The Episcopal Convention.

PHLADBEPHIA, October Is. - Rev. Mr..
Cornwall offered the following: 74s
WHEREAS, In the preface of the book of
prayer, it is said that the attention of the
church was in the first place drawn to these
alterations in liturgy which became neces-
sary in the prayers for our civil rulers, in
consequence of the revolution; and the
principal case herein was to make them
conformable to what ought to be the proper
end of all such prayers, viz: that rulers
may have grace, wisdom and understanding
to execute Justice, and to maintain truth
and that the people may lead quiet and
peaceable lives, in all godliness and honor
and whereas, no such prayer was set forth
in the daily morning and evening prayers,
therefore, =
Besolved, That the House of Bishops be
requestedto prepare the prayer contemplated,
and to make it as full and, exact as may be,
apostolic exhortation; that supplication,
prayers, intercessions and giving thanks be
made for all men or kings, and for all that
are in authority, that we may lead quiet
and peaceable life; in all godliness and
honesty.
Resolved That the prayer, when approx
ed of by both Houses of the General Con-
yention, shall be sent to all dioceses, and
when notified, as provided in the articles of
the constitution, shall be substituted in the
book of common prayers, for the prayer now
in use for the President of the United States
and all in civil authority.
o On motion of DR.. Cumming it was laid on

LAKE COuNTY

The Sunday School Convention of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, Cleveland
district, was held in Painesville on Tues
day and Wednesday of this week, Elder
Wilson presiding. The afternoon was
devoted to hearing reports from various
Sabbath Schools in the District which
were of very encouraging character In
the evening the church was well filed by
the children of various schools together
with parents and friends. After the sing
ing of hymn, the Rev. Thos. Guy, Of
Willoughby, addressed the Throne of
Grace. Addresses were then delivered
to the children by Rev. Mr.. Gregg, form
erly of the Painesville Circuit, and Rev.
Mr.. Woodwork, of the Congregational
Church, which were very interesting and
listened to with close attention; after
which Rev. A. c. Tibbits, of Geneva, made
some very excellent remarks to parents
and teachers. The exercises were enliven-
ed by the singing of familiar Sunday
School hymns. Wednesday morning at 9
o'clock Ohildrens' Prayer Meeting was
held, and at halfpast 10 a sermon was de-
livered by the Rev. Mr.. Guy. The eXer-
cises on each day were of very harmo-
nious and interesting character, and we
cannot but think that the gathering will
be the means of much good toall who in
any way participated, and give an impetus
to the important work of Sabbath School
instruction. throughout the town and dis
tsict. . ls..
