several members here arose to say that
they would vote for both: ann
Ecv Mr.. Hyland, of Wheeling, could sec
M difference between the proposition OF
The Committee and that Of Mr.. Dashlell, eX-
cent that the latter went little more lh'o
| detail. The committee recommends the tu-
mission Of the church into the Diocese the
usual form is that Il church he aolni'tea ll''o
the Council.
RishoD Johns then submitted few re-
marks. He said that solicitude for the wei
fare of the colorcd race was no new lnlnS III
virginia. It had been manifested III this
/ State, he said, as he found it nowhere else,
and had existed here ever since he had been
connected with the Diocese. Fifteen years
ago resolutions looking TO the establishment
of Il separate church, under the care OF
the Convention, were adopted. keSoitl-
tons to the same end were adopted III
Richmond Immediately after the change III
orr nolitical circumstances. Then ut Alex
andrir the matter was brought to the attcn-
ton of the Council by the Bishop, and the
policy indicated here to-day was lnaugll-
rated. 4 great deal more than people gene
rally had any idea of had been done by the
Standing committee then first appointed.
Now, i'm regard to the church of st. Ste
phen's, there was a canonical lrrcSlllarlty
about the application which MAJ es 1t our
duty to decline to admit the church just
now. We cannot violate our canOnS, and it
cannot be expected of Us. In conclusion, he
did not hesitate to say that he thought the
substitute of Mr. Da>hiell met the case eX-
actlv. and "suilicent for the day Is the evil
thereof
Rev. DR.. Norton said that so far as he was
/ concerned it gave him pleasure TO accept
the substitute, and he thought every men,
Der of the committee would agree with him.
The vote was then taken, and the rcsolu-
ton of Mr.. Dashicll was unanimously
adopted.
Dir. Andrews resolution touching the
ultimate settlement OF the question was
then adopted.
