SIXTEENTH DAY.
.s-... s- BALTIMORE, MD, Oct. 81.
There was an evening session from 7
P. NJ. to 10 P. n. yesterday. The COnven
ton wishes to hurry up business as fast as
it can. During the evening session, Rev.
DR.. Shand. of South Carolina. reported
from the committee of conference On the
system of royalty on the uymnal as pro
posed by tho House Ok Bishops. The
Hymnal is to be free TO the publication OF
oil responsible publishers. They are to
become SO by obtaininga license from tue
trus' ees of tho fund for the widows and
orphans of deceased clergymen. The
copyright of the Hymnal Ia vested in said
trustees. This shows that the royalty of
ten cents on the role of each HyLnnal, as
reported at the first, stands as law.
L
propriety OF having the House of bishops
set forth service Of burial for those who
are excluded from that in the Prayer Book
by the rubic at the head Of said service.
This was not acted on for the present.
There was u lengthy report read by Rev.
DR.. Leeds, OF this city, relative to the
movement going on in Italy. He COM
mended warmly the zeal of Rev. W.
Chauncey Langdon. This will come up
r., - Il 81
sion then went into the discussion of
! theological education. Ia waiting for the
order Of the day several resolutions were
offered concerning the work of women in
this church. Measures were comm ended
| to be taken as regards the formation CT on
order Of Deaconcsses. Che report con
nected with this was adopted, but as to
the immediate measures to be taken the
whole subject was laid on The table.
The committee on tho State Of the
Church reported favor!bly on the cxpedi-
ency of having Evangelist in Iowa, or III
any other diocese where s1ch work is
profitable.
The committee on Hvnnal reported the
CORE tions made. Several hymns have
been left out, others put in, and grAmmati-
cal and verbal cxpres sions corrected. 1t
was resolved that this Hymnal, agreeable
to the action OF the House of Bishops, be
received. Carried.
1t was resolved that an adequate number
OF the journals OF this Convention be print
ed, &C., &c.
Order Of the day called for, and Mr.. Nc
Grady, Of South IA DINA, has the floor
This gentleman Eeld Tho floor for nearly
an hour, and argued very lolTnedIy on the
adoption OF the Canon, with eomo atera-
| ton.
Several messages from tue House of
DIcl~ a :
present,as was also the order Of the day for
~ O'clock SO that the discussion on ritual
continues.
Mr.. john w. Andrews, of Ohio, spoke
most eiOquenilY and learnediy in favor OF
the adoption of this Canon. He said it
would be the very downfall OF everything
that smacks Of rItualism. If one Bishop
ruled thing Of Iitunl In one diocese diff
fering from that came thing ruled in an
other diocese, the whole matter could be
| brought before the House of Bishops -
Neither extreme seems to be satisfied with
the canon. Yet it may be brought about
that ali will agree in the general sense, the
Bishop OF the diocese being the sole Judge
of ritual. The extremists think that it is
giving to the Bishop too much power. A
delegate from Tennessee said that he
never heard Of High or Low church till
about 1871, when the Tracfar;ans of
pies of the church, Of teaching the Gospel,
and the Gospel only. This whole matter
IS being warmly debated.
The Convention is row sitting almost as
all hours. 1t is supposed that it will ed
journ on next Tuesday evening. There
fore if they come to any decision IA to this
question of Ritual, they Will have to be
more expedite than they are now.
