And when we are confronted as we are to-day with instability and_when the spirit of change gets into the church itself it is well for us to pause and consider whether we are doing well to admit into the constitution of the church such a provision as this which is_proposed by the reverend deputy from New York and amended by one who has departed. from this world. The church in the United States has a unique opportunity and ought mnot to deal with questions purely upon an academic basis. I do not belicve for a moment that the reverend deputy from New York would introduce any question into this houge for the sake of change. T deeply regret that the spirit of chang should take hiold upon the minds of the Bishops and priests of the church, and that the great conservative and sound body of the lalty should be included in this spirit of change. I trust that until we are confronted with some greater hecessity than we are to-day we shall not vote for the passage of this amendment. Reg ing the proposed amendments Rev. Br. Mann of West Virginia sald: 1 find myself in s pathy with pretty much everything that has been said on both sides of this question; that is to say, I think we all want to maintain the conservative character of the church, and T think we all want to show people outside of the church who desire what the church can give them, that we will give them what they desire. But the admirable exposition of the deputy from Rhode Island left me asking the question, which I will at- tempt to make some answer to, What is the use of it? It has been stated, and I belleve it thor- oughly, that any Bishop in this church has a perfect right when a number of people in any little village say to him, '‘We are not ready to use the prayer book, we are not ready to be confirmed, we are not ready to receive the holy communion according to your order, but for some reason we would like to look up to vou as our spiritual father, we would like to have you take a certain guidance of our devo- tions,” we would like to have you send us a little' manual for our public worship, suitable to our conditions and our needs,’”’ why that Bishop can do it, and as a matter of course he will. MINNESOTA JUDGE IN FAVOR OF EXTENSION Judge Stephens of Minnesota expressed his views on the proposed amendment as follows: It will be perceived that the first article of paragraph 10 as adopted to-day differs radi- cally from the first article of the constitution as it existed heretofore in this respect. The provision now is this: ‘“The book of common prayer,” etc., “‘shall be in use in all the dio: ceses and missionary districts of this church.’ In other words, no Bishop, no priest, no deacon in any diocese or missionary district of this church may use anything but the prayer book. Volices: No, no, no. Judge Stephens expressed his views on the question as follows: 1 submit to your own construction of the English language, and to my legal brethren, as to whether a change in the constitution is significant or not. That language is significant, which =ays that it shall be in use. It either means that it shall be in general use, or it shall be used occasionally, or it shall be used universally. I submit that the fair construc- tion of it is that it shall be in general use. I have the honor to represent, in a very humble capaelty, in part, the diocese which was also represented by ‘the gentleman who proposed this amendment in the late conven- are willing to encourage those to come into the church you will adopt this amendment to the constitution. What is its purpose? Why, here is the old father and the old mother who understand their vernacular, they are deeply attached to it, and yet they are willing to go under the supervision of a Bishop, and here are their children coming to manhood and womanhood who will come into full communion with the church. I trust you will adopt that amend- ment REV. DR. CAREY FAVORS PROPOSAL TO AMEND Rev. Dr. Carey of Albany made a strong plea in favor of the amendment. In part he said: 1 should be very sorry, 'sir, to have this. amendment, this addition, fail. We are looking over the mere technicalities of the questio:. We believe that we are a church autnorized, appointed and sent forth by our Divine Lord, to go into all the worid, and to bring in ail nations, Let us for a moment look at this matier and see whether it Is dangerous, whether we have any precedents. What is the proposition is proposed that while people who' may wish to come within our borders and becoms loval soms of the church are in process of education, it is proposed to give them a serv fce which will lcad them up to the mountai tops, 5o they will have the greater outloo: when they are educated, and have full bene- fits of those who have been born and reared in the church, and who are devoted to our grand old liturgy and prayer book. ment, brethren, consider that it was the cus tom of the church In the earliest ages to hav varlety. Why, we have four gospels. We had in the eariy church as many as fifty dif- | ferent liturgies, different natios To-day_you will find in the Orlent ome used in the Patrlarchate of Jerusalem, and you wiil find another used in the Patriarchate to Constantinople, another in Egyot in the Cop- which were used among the For a mo- | tic church; and yvet they arc ail bound together | by one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one Go and Father. 8o, in the church in the e stages, through the Anglo-Saxon period, there was great varlety, and you know too, that there was no conformity to one use until after the Norman conquest. It seems to me that, on true principles of the Holy Catholic Church—Catholic means uni versal—that we are to bring into our bordcrs, by any lawful means within our pow natlons of the earth. NEW JERSEY DEPUTY AGAINST THE ARTICLE Rev. Rr. Carey was followed by Rev. Dr. Oberly of New Jersey, who said in part: The .passage of this amendment to the stitutlon seems entirely unnecessary so far as missicnary work 1s concerned. We have all the liberty and all the flexibility provided at present which Is necessary for missionary work. 1 speak not theoretically, because I bave had the opportunity of puiting It into practice myself, with the consent of more than one Bishon under whom I have served. It Is undoubtedly true that there are people to be brought into the church who are not acquaint- ed with the prayer book, with its rubrics, or who are prepared to use it. But the prayer book and the canons are quite sufficlent as they are, and there is plenty of fiexibility, and we need nothing more. In the Church of England there is mno cry for in- creased facilities in missionary work, and the Chureh of England {s more ironbound than we are in the use of its prayer book. It is not found that the prayer book has been a hindrance to the great work which has been all the on- He was followed by Rev. Dr. Parks of New York, who said: GIVES THE VIEWS OF RITUALISTIC BISHOP I had the privilege of coming across the continent with the Bishop of Fond du Lae, who exnlained somewhat to me. to my great benefit. “the conditlon of his diocese. He said, 1 think, that 7 per cent of them were for- elgners, and that it was utterly impossi for him to keep them under his spiritual dir tion 1f he were to cnforce the Book of Com- mon Prayer in all its particulars. He cited a French congregation where he told me he did not pretend to have common praver, but only in its essentials, And he went on to speak of the Swedish beoble, the Lutherans, for all of whom he had to make such nrovision es this canch would call for. Whether that will help the provision or not, for which I mean to vote, I.do not kmow. I thank the deputy from New York for assuring this convention that there are Bishops acting without this provision of the constitution, which answers the noint that we do mot need it, which has been made several times this miorning and which I made in 187 We do not need it, hecause the Bishops have that power. Then why not take this provieion of the-constitztion and emend it and make it safe and eound? If the devuties will turn to the journcl of 18°S they will see that the Rev. Dr. Huntington offered a very carefully drawn amendment to the constitution. If we are going to adopt such an amendment let us have cne carefully drawn and not one drawn in a hurry and acgept an amendment offered and acted upon inten minutes, as in the conven- tion of 157 Rev. Mr. Egar moved that the vole on this question be taken in ten minutes, and that those ten minutes be given to the Rev. Mr. Huntington to close the debate. The motion of Dr. Egar was put to a vote and lost. Deputy Stetson of New York moved that the session be extended until 2 p. m., which was defeated. Rev. Dr. McKimm moved that the de- bate go over until Monday morning. The motlon was carriéd and the house ad- journed until to-morrow morning. e e e S R R I S T ) MAKY IMFORTANT SUBJECTS, —_— Continued From Page Twenty-Three. It is very likely that separate Bishops wiil be elected for eacn of these districts. Massachusetts will be divided into two dioceses. A line will be Grawn on the east side of Worcester County, excepting the town of Southborourh, and thus two dio- ceses made where but one existed before this convention. Bostcn, a part of the old diocese, raised $100.000 for the new. It was also agreed to change the dio- cese of Indiana, which is now the south- ern part of the State, to Indianavolis. A committee was appointed to take in the whole subject of candidates for the ministry. On the committee are the Bish- ops ondealla's‘.

Members of the orga ization crowded the sacred edi- fice and listened to a sermon by the Right Rev. William Ford Nichols, D.D., Bishop of California. Holy communion was c brated by the distinguished prelate, who was a ed by the Rev. Mr. Weeden. The choir, composed of fair singers, ren- dered a number of beautiful hymns. | BISHOP NICHOLS DELIVERS SERMON The Bishop's s rmon was a_ description | of the Lord’s Prayer, and he took for his | text “The Power and Glory of the King- dom.” Bishop Nichols discussed tne rayer by phrases and dwelt on the geluly and significance of the words the lesson they taught. In part he sa One of the simple laws of our Prayer Book Mission s that of penitence preceding praiee It s founded upon a natural instinet of the heart. - When anything comes betwean the chiid and the mother there i nd srrow until there is forgiveness. but whenever anythinz comes be tween God and ourselves there is mo pea until our sins have been forgiven. This is very significantly brought out in the use of the Lord's Prayer in this office that we have en- tered upon. We use that praver twice, once at the very beginning and at the end. When you gather to your convention and bring to it enthusiasm, hoves for the church and the high and re extended development of the Order of the Daughters the King, you come with the proper spirit. Christ lies back of your organization—hc's back of ali your chapter's interests and all that you hope and do.

The secretary, Miss Elizabeth L. Ryerson of New York, sec- retary of the order, read a list of names of those who departed this life during the past vear.
