THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CoNVEN-
TIoN.-The recert case of Rev. Stephen
Tying Jr., has, as was expected, called forth
some comment and action in the Episcopal
Convention now assembled in New York
On Saturday, at the commencement of the
fourth days session, the Rev. DR.. Goodwin OF
Pennsylvania, presented statement and pc
tition as follows:
There is a construction of Section Canon
II, Title 1, which forbids the officiating min
isters of our church, in any way, or under any
circumstances, officiating within certain TERRI
torial limits OF parishes other than their own,
without the express permission" of he min
ister of the parish, or OF majority of them, if
there be more than one. According to this
construction q minister of our church is for
bidden to ofilciate within such territorial linn
its, even in places of worship belonging to
other Christian bodies, without such permis-
sion. He is forbidden to ofiiciate, even for
his own parishoners, within such limits; and
he is forbidden, although he may be an agent
of some missionary or other society, and
without parish of his own, to ofllciate with
in such limits even at the invitation of the
minister of the church in which he is reques-
ted to ofhciate, il there be more than one set
tied minister in the city or town, until he
shall receive the "express permission" of a
majority OF such ministers. As to the ques-
tion whether this is the true construction of
the canon, your petitioners would here ex-
press no opinion, but simply stating Their
conviction that the canon as thus interpreted
is inconsistent, at least in some of its applica
tions with the reasonable liberties of the cler
gy and laity of your Church, would respect
fully ask that il may be repealed, or so modi-
fled as to apply only to unauthorized at
tempts at the formation of new parishes, or
to intrusions upon the actual acknowledged
and enrolled Pensioners of other ministers oi
this Church.

Devotional meeting led by Father
Wells, of Fairfield.
At the recommendation of the
Business Committee brief discus
sion led by Rev &C Shelton, was en-
gagged in upon the question "How can
christians exert a stronger influence
against intemperance?" Views were
expressed that all christians should
practice total abstinence; should use
their influence against intemperance
ministers should preach upon the sub
iect; there ought to be everywhere
open, earnest, temperance organiza
tions.
1t was proposed to make an effort
to raise $500, as had been done a,
Oskaloosa, for the Young Men,
Christian Association. About 500
of the amount was pledged, and thu
matter referred to Committee u
