Episcopal Conuention.-The annual Con.
ton Of the Diocese of Easton, which includes
all the Episcopal Churches on the Eastern
Shore, numbering twenty-One ministers, was
held at ElktOn last week. We make the fol-
lowing extracts of Bishop Lays address from
the Ekton Democrdt
He began by reference to the sluggish con-
dition Of the Church iG the Diocese, but ex-
pressed the hope that the seed had been sown
Of which plentiful harvest may be expected.
He spoke of the efficient and Jealous efforts of
the Clergy, and regretted that the Laity did
not more heartily support their endeavors.
He referred to the poverty of the Diocese,
which does not contain church that cost as
much as twelve thousand dollars, and in which
not Clergyman is paid more than twelve
hundred dollars year. Both Of these facts
appearing in Diocese, where many church
men are men OF wealth and live in comparative
luxury, and all are endowed with means to
supply their temporal wants, the Bishop argu-
ed, indicated want of that devotion to the
Church upon which ifs material prosperity
greatly depends. The salaries now given to
Clergymen would not Justify men of family
coming into the Diocese to labor, even if
promptly paid, and when the fact further ap-
pears that even this small pittance is in many
instances ,,grudglngly paid, and in others not
palG az al the dlscouragment of the Clergy
"a Mnlg6I gG well account for the want of vitality in
Sae Gnurches. He aptly referred to the COM
1lneu snortslghtedness and shiftlessness OF
tne Maryland people, that allowed great ma
tenal enterprise to languish, until finally it was
taken up by the people of an adjoining State,
ana pushed to completion to Maryland s per
peIuS mortlhcatlon and loss, and asked if the
people e. OF the Diocese will be as sluggish in
tIe!r Cnurch interests, as they have been in
eneH railroad interests. 1--WE need schools" "
sSlu tne Right Reverend gentleman, "Dioces-
au SCHOOLS all over the Diocese, and if the
prosperity of the Church would be secured
