A plea that Episcopal clergy join in efforts to rid the public mind of al- leged misconceptions of the ministry s A career for young men was made At the opening session today of the “Hout Conferences on the Ministry” that are being conducted at the Hotel Washing- ton in conjunction with the General Convention of the Episcopal Church. Rev. Harold Thompson of Charleston S. C. who made the plea, protested | that ‘there evidently is a widespread opinfon among laymen that “ministers are to be pitied. rather than envied." “Ours is a manly life.” he declared: “We have to take hard blows as well as give them sometimes. There is & joy of service In the ministry not exceeded in any other profession.” Need of Frankness Urged, Need of more frankness on the part | of ‘ministers generally in answering | questions by candidates for the ministry | relative to beliefs and disbeliefs were | suggested by some of the laymen in ate | tendance.

At the General Convention in 925 the House of Bishops adopted a measure allowing for reservation under certain conditions, but it was defeated in the House of Clerical and Lay Depu- ties.
