ST. JAMES, BOLIVAR.
a resolution was adopted looking to a

church, Bolivar.
CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD.
On motion, the amended report of the
Co amittee on New Parishes was heard.
1t set forth that the committee had recon-
| sidered the application of the Church of
the Good Shepherd, Memphis and found
the same in due canonicai form, with the
exception of the required three months no
tice to the Bishop. But the Bishop had
said the prescribed notice was not given
him because this was his own work, and
the notice would have been equivalent to
giving him notice of what he had been
doing. a certified copy of the articles of
association was appended to the report, and
submitted. The majority Of the commit
tee reported that the application ought TO
be granted.
Rev. Mr. Parsons moved that the report
Of the committee be concurred in aud that
the parish be admitted.
Rev. Mr.. Vaulx wanted the matter 30 ar
ranged that the parish would be compelled
to sustain proper relations toward the Bish-
Op. He did not want any clergyman forced
into this diocese who would be in opposition
to the Bishop. 81 the Bishop is the head
Of the diocese he ought to be placed in that
position"
Rev. Mr. Hines said his views on the
matter Of building churches and selling
them out to the rich men Of city, to the
exclusion of Christ's poor, we're we'll known
70 the convention, aud If the members sup
posed for moment that he would ever con-
tribute TO the erection of a building for any
such purpose, they were mistaken. He
considered that the convention would be
doing wrong to admit the church unless it
complied with the conditions on which the
money was subscribed that erected the
uuiAulu6s OtAVl NIoO3 PiOhOuAASO hOAO1 OO-
fore God and man, that il is
A FRAUD UPON THE SUBSCRIBER"
Other remarks. were made by Mr.. P. G.
johnson.
The question having been called for, the
report of the committee was adopted and
the church was admitted.
LAY DELEGATE.
Mr.. Frederick Atwood was received as a
delegate.
Rev. Mr.. Vaulx gave NOTICE that he would
introduce the following, which he read:
Whereas, we are taught by the Church in
several Of her services to pray for Chris
tian unity; and, W ereas, there Is contained
in our formalties the
NICENO CONsTANTIEOPOLTTAN CREED,
with the interpOlated clause commonly
known as .fIiOgue, which was the principal
cause Of schIsm between the East and West,
therefore resolved, etc. He would have
the deputies of the General Convention
constitute a committee to lay the subject
before the conventions Of their dioceses,
etc.
