The whoie Christian world may well re- joice with the same deep feelings of joy and repeat in solemn prayer the words which you have spoken that “the confer- ence you propose wil be, by the help of God, a happy presage for the century which 1s about to open.” Surely “excessive arma- ments should be reduced, together with their crushing burdens"’ on the peoples. Your majesty’s recognition of interna- tional discussion and of the conscience of civilized nations will stimulate and encour- Right Rev. Geo. Herbert Kinsolving, D.D. age those great forces of Christian civil- ization which demand, in e of war, omé method of judicial arbitration to pre- erve “the principles of equity and right, hereon rest the security of states and the welfare of the peoples.” Your inauguration of this noble move- ment marks an epoch in the progress of the world. We earnestly invoke on it the bless- ing of Almighty God to hasten the coming of His kingdom upon earth. Motions and Resolutions. Motion by clerical delegate from Missou- ri, jurisdiction of northern California, Rev. William Ballard. Resolved, the house of bishops concur- ring, That the following be inserted among the canons of this church Standing order—Missicnary jurisdictions being in ul sense the wards of the church, are required, in order to obtain as »on as possible diccesan status, to for- ward to the board of managers of the General Missionary Society, yearly from every congregation, the collection at each visitation of the bishop, the same to be set art by the board of managers toward an endowment fund for the future diocese. There shall also yearly be a collection taken in h congregation for the general missionary ork. All funds of missionary jurisdictions not distinetly parochial shall be placed in the keeping of the board of s, and copies of deeds of all prop- all be furnished said board, and all all be reported to them yearly. No erection shall be undertaken in sionary jurisdiction. sible, there sha. be a yearly con- Right Rev. Chas. Reuben Hall, D.D. tives of the laity in each jurisdiction, the right to seat and vote being their unalien- able privilege. If five clergymen be ca- nonically resident, they shall have power to elect their own standing committee or council of advice, the same being invaria- bly composed of citizens of the United States. On motion of Robert Treat Paine of Ros- ton, a resolution was also passed providing that all peace resolutions now pending be- fore the house be referred to a special com- mittee to be appointed by the president. Dr Huntington introduced a resolution, which was referred, providing for the changing of title 1, in canon 18, so that all offerings received upon the occasion of the annu:l visit of the bishop to a church be divided in equal shares—one-third to do- Mestic missions, one-third to foreign mis- sicns and one-third to diocesan missions. Dr. Encs of Albany presented a resolu- tion, which was referred to the committee on canons, providing that the words “Prot- estant Episccpal’’ be stricken from title 1 in canon 22 of the digest, where the title page of the book of common prayer is for- mally recited, his object. he said, being to harmonize the digest with the title page in case the resolution introduced Saturday .to change the latter be adopted, A resolution was introduced and referred providing for the serving of holy commu- nion to sick persons unable to attend church, and making radical changes in the present system. Special Order Taken Up. After other minor matters had been dis- posed of the special order of the day was taken up, which was the consideration of proposed article 7 to the constitution. It created much discussion, and was finally referred back to the committee on revision of the constitution. Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, chairman of the committee, reported the following ag a sub- stitute: “Dioceses and missionary districts may be united into provinces in such manner, under such conditions, and with such pow- ers as shall be provided by the canons of the general convention: Provided, however, That no diocese shail be included in a prov- ince without its own consent. Dr. Dix supported the above, and asked for its adoption. There was a call of “Question,” “question,” but Rev. John J. Faude of Minnesota got the floor and made a general talk on the provincial system. Patience, Peace and Provinces. Rey. Dr. Taylor of Hartford supported the committee’s recommendation. It did not intend the establishment of a provincial system. It merely proposed to allow the dioceses to consider the question for three years, and he hoped the house would hand it down to the dioceses for its considera- tion. He hoped, in conclusion, for three things. “First, patience,” and then provinces.” ed this sally. aide Rev. G. A. Gibbons of West Virginia urged that the convention go slowly on such an important question. Dr. nport of Tefinessée, when a mo- tion, offered by Mr. Talbot of western M souri, was made to drder a vote in two minutes, took the floof' and ‘called the at- tention of the house to the fact that the he said, “then peace Much laughter greet- committee's article sought to change the fundamental law of the church, and debate should not be chi Palbot’s ked off.

The general convention, .he declared, was representative enocgh and able enough to enact measures which every diocese in America should reeognize and submit to, ard he did not believe the dioceses shor be permitted to decice whether or not they should be made parts of provinces or noi. A Test Made. In order to test the sense of the house Mr. Stotsenburg of Indiana moved to strike cut the proviso of the committee's article as introduced this morning, which provid- ed that no diocese shall be included in a province withcut its own consent. Rev. Dr. McKim stated that he believed it was absolutely recessary to the clergy of the church that there should be a court of appeals, and that it was claimed a court of that character could not be established other than through the establishment of provin He observed that several dio- ceses hed already courts of appeal. A motion was made to lay Mr. Stotsen- burg’s motion on the table, and by a viva voce vote it prevailed. There were cries of “Question,” ‘question, and in the chorus Dr. Davenport calied for recognition. “The gentleman from Tenne: n Packard. “Oh!” “Don't,”” tr said “don't,” said many Dr. resumed his seat: ‘The question was then put on the adop- “I decline to speak.” tien of the committee's recommendation. the vote being taken by dioceses and or- Gers, the result being as follows: Clergy— Ayes, 47, noes, 8; divided, Laity—Ayes, 42, noes, 8; divided, 6. New Article Eight Adopted. Dr. Dix then presented and asked the adoption of the following recommendation of his committee: Strike out article 7 of the constitution and insert the following as article 8 of the constitution: No person shall be ordered priest or dea- con until he shall have been examined by the bishop and by two priests, and shall have exhibited such testimonials and other requisites as the canons in that case pro- vided may direct. No person shall be con- secrated bishop, or ordered priest or dea- con, unless he shall at the time subscribe and make, in the presence of the ordaining bishop or bishops, the following declara- tion: . do believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments fo be the word of God, and to contain all things necessary to salvaticg, and I do solemnly engage to conform to the doctrines, discipline and worship of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America.” No person ordained by a foreign bishop, or by a bishop not in communion with this church, shall be permitted to officiate as a minister of ...s church, until he shall have complied with the canon of canons in that case provided, and spall pave also sub- scribed the aforesaid declaration. A motion, offered Hy Rev. Dr. Easter, was adopted to strike-out the letter “s” in the word “doctrines.’;, Motions to strike out the words “Protestant Episcopal” and others to change the phraseology of the ar- ticle were laid on the table, and the article adopted by a unanimous vote. The Prial of Bishops. Dr. Dix then moved the following resolu- tion o c Resolved, the house: of bishops concur- ring, That the following change be made in the constitution, afid that the proposed alteration be made known-to the several dioceses, in order that the same may be adopted in the next general convention, in accordance with sink 9 pf the constitu- tion, as follows: Strike out article 6 of the constitution and insert the following as constitution IX of thé constitutions: Constitution IX. The mode of trying bish- eps shall be provided by the general con- vention. The court appsinted for that pur- pose shall be composed of tishops only. In every diocese, the mode of trying presby- ters and deacons may be irstituted by the convention of the diocese, until the general convention shall provide a uniform judicial system. The decisions of all courts of first instance shall be subject to review by courts of revision or appeal, when the same shall be established or provided for by the general convention. None but a bishop shall pronounce sentence of admonition, suspension, or degradation from the minis- try, on any clergyman, whether bishop, presbyter or deacon.” A sentence of suspen- sion shall specify on what terms, or at what time the penalty shall cease. Dr. Dix Explai ; Dr. Dix explained the reasons which led the revising committee to make the change which he desired the convention to approve. He called attention to the particular im- pertance of the resolution. It involved an infinite possibility for debate, but he trust- ed on behalf of the committee that it would not be extended, as the general subject had been pretty well exhausted in the consider- ation of the former article, which contained the same germ, it might be said, as the arti- cle now presented. Rev. Dr. Richards of Rhode Island moved to amend the article by inserting the word “deposition” between the words “suspen- sion” and “degradation,” pointing out that in many cases where ministers were of €x- acting conscience and deemed it proper to give up their duties they were deposed by the bishop, and when it was announced that Rev. So-z had been “degraded from the ministr the general public, which read English in its accepted meaning, attributed something evil to the minister in question. A motion to strike out the word degradation altogether, made by Rev. Dr. Egar, was laid on the table. Dr. Richards’ amendment was then adopt- ed The Committee's Purpose. Rev. Dr. McKim of this city arose and asked Dr. Dix if the article under consid- eration would have the effect of limiting or changing the powers of diocesan courts of appeals. Rey. Dr. Elhot of this city, who had been called by Dr. Dix to the platform for the purpose of answering all questions regard- ing the proposed article, replied, explaining the exact intention of the committee. The object was to remove the question of th desirability of courts of appeal or the es blishment of provinces trom the field of existing discussion. The article would not interfere in any way with the present sys- tem of diocesan courts. The diocesan sys- tem would go on until a uniform judicial system is adopted. The r hour being at hand the chair stated that only time remained to receive announcements from the secre and me: s from the house of bishops The house of bishops in a ines nounced the p; zt of the resolution se- lecting San F 0 as the next meeting 1 convention in 1901. A motion was made by J. Pierpont Morgan to concur, and Rev. Dr. Cameron Mann of Karsas City seconded it. Re McKim of this anc city moved that ulendar for fur cons! cration, and by a division vote it wa ordered. Recess was then taken until 3 o’clock. Long and Lively Debate. Almost the entire afternoon ses: the house of deputies sumed in debate on the amendment to the constitution providing for the formation of provinces cut of the diocesan and mizsion- ary districts, and after long and spirited de- bate it was finally reccmmitted to the com- mittee for recommendation and report on certain amendments offered. The de rejected the amendment proposed b Bgar of central New York, limiting the Loundaries of the proposed provinces to state lines. An amendment offered by Dr. Huntington of New York was adopted, pro- viding that no province shall be so hounded as to contain only a fractional portion of a siate or states. Among those who took part in the gencral debate on the amendments offered included Mess! gan Dix of New York, Fleming of Florida, Lioyd of Olympia, Hoffman of New York, McKim of Washington, Weller of Fon Du ot sterday was con- ion Lec, Nelson of Virginia, Parks of Mas-a- | chusetts, Fulton of Penusylvania, Paine of Bosten and Rogers of Texas. ‘The action of the house of bistops in changing the golden numbers in the prs book. making certain corrections of. pi therein and presenting several copi the standard edition of 1892 to colleges agreed to. WOMAN'S AUXILIARY. Business Conciuded and Attention Given to Entertaining Members. The Woman's Auxillary, having finished the labors for which it convened in this city, in connection with the Episcopal con- vention, is furnishing most enjoyable en- tertainments for its members at the head- quarters in St. John’s Parish Hall, on 16th street near H street. shop Kendrick of Arizona and New o this morning delivered a short graphic address to a large au- of ladies in the hall. He spoke of his missionary work among the Indians of New Mexico and Arizona, and said that he hopes to reach them most ef- fectually through a hospital which is pro- jected for his diocese. In this effort he is ably seconded by a philanthropic woman, Miss Thackeray. He said he has found that the Navajos can only be reached by first getting their women interested and then by having the missionary work accom- plished in an indirec ¥, such as by min- istering to their bodily ailments and nec A meeting of the Bab’ neh was held at 10:30 o'clock, but only the preliminaries of organization were discussed. meeting will be announced, The Junior Auxiliary also w. a short time in an informal way Bishop Morrison of Duluth adGresscd the o'clock this afternoon.

She n and her presence in the hall w insure an unusuall large and __ brill: gathering of the auxiliary and its friends. Golden nuggets from Alaska, the gift of Alaskans who belong to the mission there, Were today presented to the auxiliary by Bishop Rowe of Alaska, and they are on exhibition in the hall. 3ishop Rowe also breught from the far northwest a box con- taining a number of dolls made and dressed by the Indians of his mission to be given to the auxiliary. The dolls are quaint pro- ductions of primitive artists so far as the painted faces on cloth are concerned, but the little fur and bead lined dresses ‘they wear would brighten the eyes of many a little American miss.

EDUCATIONAL MATTERS. Topics Discussed at Meeting in St. John’s Church, The Evangelical Educational Society met jast night in St. John’s Church, Bishop Whittaker of Pennsylvania presiding. Bishop Randoiph of Virginia, in his ad- iation opens the doors to the worthy who desire to enter the Christian and closes them to the unworthy. s the tone of religious thought in people and through it the old distinction between inat which is secular and that which is sacred is passing aw nd men and women are brought closer together in religious thought.

If every parent would strive to impress upon their children what the many that greater work could be What is wanted is Christian men crated from the womb to the great the ministry con: and the in the various tect lives and property and mainiain the honor and integrity of the nation, but far above all the church needs men who will consecrate their lives to the great work of spreading the Christian religion.

A meeting of the Parochial Missions So- ciety for the United States was held last night at Epiphany Church, the bishop of New York, Right Rev. Henry C. Potter, D.D.. the president of the society, presid- ing. Bishop Potter made a brief address on “Parochial Missions,” in which he said that the work is ouly one expression of the va- ried forms of religious vigor. It stimulates renewed action, rikes a fresh note and tses methods less formal than usual in church methods. Bishop Hall of Vermont spoke on “The Mission and the Missioner.” He urged the advantages of evangelica? work ef this characte nd outlined the manner in which the missioner should pro- ceed. the advance preparations of the church for his nd the added work SOCIETY. of the rector in of the parish after he has left.

He, too, counseled pidance of ationalism. THE LAMBETH CONFERENCE. Its First Suggestion Came From the Late Bishop Hopkins. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In the second column, first page, of your sue of October 8 I find the following: “Rival Claims. Archbishop Lewis of Canada, who fs {n the city, claims he was the originator of the Lambeth conference, although Bishop Hopkins insists that he was the prime mover. Secretary Hart of the house today was unable to throw any light on the subject, but he said he had heard that the proposition originated in Canada.” As two of Bishop Hopkins’ daughters and several of his grandchildren are in the city of Washington at this time it seems to them well that this erroneous state- ment should be corrected. It probably never would have been made in Bishop Hopkins’ lifetime. (He died in 1868.) I quote from a “Life of the Late Right Rev.
