishop Paret announced his admonitions and judgment “that the rubrics and rules directing and governing the worship of the church are to be obeyed carefully, honestly and honorably; that the appointed services urged was the need for shorter services. Permission to shorten was called for, and it | was given, but it was given very carefully, | | and after fullest comparison of views. The | conditions under which the exhortation, | confession and absolution might be omitted | | were snost precisely stated, as were also the. conditions under which certain final prayers | might be left out. If these were followed, 1| |am sure the services would be found quite | as short as ts consistent with reverence and |Teality, and quite as short as the people | wish. || “But the hunger for abbreviation is not satisfied, and clergymen have been invent- ing for themselves ten-minute services as substitutes for the morning or evening | prayer. But the laymen and women do not want these very short services, | Brethren, when you @herten the morning or evening prayer by reading only one les- | son, or in any way without great reason, it | | 1s something more than breaking a rubric. | It is debasing the ideal and standard of true | worship. It is depa: from one of our most sacred and beautiful traditions. It is dishonoring the word of God, and under- mining men’s reverence for it. “Again, there was a call for new services —tor liberty to have something besides morning prayer, evening prayer, litany and holy communion; forms for special occa- sions or liberty to provide such forms or freedom in using the prayer book. The call was answered. New forms were provi-led and directions given by which a guarded liberty was granted for special occasions. “No prayer meeting, whether with written or extemporaneous prayers, is to be a sub- stitute for what the ‘er book calls for. So if the morning evening prayer have been said or are to be said, then, not | otherwise, comes permission for special ser- vice. But still, under conditions, it must be made up from the prayer book. The church adds one condition more. She is not willing | that the making and using and multiplying of such irregular or special services should | be left to each clergyman’s individual dis- | cretion or indiscretion. She recognizes the _ church as episcopal in something more than name, and defends the bishop's authority | and emphasizes his duty to guard the rev- erence and dignity of worship by declaring | all this subject to the bishop's directioa. Open Churches Every Day. “If, after following the church's own holy | order and using all her rich provisions, you | really need more, and your spiritual wants | are not satisfied, if your guilds and brother- hoods cannot tell their prai: and speak their wants by attendance in a body at one || of the regular services, which would be far || the better way, be sure, I beg of you, that || the need is a real one before you act, and, | | if you do act, let it be exactly as the prayer | book bids. But first try the churen's full order. Let your churches, especially in the city, stand open every day and all day long. Do not let the often needless machin- ery of multiplied organization so fill your | hours that you have no time to say morn- | {ng and evening prayer. The Communion Service. “But if there be any part of the prayer book more sacred than the rest, and to be more scrupulously studied and obeyed, it is the office for the administration of the holy communion, and yet it 1s known that under time, of frequent repetition, of crowded ;and irreverently mutilating and corrupting ' “The exceeding minuteness of direction is prenounced it tells you most clearly what must be done and what must not be done. they must not be carried out of the church; to correct and to require obedience to the church's clear directions. In two or three mained after the communion was reserved @ Dye | cither for use at a later service or to be kept in @ receptacie over or near the altar or with may not be abbreviated save under the con- ditions and in the manner set forth in the Book of Common Prayer, and thet other or special services may not be substituted for them and may not be used except under the same rubrical conditions; that if any of after the communion it shall not be carried out of the church, but immediately after the bene- diction be reverently consumed; that if the hcely communion be administered to the sick it shall be not with elements reserved from elsewhere, but, as the prayer book distinctly bids, it shall be with the celebration at the sick man’s house: Une of Incense. “And I do also make known,” continues the announcement, “that my official judg- ment having been asked by two priests of this diocese concerning the use of incense, 1 did pronounce, and do now renew my decision, that it is not permitted in this diocese of Maryland to use incense in or in connection with the services of the church.” Dividing the Diocese. In regard to the division of the diocese, the bishop said: “I omit here, ulso, the sub- ject of the division of the diocese. I have spoken my thought already very plainly, and I will wait for the report of your com- mittee and the expression of your views.’ Bishop Paret pleaded for aid to the House of Mercy in Washington, and asked that it be made a diocesan institution. The Stated that he knew something of its work, having known the patient labors in behalf of the fallen for ten years past. Administration of communion followed, and at its conclusion the business session was begun. Rev. Peregrine Wroth of Church of the Messiah was re-elected secretary of the convention, and selected Mr. John T. = son, R., as his assistant. The day sessions were taken up principal- ly with the reading of motions and resolu- tions, which were referred to committees without debate, and with the reports of committees. Special orders for today were made of the reports on credentials of clerical delegates, division of the diocese according to the re- port which has already been published, vestry and the election of bishops by a majority instead of two-thirds vote of the clerical and lay houses, which mode pre- vals only in the dioceses of Maryland and Delaware. wT Statistics present Bishop Paret showed that during the year he had con- firmed 2,284 persons, held 164 public and 8 private confirmation services, preached 184 times, made 192 addresses, delivered 40 lec- baptized 3 infants and 1 adult, consecrated 4 churches. In the diocese which comprises Bal! Washington, District of Columbia and all the counties of Maryland, save the nine of the eastern shore, which ‘are in the diocese of Easton, there are one bishop, 198 clengy- men, 173 priests, 24 deacons. During the year 8 clergymen were dismissed by letter and 15 received in the same way. Evening prayer was said before the night session by Rev. Arthur 8. Johns of Rock- = Md., and Rev. P. F. Hall of Catons- ville. Committees. Committees of the convention are: Rights of clergymen to seats—Revs. 14+ ward I. Engle, Joseph Fletcher and Charles A. Hensel. Elections—Messrs. 8. W.
