No on divorced for causes arising after marriage and. marrying again dur- ing the lifetime of the other party to the divorce, nor any person marrying a per- son so divorced, shall be admiited to bap- tism or confirmation or permitted to re- ceive the holy communion until the writ- ten approval of the Bishop shall be given; provided, that this prohibition shall not apply to'the case of the innocent party to a divorce for the cause of adultery, and provided also that the sacrament shall in no case be refused to a penitent person in imminent danger of death.” On motion of Rev. Dr. Mann of West Missouri rule 12 was suspended and it was voted to print the proposed measure in the bulletin of the convention and to post- pone action on it until the house had fin- ished with the canon on solemnization of matrimony, and then that this canon on the discipline of persons marrying after divorce be the order of the day. The last message notified that it had received a memorial from the Association for Promoting the Interests of the Church Schools, Colleges and Seminaries giving certain persons connected with such insti- tutions seats and privileges in the House of Deputies. The Bishops referred the matter to the deputles, saying that as it related to privileges of whe latter house it was proper that that house should take the initiative thereon. The message was placed on the calendar. NOMINATIONS FOR PRELATES Rev. Dr. Jones, chairman on the committee | — on consecraticon of Bishops, reported upon the nominations of the five presbyters to the mis- sionary Bishops, and asked that the conven- tion act upon them. The house will discuss the fitness of the men chosen t lorrow afternoun at 3 o'clock with closed doors. Rev. Dr. Huntington of 'w York, chairman of the committee on amendments to the con- stitution, reported upon various amendments. It found the amendment offered by Rev. Dr. Fulton to have certain words inserted in the dally lessons to be unnecessary. It reportea favorably on the resolution offered by a dep- uty from Nebraska to amend the section of the constitution relative to the election of a presiding Bishop, and asked the concurrence of the House of Bishops In the election of such an officer. The matter went on the calendar for discussion. The amendment offered by Rev. Dr. Gilbert of Springfield, fixing a time when articles of the constitution went into effect, was declared unnecessary, as it was already provided that an article of the constitution went into effect | when it was adopted. AMENDMENTS ACTED UPON. The committee also reported that the amend- ment offered by a deputy to have the vote | recorded by units was inexpedient, as was alsy the amendment offered by Rev. Dr. McDonald to article 10 of the constitution. The amendment to article 10 of the constitu- tion by Rev. Dr. McKim of Washington was acted upon favorably. The amendment offcred at the last general convention by | the Rey. Dr. Huntington relative to granting | a privilege to certain congregations to hold different forms of worship created no end of | Giscussion. In the end the matter was ordered to Eo on the calendar for action. Upon motion of Dr. Egar of Central New York the report, when corrected by the committee on amend- ments, will be printed and distributed among the members. Tev. Dr. Bliss of Vermont, under suspension of the rules, Introduced aresolution, which was adopted inviting the Bishops to meet with | tives @ APPOINTEES TO CONTROL MISSIONS New Board Nominated by House of B i SP ops. T was a qulet day in the House of Bishops yesterday. It being Satur- day and extremely warm, the ses- sion was shorter than usual. Dur- ing the session it was voted-to ap- point a joint commission of five 3ishops; five presbyters and five laymen to draw up and present to the next General Convention a canon on the ibject of provinces as provided for in article 7 of the constitution, with sug- gested provincial grouping of the several dioceses and -missionary districts of the church. The committee appointed con- sisted cf the Bishops of Vermont, Fond du Lac, Texas and Los Angeles. Bishop Morris of Oregon was requested to furnish the secretary with the manu- script of his sermon delivered on the opening of the convention. It is to be | printed and 1500 coples are to be distrib- uted among the members of both houses. The House of Bishops also adopted an amendment to title 2 of canon 5. It reads as follows: “If any minister of this church all declare in writing to the ecclesiasti- cal of the diocese or missionary district to which he belongs his renunciation of the ministry of this church it shall be the duty of the eccl stical authority to re- cord the declaration so made, and there- upon, ete." The Bishops decided to take up such portions of the proposed revision of the canon which they consider expressly ur- gent at this time. The House passed upon an amendment to the constitution granting Bishops who have resigned from infirmities or old age an honorary seat in their House. A committee composed of the Bishops of Dakota, Delaware and lowa was ap- pointed to consider the matter of pro- hibitive degree of marriage. A resolution was passed to have a joint committee composed of five Bishops. five deputies and five laymen to ¢ mpose th: Board of Managers of the Board o1 Mis- The five Bishops” appointed are presentatives of Virginia, Central Ivania, Lexington and Washing- the deputies at 12 m. for consideratlon of the subject of Christian education. A message was received from the House of otifying the deputies of the adoption olution to amend article 11, section 2 onstitution, making it read as follows: " “Bishcp of this church having juris- i every BDishop coadjutor and every lishop who by reason of advanced age or bodily Infirmity has resigned his jurisdiction, ghall have a seat and a vote in the House of Jishops. A majority of all Bishops entitled o vote, exclusive of foreign missionary Bish- ops and of Bishops who have resigned their Jurisdictions, <hall be necessary to constitute a guorum for the transaction of business. A seccnd message from the House of Bishops notified the deputies of the adoption of a reso- lution for the appointment of a joint commit- tee of five Bishops, five presbyters and five laymen to nominate a board of managers of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society and members of the Misslonary Council, and they hal appointed us thelr representa- such committ the Bis!@os of Mon- tana, Central Pennsvlvania, LeMngton and Washington and the Bishop Coadjutor of Vir- ginia.

Cameras Are Used to Seeure Souvenirs of BisHor DLUBLEY OF KENTULCE > N glorious weather the members of the General Convention of the Epis- copal Church enjoyed a trip ves- terday afternoon around the Bay of San Francisco as the guests of the Southern Pacific Railrpad Company and a more joyous gathering has never been seen on board the ferryboat Berkeley. The hour of departure was 2:30 p. m and it is estimated that fully 1400 people ac- cepted the invitation of the railroad com- pany. The ferryboat Berkeley looked spick and span in new coats of paint and whitened decks and the visitors comment- ed on the beauty of the commodious bay vessel. The affair was free from all restraint and Bishops, distinguished clergymen and lay deputies to the convention assumed an air more in keeping with a picnic gath- ering. The ladies of the party were gen- erally envied by their somber-garbed com- panions, for the fair ones, with few excep- tions, had donned shirt waists on account of the hot weather. There were enough cameéras and kodaks in the party to fit out a good-sized store and pretty views of the scemery around the bay will be taken to far distant homes as souvenirs of yesterday afternoon’s out- ing. Fhe ratiroad company was representea by Willam Mg¢Murray of the information bureau; T. L. Frazier, superintendent of the Western division; H. R. Braden of the passenger department and K. A. White, steamer agent. The railroad officials re- ceived their guests at the gangplank of the ferryboat and all were told to “make themselves at home.” An orchestra was on board and dis- coursed music, which was not entirely of a sacred character. Huge bowls of iced lemonade were placed in charge of attend- ants on the lower deck and the clerical gentlemen seemed to enjoy the task of car- rying the cooling drink In glasses to their fair companions and relatives, seated on the upper deck. The Berkeley went along the water front in the direction of the Union Iron Works and to Hunters Point, then turned and made a wide detour for the Marin shore, passed_Angel Island, went through the Raccoon Straits, passing Tiburon and Belvedere and came back by Alcatraz, the Presidio shore and North Beach. The various points of interest were pointed out to the visitors and many ex- clamations of delight were heard on all sides. The bay trip lasted two jours and a half and the guests expressed them- selves as being under obligations to the railroad company for a delightful outing. ings, presented as the action of the commit- tee named the following resolution: “‘Resclved, That the report of the marginal readings committee be accepted and the read ings therein recommended be adopted whic are taken from the margin of King James version or from the English and American re vised versions with their margins, and that the commission be allowed before printing their readings to substitute for those not taken from ore or the other of these sources others taken vnchanged therefrom.’” Rev. Dr. McKim of Washington moved that this house accede to_the resolution. Rev. Dr. Alsop of Long Island arose to pro- pose an amendment, but being prevented by a Daint of order sald In explaining his purpose “I think our commission has been treated with marked diseourtesy. We have had a commis- sion aprointed for six years its b work. It has come here with a rep whic from veny many has recefved Very highest commendation. I am not pr pared to ¥ f course, that the house bound to house is at least bound to give it the cour- teay of a vote, and it was to that end that I wanted to move something that would allow the house to vote. 1If that vote is adverse I am heartily prepared to vote for the proposi tion which has been brought in by the com- mittee of conference.' Rev. Dr. Eccleson of Maryland disavowed any such intentional discourtesy and asked the ouse to say If any such discourtesy had been shown the committee. The chair ruled that the only question be- fore the house was on the question of agree- iag o disagreeing to the report MORGAN MAKES A MOTION. Delegate J. Plerpont Morgan on behalf of New York, seconded by a delegate from North Carolina, demanded that the vote be taken by It has been doing rt 2 is ept what it has done, but the dloceses and orders. The vote was so taken and resulted almost unanimously in the af- firmative, there being only four tcal and three lay votes in the negative. A message from the House of Bishops noti- fied the House of Deputies that its message had been recived and that the prelates would attend the session at noon to discuss the sub- ject of Christian education. APOCRYPHA ADOPTED. Dr. Re Grammer at this stage renewed his motion go have the report of the committee o the dpocrypha adopted. He asked to have the rules of the house suspended su that he might take It from the calendar. By a two-thirds vote of the house the reso- Continued on Page Twenty-Four,
