REPRESENTATION OF MISSIONARY JURISDICTION.
Rev. Mr.. Mcnamara. of Nebraska moved to
take up the canon reported from the commit
tee on canons, admitting to seats In the
mouse deputies iIom n'osAo"iJ JuAi9ue''oAs'
which was agreed to.
The chair announced as the committee to
prepare fraternal address to the Disestabish,,
ed Church of Ireland Rev. Drs. Perry and
Adams and Mr.. McCrady.
JUDGE Battle, of North Carolina, being en-
titled to the floor on the pending question,
contended that to admit representatives Oh
missionary Jurisdictions would be contrary to
the constitution, and claimed further that
there was no necessity for such admission.
Mr.. Rupples, of New York, combatted the ar
guments OF Judge Battle, declaring that there
was no constitutional prohibition, and that 1t
will be for the good and the benefit OF the
church TO admit these representatives.
THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION.
The subject was then laid over to consider
the order of the day, which was the report Of
the Ioint committee on theological education,
as follows:
'The Joint committee appointed at the last
General Convention, ITO consider the present
state OF theological education In this church,
and the means for Its facllltatlon and improve
ment and to report thereon at the next Gen.
eral Convention ask leave to respectfully re-
port: ~.
attention OF this convention or OF this church
than that OF the training On our clergy. NO
age and no country has made or can make
cure the best results In this regard than our
own age and our own country. The commit
tee do not care to weary the conver ION with
details or arguments. They simply desire to
call attention to the immense Importance OF
the subject committed to them, and to urge
the necessity Of advancing Interests 80 vital
to the church.
"After careful delberatlon they have arrived
at the conclusion that the only effectual mode
bo raViaiOQ
the canons relating to holy orders and to or.
dination. These resolutions are OF small avail.
They repose In the journal OF the convention,
for The most part unseen and unheard OF, and
exercising no living, working influence on the
church.
"The committee, therefore, respectfully
submit the accompanying projet OF revised ca
mons, and recommend their adoption by the
convention
Rev. DR.. Hare, of Pennsylvania, said the
amended canons proposed By the committee
had been written by Bishop Nottingham. BE
might say that they met the unanimous ap.
proyal of the committee, and he moved that
they be taken up in regular order. The canons
proposed to be amended are from canon 10
canon 9, inclusive
Canon 2, as proposed to be amended, was
then read by the secretary, which provides
regulations as to the admission OF persons as
candidates for holy orders. as to the GROUNDS
of desire for admission to the ministry, attain
ments, character, the manner OF application
for admission, &C., attachment to the doctrine,
discipline and worship Of the Protestant Epls'
copal Church.
Rev. DR.. Hare said the present canon on the
admission of candidates TO the ministry was
almost unintelligibie, and the committee had
desired In the amended canon to simplify the
regulations, and to provide as far as possible
against the admission of improper candidates:
Rev. DR.. Goodwin, OF Pennsylvania, moved
to strike out ''postulanth wherever 1t occurs,
and Insert applicant" He did not think II
expedient that young men desiring admission
to holy orders should be met at the threshold
with these learned words, which are seldom
used. He did not think the inward desire
which might be felt BY any one for admission
to the ministry made him ''postulant.'
Rev. DR.. Hare said the committee had not
instructed him to be tenacious of words, but
he would say in reference 10 the criticism on
the word "postulant," that If any one deslr.
ing admission to the ministry knew SO iittle OF
the Latin tongue as TO be ignorant OF the
meaning of the word ''postulant," it might
well suggest doubts as to the sufficiency OF MS
attainments.
The amendment Of Rev. DR.. Goodwin was
then rejected.
[The Right Rev. Dr.. sHowson, Dean of Ches-
ter, here entered escorted by the Rev. Or.
LeeQS, anu was CUuuuClcu W eeoe oh enS
right hand of the president,
Considerable discussion was had as to the
proprlety OF requiring the applicant for admis-
sion TO receive letter Of approval from MS
spiritual pastor or rector before giving notice
OF his intention to the bishop of the diocese,
and 1t was said that rector might at some
time be in morbid state of mind and discour-
age those who might seek his counsel as to
entering the ministry. Finally an amend
ment, offered by Judge Sheffey, OF Virgl lnia,
providing that the bishop may, for satisfactory
reasons 10 himself admit the applicant to can
didateship without letter OF approval from
his rector, was adopted.
The house adjourned at P. NJ, with canon
two still under consideration. The amended
canons, as proposed, cover thirty-two printed
pages, and at the adjournment the fourth page
only had been reached. The subject comes up
again on Thursday as the order OF the day.
