Standard Rook of Prayer. The president then communicated to tne hcvse the report of the Rev. Dr. Hart, cus- todian of the Standard Book of Prayer. The report was referred to the committee on the Book of Prayer. Joint Commission on Canons. The Rev. Dr. Hoffman of New York pre- sented the report on the canons by the joint commission on the canons. The con- sideration of the report-was made the order of business to follow the consideration of the proposed amendment to the constitn- tion, Memorials upon the death of several dep- uties were presented and referred to the cemmittee on memorials. New Law Respecting Marriage. The Rev. Dr. McKim offered a tesolutton to the effect “that the committee on canons be requested to consider and report to this house a new section to be inserted in canon 13 of title II, stating the marriages which are disallowed by the word of God and the discipline of the Catholic Church because of impediments of consanguinity an@ af- finity.”” The resolution was referred to the com- mittee on canons, A petition was presented from the dio- cese of Indiana praying a division of that diocese, It was referred to the appropriate committe The Rev. Dr. Taylor of Springfield of- fered a resolution reciting the growing evil ot divorces and condemning the same in the name of the convention, pledging the support of the house of deputies to legis- latton to correct the evil. Objection was made to the immediate consideration of the resolution and it took its place upon the calendar. The Rev. Dr. Fairbanks presented a me- mortal from the diocese of Florida praying certain amendments of the rules relating to the consecration of bishops. Referred to committee on canons. A memorial from the misslonary district of northern Cali- fornia, prayed the formation of that dis- trict into a new diocese. Referred to com- mittee on new dioceses. Objection was made to the consideration of a resclution favoring an international court of arbitration. The same fate met a resolution commending the disarmament message of the Czar of Russia. The Rev. Dr. Mann of Kansas City of- fered a resolution fixing that city as the next meeting place. It was referred. A resolution was offered by Dr. Daven- port of Springfield providing that the con- sideration of the canons on marriage and divorce be held in executive session. Ob- jection was made and the resolution went to the calendar, Message From Felipe Agoncilo. Dr. McConnell of Louisiana presented the report of the committee appointed to trans- late the communication received yesterday from Felipe Agoncilo, the Filipino delegate now in Washington. The document ex- pressed the esteem of the Filipinos for the convention and asking the prayers of the church in behalf ef the natives of the Philippine Islands, ‘their Uberties and wel- fare. The communication was referred to the house of bisho: 8 Constitutional Amendments. The house then Proceeded to the consid- eration of the propdsed dmendments to the constitution. The first amendment was the following: “Section 1. There-shall' be a general con- vention of this church ‘consisting of the house of bishops and thé house of deputies, which houses shalksit ahd deliberate sep- arately; and, in all deliberations, freedom of debate shall be alowed. Either house may originate and propose legislation, but every act of the general convention must be adopted by both houses, and be certified by the signatures ef the presiding officer and of the secretary of each house. “Sec. 2. Every bishop of this church, hav- ing jurisdiction, every ‘bishop coadjutor, and every bishop whoge resignation of jurisdiction shall have been accepted, shall have @ seat and a yote in the house of bishops. A majority of all bishops entitled to vote, exclusive of those who have resign- ed thelr jurisdictions, and those who are bishops in foreign lands, shall be neces- sary to constitute a quorum for the trans- action of business. “Sec. 8. The senior bishop of this church, in the orderof consecration,having jurisdic- tion within the United Saes, shall be the presiding officer of the house of bishops. He shall discharge such duties as may ba prescribed by the constitutions and canon of the general convention, or, for its own needs, by the house of bishops, and shall hold office for life, unless he resign or be relieved from that office by a vote of a majority of the bishops entitled to a vote in the house of bishops. The Representation. “Sec. 4. The church in each diocese which shall have been admitted to the general convention shall be entitled to be represent- ed in the house of deputies by not more than four presbyters, canonically resident in the diocese, and not more than four lay- men, communicants of this church, and having domicile in the diocese. Each dio- cese shall prescribe the manner in which its deputies shall be chosen. “A majority of the dioceses entitled to representation shall be represented by clerical deputies, and also a majority of the dioceses so entitled shall be represented by lay deputies, to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The absence of a majority of the deputies of either order of any diocese shall not invalidate the repre- sentation of such diocese, so long as there be present one or more deputies of either order. If any diocese be not represented, or be represented in one order only, such diocese shall, nevertheless, be bound by the acts of the general convention. “On any question the vote of the majority of the deputies present shall suffice, unless otherwise ordered by these constitutions, or unless the clerical or lay representation from any diocese require that the yote be taken by orders; and in all cases of a vote by orders, the two orders shall vote sepa- rately, each diocese having one vote for its clerical and one for Its lay representation, if present; and the concurrence of the votes of the two orders, by not less than a ma- jority in each order of all the dioceses rep- resented in that order at the time of the vote, shall be necessary to constitute a vote of the house: Provided, however, that if it shall appear that a constitutional quorum of the house has not voted, the presiding officer shall declare that there has been no vote of the house; and in such a case the question may be again put to the house when a quorum shall be present, at any time before the final adjournment of the convention then in session. “Sec. 5. In either house any number less than a quorum may adjourn from day to day. Neither house during the session of the general convention shall adjourn with- out the consent of the other for more than three days, nor to any place other than that in which the convention shall be sit- ting. “Sec. 6. One clerical and one lay delegate chosen by each missionary district of this church, or by a convocation of the Ame: ican churches in foreign lands, convened b: proper ecclesiastical authority, shall have seats in the house of deputies, subject to all the qualifications and with all the rights of deputies except the right to vote. “Sec. 7. The general convention shall meet in every third year on the first Wed- nesday in October, unless a different day be appointed by the preceding convention, and Robt. A. Gibson. at such place as shall have been determined on by the convention; and if there shall ap- pear to the presiding officer of the house of bishops sufficient cause for changing the place so appointed, he mi ppoint an- other place for such meeting. Special meet- ings may be called in accordance with canonical provisions of the convention. Moves to Reject. A recommendation was made by Mr. Stut- zenburgh to reject this amendment. He of- f21ed this motion, he said, because he was opposed to vnlimited freedom of debate; opposed to making the senior member of the house of bishops the presiding officer instead of a man selected for his fitness for the place. Mr. Fairbanks of California controverted the opinions of Mr. Stutzenburg. He said freedom of debate was an American privi- lege not to b2 contracted. Furthermore, the house of bishops should be permitted to choose its own presiding officer. ‘The hovse coneluded to consider first the title page of the amendments, which is as follows: “Constitutions and canons for the government of that portion of the Cath- olic Church known in law as the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America.” Mr. Packard Attacks Title. Mr. Packard of Maryland attacked the title at the outset. He objected to the ex- pression “that portion” in the clause de- scribing the Protestant Episcopal Church as “that portion of the Catholic Church known in law as the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States.” br. Taylor of Springfield agreed with the remarks of Mr. Packard. He said the title Was cumbersome, was not well worded and Was not thoroughly descriptive. The Rev. Mr. Nelson of Virginia also voiced his ob- jection to the proposed change in title. He said it was awkward and calculated to cause trouble hereafter. Both Mr. Packard and Dr. Nelson indulged in good-natured ridicule of the new title. Dr, Ralston of Rhode Island opposed the change in the title. He was followed by Dr. Moore of West Virginia in opposition. The roll was then called on the adoption of the proposed change in title. The vots was as follows: Clerical yote—ayes, 1; nays, 55; divided, 2. Lay vote—ayes, 1; nays, 53; divided, 1. So the proposed change in the title was rejected. Message From the Bishops. A message was received from the house of bishops announcing that that body had accepted the amendment. On motion of several deputies the house of deputies refused to concur in the action of the house of bishops. The house then proceeded to consider “constitutions,” proposed for adoption. The Rey. Dr. Fulton of Pennsylvania was rec- ognized. He said he found grave defects in the proposed amendments. He cited first the provision relating to the selection of a presiding officer for the house of bishops. That body should be left free to choose {ts own president. He said, further- more, it was monstrous to make the sentor bishop Mable to deposition without cause. He thought the representation in the house of deputies should be reduced. Amendment Rejected. The vote was then taken upon the ques- tion of adopting ‘‘constitutions,” and re- sulted as follows: Clerical vote, ayes, 1, nays, 46; divided, 4. Lay vote, ayes, 9; nays, 46. So the amendment was rejected. A message was received from the house of bishops announcing that the bishops hai adopted the amencment. The house of deputies refused to concur in that action. Moves for Substitution. Dr. Davenport offered a resolution that the committee on messages from the house of bishops be directed to present a new “Constitutions—I” and title. Mr. Stotzenburg of Indiana moved a sub- stitute to refer the amendments of the constitution to a joint committee of the house of bishops and deputies. The sub- stitute was voted down. The president then ruled that the committee on messages from the house of bishops was extinct. A motion was adopted to revive that com- mittee. The motion of Dr. Davenport was adopted. The house of deputies then took a recess until 3 o'clock. The Session Yesterday. The sessions of the house of deputies com- menced yesterday afternoon at 8:30-0'clock in Epiphany Church, when the meeting was called to order by Secretary Charles L. Hutchins. The roll call developed the pres- ence of a quorum, and Rey. Dr. McKim nominated Rev. Morgan Dix of New York to be presiding officer. He was elected and addressed the audience as follows: “Reverend brethrén and gentlemén of the house of deputies: For five suecessive con- yentions, and twice by unanimous vote, you have selected me to preside over the sessions of this house. I cannot express sufficiently my appreciation of the proof of esteem and regard you have thus given me. In my former yeare of service 1 have endeavored to discharge the duties of this office so as to retain the assurances of confidence and es' B you have given ing your action, I have deliberated with myself whether or not to again accept the Position of presiding officer in this con- vention. I had many reasons for declin- ing, but after reflection I decided to con- sent on one condition, and only one, and | that is that this shall be absolutely the last time that I shall preside over these conventions. It is better that some other man be chosen, and I desire it to be un- derstood in the most distinct manner that some one else shall be chosen for the next triennial convention. “In looking about me now I am again impressed with the make-up of this body, and, moreover, the secretary informs me that the delegation at this convention 1s vnusually large. Some of our members have passed away since our last conven- tion, to the spiritual house. The same thoughts, the same love for the church, the same desire to do a duty, and do it well, still animates those Itving among us, and with us here again today. The Capital City. “The convention meets this year in a notable place, in the capital city of the nation, with its national, judicial, legis- lative and executive power before our eyes. We note in the social world of this country an enthusiasm and awakening, a new stimulus everywhere. So may this con- vention not go home without some good work enthusiastically performed. 1 hope most sincérely that the three weeks will not pass in mere discussion of pergonal | opinion. The president of this convention should do nothing to influence its action. Absolute impartiality, sequestration, as it were, from the currents of opinion, is his duty in office. Yet he may say ‘certain Uiings, may impress upon you the value of time, may speak of the importance of restraint in speaking, and may refer to the charm of modesty on the part of new members. Let me refer to our old rules and traditions. May I predict a good, business-like convention, most useful in the history of the church? “With renewed expressions of gratitude and esteem I accept the nomination and I take my place, relying on God's presence.” Secretary and Assistants. Secretary Hutchins was re-elected, and nominated the following assistants: Rev. Thomas E. Green of Iowa, Revs. C. Mor- ton Sills of Maine, I. M. Woodsworth of Nebraska and Rey. White of Michigan.

The triennial meeting of the woman's auxiliary to the board of foreign missions occurred today. This Is the most impor- tant organization of women attached to the Episcopal Church, and its deliberations are attended by as many as 1.4) delegates. They come from every part of the United States and far away countries, such as Japan and Africa, where there are Episco- pal dioceses or missionary jurisdictions are represented. The revenues collected by these energetic workers amount the three years between e: 5,000, it being expeeted that abo: will be reported this year.

The thanksgiving service celebrated at 9:30 o'clock in Trinity Church, corn 3d and C streets northwest. It consisted of holy communion and an address. Bishop Satterlee was the celebrant and preacher. The great church interior was filled to overflowing before 9 o'clock and the aisles and entrances were blocked by the dele- gates and their friends in attendance. A great crowd of ladies stood in front of the church to catch the sound of the service within. Two huge vases of beautiful roses perfumed and beautified the altar, upon Which also stood the chaste silver imple- ments of the communion service, The vast audience stood when the organ began the music of the processional and the mixed choir in white vestments, the young women wearing black Oxford caps, entered the church from the north side. Bishop Satterlee, impressive and dignified, in the plain black and white robes of his office, with a large gold cross suspended from his neck, followed, accompanied by Rev. Richard P. Williams, pastor of the church, and Rev. Joshua Kimber, who as- sisted in the service, Mr. Williams reading the Epistle and Mr. Kimber the Gospel. The processional hymn was } . “Holy, Holy, Holy Land.” The congregation and choir sang, before the sermon, hymn No. 374, “Crown Him With Many Crowns,” and repeated the Vicene creed. Bishop Satterlee’s Discourse. Bishop Satterlee then delivered the ser- mon. He fervently greeted the delegates to the diocese of Washington. He said it takes years to bring any real reform to fruition. If the work is sensational it quickly is bruited around, but the things of solid worth are only developed by trials and wears. So it has been, he said, with the Woman's Auxiliary. Speakin of the work accomplished by the women he said that $63,000 had been turned In at the last gen- eral convention. “‘And so, I si thank God for the help the women give the church.”” Bishop Satterlee said it is well known that the Episcopal Church in America ac- complishes greater work in missions than the Church In England. He drew smiles of pleasure to the faces of his auditors when he said that women re as heroic and have the same fiber of character that runs through the men. Lesson Learned. “I have learned this lesson from the work of the women of the auxillary—the mean- ing of self-sacrifice. In all that they have done they have never spoken of the sacri- fices they have made, but rather of the joy and pleasure their labors have given them. This is true self-sacrifice, devoid of pride or seeking for reward. That is the Christ spirit. Self-sacrifice means unselfishness, means grit, means heroism, and it forms a large part of woman's character.” Hie referred to the great changes that have occurred in the world and in church affatrs, and enumerated briefly those labors and works accomplished in the Episcopal Church. “God has made America a witness of Christ to mankind. We may not dogmatize or declaim upon the events of the last year, which are fraught with the highest lessons of humanity of good to the world. He exhorted the women to look forward, not backward; to remember that the light from the new century {s already purpling the east, and to labor accordingly. During the- offertory the hymn, 478, “Holy Offerings, Rich and Rare,” was sung and at the presentation of the alms “Old Hundred.” A great number of the ladies received communion. The service was near- ly two hours in duration. Session at Rifles’ Hall. The general meting of the auxiliary oc- curred immediately after the thanksgiving service.
