DR.. Haight then explained that the
amendment proposed to the canon by the
committee was designed to cover diff
Guilty which some ministers complained of,
that the supply of their pulpits even by
their invitation Is prohibited by the pres
ent Interpretation of the canon, which re-
quires them to obtain the consent Of the

| DR.. Norton, Of Virginia, offered reso-
luton to amend the Constitution by the
substitution of the word council" for
convention" wherever applied to the
General Convention.
Dr. Howe remarked that that subject was
already disposed Of by the House in its
action on the Georgia memorial
! The Chair decided otherwise.
Dr. Adams, of Wisconsin, asked the
ting the words ''Gfeat National Council :"
in place of General Council" Refused
by DR.. Norton. DR.. Adams then offered
these words as an amendment. He boosted
of the Protestant Episcopal Church's de-
scent from the Anglican Church, and of its
apostolic succession, which boast he has
made repeatedly since the opening of the
Convention, and he thought they should
stand upon their dignity as a national
Church. "General Council" he believed,
would be applied to world convention of
the Anglican Episcopal Church, and he
did not want to make such a blunder as to
call a national council general.
i Mr.. George N. Gordon, of Alabama, in
! al olIrocC nlarcoA TIM roc0ln-
ton OF the deputy from Virginia, and
agreed with the remarks of the deputy
from Wisconsin. He believed that the day
was coming when the Angio-American
i Church shall be the central point to which
Christians of all denominations will tend.
i He wanted the Protestant Episcopal Church
to be ready to meet them all. Ifthere was
anything non essential that they could give
to Rome or to Geneva, they should give it.
But he was opposed to the introduction of
titles or names that might be productive of
evils to his children greater than that to
which he himself has been exposed. The
deputy from Wisconsin assumed that there
could not he "generap' convention with
in nation. He denied that assumption,
and proved that such q convention could
exist. He therefore urged the adoption OF
the resolution offered by the deputy from
Virginia without tie amendment
