DIVISION IN THE EPIsCoPAL CHURCH,
The Episcopal Recorder asserts that a "sep-
aratiOn between the advocates and rejeOtors
of sacramental EpiscopaCy seems immi-
nent." This is owing to the assumption,
by Bshhps Lay, Polk, Green and others, of
"the absolute power of the Bishop, as the
divine representative, to govern his diocese
and alter its liturgy and government at bis
pleasure" In the exercise of his power,
the Bishop in the various seeding States,
with the exception of the diocese Of North
Carolina, have changed the liturgy, and
authorized the clergy to alter the service.
Against this assumption of power, the Law
church Episcopalians seem determined to
wage vigorous and persistent warfare
