PRAYER FOR PRESIDENT House of Deputies Replaces Present Petition Declared Based on Prayer for British King. By the Associated Press. PORTLAND, Ore, September 8.— Review of the work of the past three years of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States and plans for the coming triennium occupied a Jjoint session of the house of bish- ops and the house of deputies today at the forty-seventh triennlal con- vention of the church here. Ad- dresses were to be made during the day by Bishops Burleson of South Dakota, Tucker of southern Virginia, Brent of western New York, by Lewis B. Franklin, vice president and treas- urer of the council, and by John Stewart Bryan, proprietor and edi- tor of the Richngnd, Va, News- Leader. Bishop Thomas F. Gaylor, who has been president of the house of bish- ops and the council, had a detalled report on the work of the council, which was created at the last trien- nial convention at Detroit. Work Is Reviewed. He reviewed the work of the de- partment of missions, church sion, religious education, Ch social service, finance, publicit netion-wide campaign and the wom- jens auxiliary. The church pension fund, he said | reported that salaries of clergy du: ing the year 1920 were increased § 418,000, and during 1921 by a total of $2,415,000. during the two and a half work of the presiding bishops and councll the deficit inherited from the old board of missions had been re- duced from $920,246 to $567,291. The receipts for general projects applying on the quota for 1920 showed an increase of 117 per cent over the year 1919, and in 1921 the receipts on the quota showed only a slight de- crease from the preceding year. Finances Domestic Missfons. The council financed in large part ten co-operating organizations. The council, he said, also underwrote the entire budget of the continental do- mestic missionary bishops, causing expenditure in 1920 of $698,663, and in 1921 of $768,198, a5 against $230,696.47 in 1919, It was estimated that for 1920, in addition to the increase above, the dioceses for themselves increased ap- propriations for diocesan mission ‘work to the amount of more an 12,150,000, and the parishes for p jrochial work to more than $3,600,000. | The department of missions report- led having sent to the domestic and 97,00 ars of IS4 | foreign fields during 1920 eighty mis- sionarfes, in 1921 seventy-two mis- islonarie., and in 1922 fifty-one mis- i sionaries. New Prayer Adopted. Adoption by the house of deputles of a new prayer for the President of {the United States. to replace the one jin the prayer book, which was de- iclared to have been an adaptation of the prayer for the King of England, and rejection by the house of bishops of a constitutional amendment which would have given suffragan bishops the right to vote in the house of bishops were developments of the afternoon session. Action followed sharp debate. In the house of deputies there. was lively discussion of the new prayer for the President. The deputies took up a series of amendments to the book of common prayer, adopting certain changes in wording and rubrics. force the Hecla strait.
