Ellison Capers, bishop of the diocese of South Carolina, was born in that state in 1837. The civil war broke out shortly after he graduated from the State Military Academy at Charlesten, and Mr. Capers, then a professor in his alma mater, entered the confederate army as a :najor. He was promoted, and in 1864 made briga- dier general. He was in the army throughout the period of the war, and was three times severely wounded. One of the first legislatures which assembled after the close of the war elected J. L. Orr, ex- speaker of Congress, governor, and General Capers secretary of state. While in this pesition General Capers began to study for the Episcopal ministry and soon re- signed his office and prepared for the holy ministry. é For twenty years he was rector of Christ Churen, Greenville, S. C., He was rector of St. Paul's, Selma, Ala., for a year or more, and for several years rector cf Trinity Church at Columbia, the capital of the state. It was whiie at the Coiumbia Church that he was elected bishop of the diocese. Before his election as Bishop of South Carolina Rev. Mr. Capers had been elected bishop and bishop-coadjutor of other dio- ceses, but these proffers he declined and steadfastly remained with the parisnes of his native state. Bishop Capers is a man of fine appear- ance and polished manners. He is elo- quent and forceful in the pulpit ind un- failing in his devotion to the work of the church in his diocese. F Two of Bishop Capers’ sons are Episcopal ministers and his father before him was a bishop in South Carolina. HOUSE OF DEPUTIES. Business Session Resumed This Morn- ing at Epiphany Church. Tt was a shivering assemblage that gath- ered in Epiphany Church this morning when the house of deputies met. Overcoats were in demand by the deputies, and the lady spectators in the galleries drew their wraps closer about them. There gen- 1 surprise expressed at the failure to have fire at least sufficient to take off the chill, and several of the less robust dele- gates were compelled to leaye. The re- newal of the discussion of Dr. Huntington's amendment promised to make things warm, however, and so auditors and deputies ke settled themselves philosophically to t its coming. During the morning business the commit- on rules reported adversely upon the olution presented Jast week providing that ladies be admitted to seats on the floor not occupied by delegates. In this connection a letter was read from the se of bishops asking the consent of the ¢ of deputies to the admisssion of the general and diocesan officers of the Wo- man’s Aux to the meetings of the Loard of missions, and a joint resolution to is effect Was pas request of Dr. Davenport a resolution passed authorizing the committee on to sit jointly with the same com- mittee of the house of bishops. Messages From Bishops. Messages were received from the house of bishops reciting the action of the latter at Friday's meeting, announcing non-con- currence with the deputies on several arti- cles of the constitution, and asking for con- ferences thereon. Rey. Hudson Stuck of Dallas, Tex., intro- duced a resolution providing for the ap- pointment of a special committee to pro- vide means to erect a memorial chapel on the site at Jamestown, Va., of the first Episcopal church built in America. Objec- tion was made to its immediate considera- tion and it went to the calendar. Rev. Dr. Nelson of central New York presented and the house adopted a resolu- tion providing that at future general con- ventions the meetings of the house of depu- ies should be held in unconsecrated build- Dr. Nelson explained its purpose as being to permit the delegates to express their opinions freely and to prevent in fu- ture the numerous irreverences which have, he sald, marked the present meeting. New Divorce Proposition. Mr. Francis A. Lewis, a lay deputy from Pennsylvania, presented the following reso- lutto: Resolved, the house of bishops concur- ring, That title 11, canon 13, be repealed and that in place thereof the following be enacted: Sec. 1. No minister of this church shall solemnize the marriage of any person who a husband or wife living, divorced for any cause arising after marriagi ded, that this shall not apply to t nt party to a suit for divorce in which a final decree has been entered; or if he or she shall file with the minister as evidence of such innocence a legally certified transcript of the record, showing a final judgment or decree of a court of record having jurisdic- tion of the subject matter, awarding him or her a divorce vinculo matrimonii on the ground of adultery, or if the party other than the one desiring to be remarried shall s that he or she has committed adul- or shall have alre be openly or notor nother man or woman, Sec. 2. ‘The divorced person seeking to be remarried under the provision of sec. 1 il make a solemn affirmation in writing that he or she not been guilty of adul- tery or of any collusion or connivance with Ss commission, which affirmauon shall be filed with the minister prior to the solemn- ization of said marriage. Sec. 3. From and after the time this canon shall go into effect parties whose marriage it Is not lawful for a minister of this church to solemnize, and who shall nevertheless be joined together, shall not be admitted to the sacraments of this church (except at the point of death) dur- ing the lifetime of the other party to the aforesaid divorce. Spiritaal Campaign Needed. Rey. William Ballard of northern fornia introduced for referen, mittee on canc and resolution: Whereas in our missionary jurisdictions the church's work is a spiritual campaign of supreme Import; and Where during the past thirty years the church's progress therein has been pain- fully tusignificant, such as would not be tolerated by any secular society; and Whereas in every parish of importance there are laymen of devotion, zeal and en- thusiasm, from infancy trained to the prayer book and the Scriptures, who with Proper commission to preach, though lack- ing special clerical training, could render glorious service for Christ and the church: Therefore Resolved. That the canonical ments for the deaconate or the priesthood be deemed in abeyance in the missionary jurisdictions, so that for the work therein a call may issue for volunteers, the rectors of our chief parishes being appealed to, that among this cohgregation they may be continually on the lookout for men full of the Hol: jost and of faith, who snpport their own parish, would in part provide, the church being thereby in some better degree enabled to mold and to bless the people of these extensive, promising, yet now sadly unspiritual regions. The following resolution was presented by Rey. Dr. Lines: Resolved, That the house of bishops be requested to take into consideration and to set forth for use where it may be duly licensed, if-tn their judgment it be for the best interests of the church, a book of of- fices containing services and prayers for special occasions, for which the book of common prayer does not make proyision. Chureh Unity Again. Several other resolutions were presented and referred, when, on motion of Mr. Will- iam D. Baldwin of this city, the special order was proceeded with, being the amendment to article 10 of the constitution proposed by the Rev. Dr. Huntington of New York, as amended, 14th October. Add to article 10 of the constitution the following: “But any bishop of this church, acting by and with the advice and consent of the standing committee of his diocese or mis- sionary jurisdiction, may take under his spiritual oversight any congregation of Christian people, not theretofore in com- munion with this church, which accepts the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed, and whose minister, having received Episcopal ordination, approved by the church, shall covenant, as may be described by canon, to use in public worship in the said congrega- Cali- to the com- S$ the following preambie require- tion such form qf giirectory as the said bishop shall set det and authorise. ‘Provided such ferm or directory shall contain or enjoin nothing contrary to the doctrine of this church, shall make provi- sion for the apostolic rite of confirmation and shall require the administration of the sacraments of baptism and the supper of the Lord the unfailing use of the words, acts and elements ordained by Christ Him- self; and, provided further, that no such congregation be admitted into union with a diocesan fconvention until it has been” organized ® parish or congrega- tion of this church in accordance with ca- nonical requirements, and until {t has been duly certified, Inysuch form as shall be provided by canor! that the Book of Com- jnon, Prayer is in use by such congrega- tion.” a Sat Intactory Solutien. Everybody apparentiy settled himself to hearing a continuance of the discussion on church unity, but the very interesting ex- change of epinions which characterized the consideration of thé subject last week was destined to be suddenly cut short. Rev. John J. Faude of Minnesota arose after President Dtx had calied Mr. John Packard of Marylend to-the chair, and of- fered the following as a substitute for Dr. Huntington's amendment: “But provision may be made by canon for the temporary use of other forms and directories of worship by congregations not already in unison with this church.” Mr. Faude supported his proposition in a few forcible sentences, and it was evident he had solved the problem to the satis- faction of the deputies. This was further accentuated by the buzz of approval that went up when Dr. Hunt- ington accepted the substitute in place of his amendment. Mr. John Wilkes of North Carolina moved that a vote be taken in five minutes, and this was agreed to. Rev. Dr. Eager moved and Rev. Mr. Faude seconded an amend- ment to add the following words: “Who are willing to accept the spiritual oversight of the bishop of the diocese.” The roll was called and the vote resulted as follows: Clerical, 55 ayes, 1 no, 2 divided. Lay, 51 ayes, 4 noes. The Substitute. The substitute thus adopted is as follows: “But provision may be made by canon for the temporary use of other forms and directories of worship by congregations not already in unison with this church, who are willing to accept the spiritual oversight of th bishop of the diocese.” Power of the Bishops. Rev. Dr. Dix, chairman of the committee on the constitution, then moved the adop- tion of his committee’s recommendation, 4s follows: Strike out article 9 of the constitution and insert the tollowing as constitution XI of the constitutions, viz: No alteraticn or amendment of these con- stitutions shall be made unless the same shall be first proposed in one triennial meet- ing of the general convention, and by resolve thereof sent within six months the secretary of the convention of every diocese, to be made known to the diocesan convention at its next meeting, and adopted by the general convention at its next suc- ceeding triennial meeting by a majority of the whole number of bishops entitled to votes in the house of bighons, and by a majority of the clerical and lay deputies of all the dioceses entitled to representation in the house of deputies, voting by orders. Rev. Dr. Hall Harrison of Baltimore and Rey. Dr. Egar strongly opposed the adop- tion of the article, taking the ground that its passage would prevent any amendment to the constitution, no matter how de- sirable such action might be, for a hundred years. Dr. Hartisow’ moved the adoption of present article? in lieu of the proposi- tion of the committee. Rey. Dr. Johm&lMott of this city said there was a grbat adeal of unnecessary alarm over the possitile restrictions due to the committee’s — retommendations, and stated that it woutd not change any power of voting by the/houve of deputies. Plain Words From Dr. Mackay-Smith. Rev. Dr. Mackay-Smith of this city sup- ported Dr. Harrison's amendment. He said, in beginning hig’ brfef remarks, that he wanted to put If to the deputies if they wanted the constitution. petrified. There were changes sometimes. desirable. Those made in the past-twenty years had been wise and effectiyé: The prayer book could not have been cHariged without them. But he warned the hdéuse that the afldption of the committee's Artiéle would place radical power in the house of bishons. “With great respect: for the house of bishops,” he remarked,“it has quite enough power already. Its power, indeed, has been steadily increasing and it ought to be 4i- minished.” In conclusion, he again warned the honse against “‘rashly” passing a measure that would almost absolutely prevent any changes in the constitution, Dr. Dix Explains. Remarks pro and con were submitted by several delegates, and then Rev. Dr. Mor- kan Dix defended. the action of the com- mittee. It was not its intention to increas» any power, but merely to place safeguar: around the constitution so as to prevent hasty changes in it. He called the at tion of the house to the danger of yi action toward the close of the convention, when so many lay and clerical dep ud left. The majority of the whole of bishops was previded for in order to 1 t hasty action on the constitution. proposed amendment was then voted ¢ : After further debate it was moved by a New York de > postponed until the other articles cf mstitution remaining to be acie , and by a division vote of noes the motion was lest. continued, and varrous amendments were offered and laid on the table. Mr hew Stetson of New York offered and the adopted a motion to strike out the thin six months,” it belng pointed out thai the validity of an amendment to the constitution might be affected by -he failure of a diccese to be informed of the Proposition witbin the specified time. fhe Article Adopted. ‘The vote on the main question and the recommendation of (he Committee was adopted, as follows: Strike out Article 1x of the constitution and insert the following as XI of the con- stitution: Constitution XI—No alteration or amend- ment of these constitutions shall be made unless the same shall be first proposed in triennial meeting of the general con- ion, and by a resolve thereof sent to ecretary of the convention of *very » to be made known to the dioc+san convention at its next meeting and adojted by the general convention at its next s.c- ceeding triennial meeting by a majority of the whole number of bishops entitled to yote in the house of bishops and by a ma- jority of the clerical and tay deputies of all the dioceses entitled to represertatior in the house of deputies, voting by crders.

Dr. Dix then rgmanked, humorously, that he had never knowp;what the possibilities of debate was unjil hig committee had made its modest repoy, He thon presented the report of the committee on messages of the house of bishops and reported the follow- ing resolution: , >> & Resolved, -The pange of bishops concur- ring, that th» folfowing changes be made m the constitution, and that the proposed al- teration be made “known to the several dioceses, in order that the same may be adopted at the next gen2ral convention, in accordance with article 9 of the constitu- tion, as follows: Strike out the title “Constitution, adopt- ed in general conyeption, in Philade!phia, October, 1789," and insert, “Constitution, adopted in genoral-convention, in Philadel- pia, October, 1789, as amended in subse- quent general conyentions,”” The American-Church. The expected amendment to insert the words providing for the adoption of th3 name “American. for the church came from Dr. Huntington of New York. Before it could be read by! the sécretary, however, Mr. A. 'T. Mahan, also of New York, pr>- sented a substitut2 for it, saying it was less cumbersome and covered the necessi- ties thoroughly. , He moved to insert after the word “con- was supporting his motion when the hour of 1 o'clock arrived, and recess was taken, with Mr. Mahan still controlling the floor. THE SUNDAY SCHOOLS, Joint Meeting ef Lecal and American Institates. The joint meeting of the Sunday School Institute of the Diccese of Washington and of the American Church Sunday Schoo! In- stitute, held in conjunction with the tri- ennial convention of the Episcopal Church, began this morning at the Church of the Ascensicn, corner of 12th street and Mas- sachusetts avenue, at 9 o'cleck. A number of delegates from the diocese of Wash- ington were present, and while the number of outside delegates was not large, those present represented a wide area. The meeting opened with the celebration of corporate communion for Sunday school officers and teachers, with Bishop Satter- lee as the celebrant, assisted by the Rt. Rev. Mahlon N. Gilbert, D.D., bishop co- adjutor of Minnesota, and Rev. John H. Et- lictt, D.D., pastor of Ascension Church Following this service, Bishop Satterlee de- livered an address of welcome to the dele- gates. The reply on behalf of the dele- gates was made by Bishop Gilbert. The business meeting of the local organi- zation was held at 10 o'clock, at which time the report of the secretary and treas- urer, Mr. John O. Johnson, was made. The election of officers was then held, result- ing as follows: President, Bishop Satterlee of the diocese of Washington; first vice Rev. A. Harding, rector of St. Paul's; second vice president, John O. Johnson of St. Andrew's Church, College Park; secretary and treasurer, Rev. Louis G. Wood, minister in charge of Epiphany Chapel, 230 12th street southwest; execu- tive committee, Rev. R. P. Williams, re¢- tor of Trinity Church; Rev. C. H. Eee president, assistant rector of St. Mark's; Rev. Griffith, St. John’s, Chevy Chase; S. Hutch- | inson and A. Y. Gray. At 10:30 lock the business meeting of the American Church Sunday School In- stitute was held, in the affairs of which, of course, the local organization has a say. After the report of the secretary an treasurer, Rev. Herman L. Duhring of Philadelphia, the election of officers of this gencrai society was held. Rev.

At 11 o'clock a discussion of the topic “Right Methods in Work” was taken up, Rev. T. B. Angell, D. b., of Harrisburg, Pa., opening with an address, in which he importuned all Sunday school teachers to first lay a proper foundaticn for their work and the rest would be easy. The teacher has in his or her custocy the character of the child in course of formation. Upon them devolves the responsibility for the preper spiritual training of the young— Whether they will be valiant soldiers or base deserters in Christ's army, whether good or bad citizens. ‘The speaker declared that the Sunday school teacher should dwell with the chil- dren on the life of Christ. He ventured to say that the average child of today wh:n catechised would show a more thorough knowledge of the life of George Washing- ton or of Thomas Jefferson and the lead- ers of the civil war than of the life of Christ. In Sunday school work we should not stick at the outside things, said Dr. Angell, what kind of service or hymnal to use, but must get at the spirit of the teach- ing to do the most good. “Our church will yet find one of its great successes in Sunday school work, in which it has hitherto been somewhat lax.” Other Addresse: Dr. Angell was followed by Mr. Hayes of the Pro-Cathedral of this who spoke of the Sunday school methods in vogue in his church. The work, he said, was divided and graded as in the Washing- ton public schools. Th eat secret of suc- s with children is to be simple and clear, gradually bringing them up to understand The great Cc. city, all the teachings of Jesus Christ. fault has been that the children’s minds have been overcrowded with matter of which they can understand little or noth- ing. Mrs. Ward of Chicago and Rev. Herman L. Duhring of Philadelphia also made short volunteer addresses. Mr. Duhring declared chat Sunday hools were alway: Leing conducted along the right lines when the best intellect, the greatest efforts most money are expended on the kinder- garten and primary departments. Dr. Larkin W. Glazebrook, a lay delegate, spoke next on the same subject. He recog" nized the importance of ing Sunday col work in the same manner as t cational work is divided in the public ols. Organization to me,” he declared, “is the most important thing in Sunday school work. If we do not have organization we cannot succeed. That being the case we should determine to have and should de- mand that some exact method be placed b: tore The teacher, too, should not be satisfied to know the children for half an hour on Sunday. They should kuow the children in their homes, should know their fathers and mothers, and if the barents do not know how to train their chil- dren at home the Sunday school teachers should teach the fathers and mother: More work can be done outside the Sunday school sessions than in the sessions proper. Then is the time to put in our best efforts. Another secret of success is small classes and many teqchers Rev. L. G. Wood of Epiphany Chapel de- clared than only when rectors and vestries can be made to realize that the Sunday hool is more important than the choir, in fact, the most important work of their par- ih, not until then will the Episcopal Church be able to say it Is as successful in this field as the other denominations. The Sun- day school is deserying of financial consid- eration. The superintendent should be paid. Other speakers were Deaconess Patterson of Elizabeth, N. J., and Mr. W. H. Collins of St. John’s Church, this city. Teaching the Teachers, next topic to be @iscussed was “Teaching the Teachers,” Rev. James 8. |e D.D., of Chicage. delivering the i. Lloyd, D.D., Newton, M: D.D., Chicago, IL Wheeling, W. Highlands, Del ington, D. C. us for our work. The opening address. No man or woman, said “he, should offer their services for Sunday school work who are not ready to show by his or her conduct that they really believe and mean what they say. To tell the boy he must be punctual in all things and then come into the school five minutes late means that the teacher may talk for an hour without making the slightest impres- sion. The teacher upon opening the school should always kneel with the children in prayer. The boys and girls may squirm in their seats and look around the room, ‘but they draw a soul picture of their teacher on his or her knees. They know what she is doing and are necessarily im- pressed. The teacher should not tell the boy to go to church and not go herself. The crowning thought of all teachers should be that they have in charge souls that are to reach their God. “No teacher need ever be ashamed to say to a scholar who propoun.is a difficult ques- tion, ‘I cannot answer.’ This will Save ..ore effect than to give an unsatisfactory or erroneous answer that will be discoy- ered by the scholar in after years.

Representatives were present at the mec ing from Canada, Colorado, Kansas, Chi- Missouri, West Virginia, Connecticut, New Jersey, central Penn: nia, Spokane, Maryland, Ohio, Kentucky, innesota, Virginia, California, Massach setts, Lexington, ew York, V ngton and many other dioceses and missionary jurisdictions. At 1 o'clock lunch was served in the church to the clerical and lay delegates to the institute. Afternoon Session. The institute was called to order again at lock this afternoon, Bishop Whitaker presiding. Rev. C. Ernest Smith, D. D., of Baltimore read a paper on “The Relation of the Child to the Church,” the topic after- ward being discussed by H. F. Fuller of PhilaGelphia and Rev. R. R. Swope, D. D., of Asheville. Rev. Mr. Casweil of the dio. cese of Huron, Ontario, Canada, was in- Vited by the institute’ to iiustrate the method of teaching by his Sunday school charts, At 3 o'clock the subject of illus- trative missionary methods in the primary department was taken up and short ad- dresses mad2 by Miss Lucy Jarvis, Rev. Herman L. Duhring and others. The institute will remain m session until late this evening, supper being served at the church at 6 o'clock. YOUTHFUL MISSIONARIES. Children Hold Services at Ascension Church Yesterday Afternoon. A greatsaudience of little folks attended the children’s missionary services in Ascen- sion Church yesterday afternoon. Every parish in the city was represented and the occasion was enjoyable in every way. Bish- op Satterlee conducted the devotional ex- ereises and made an address. He asket the children as to the amount of the last Lenten offering and told them of the part children have taken in the past in aiding mission work. He related the story of Pocahontas, who was the first convert in the first church In the new world, and said that the present bishop of Virginia is 2 direct descendant from her.

They use no water except melted snow and ice and only then for drinking purposes. as the Esquimaux believe that water is wasted when used for washing or cleansing pur- poses. They depend solely for subsistenc upon hunting and fishing. He told of ha ing known of Esquimaux being sold alive for $2 and $3 a pound.
