provoking many displays OF patriotism. II tha' can oo

Iu the address of the Rev. Dr. Fulton OF Alabama one
OF the great fears of the Convention was expressed
After acknowledging the Importance of such confer
ence he SAID "The Bishop OF Lchhelds address shows
clearly grand object OF tins intended conference.-the
establish Patrarohate in the person OF the Archbishop
of Canterbury. Ii the Convention Thought that meant

The Rev. DR.. Schenck said that the Convention OF

that the Church Catholic could not meet III harnOnOus

would swamp the American. Was 10 possible tnat tne
Colossus the American Church could be 80 swampedf
He could nothing at all to be frightened about
The somewhat heated d >cussOn, was toward the end
envened by substitute offered by the rev. Dr. ADAMS
OF Wisconsin as follows:

ground.
The reading of the resolution excited such merriment
Rev Dr. Adams at times unable to proceed.
The declaration tnat the American Church did not be-
long the Anglican communion caused loud OutDurst
The long discussion finally brought TO an end by the
adoption of a noncOmmItfal resolution by vote O los
