The Earl of Dudley, who is better known

party by large majority, gained victory by
large vote on an apparently trivial but really

that the Church consisted of three orders
bishops. priests, and laymen. The vote was to
change "priests" to ''priests or presbyters:" the
object of the alternate phraseology being to do
away with the sacrifcial aspect of the word
''priest."

nounced anti-slayery man as DR.. Lord was con-
nected with it.
