The Episcopal Convention.

At the session of the Protestant Episcopal
Convention, in New York, on Saturday, the
committee of conference appointed by the
House of Bishops and the House of Delegates,
reported the amended Canon on Ritual, and it
was finally passed. The canon, as amended,
is, 10 its main provisions, the same as at first
reported and passed by the House of Delegates.
The two first specifications OF practices forbid
den, the use OF cruclixes aud OF incense during
the celebration Of the Sacrament, are stricken
out and some slight verbal alterations uade.
1t was explained in the debate preceding the
action Of the House that the striking cut OF the
specifications Was not to be taken as approving
OF the use Of incense or of crucl6xcs but TO sat
isfy the couscicnces of those who could not vote
for canon that declared such use symbolcal
OF false doctrine. The vote 90 the adoption OF
the amended cauon in the House OF Delegates
was as large as when the canon was hrSt acted
upon. The proposition to add rublc TO the
baptsmal service allowing the munster dis
erection in the use of the prayers In which the
word ''regenerate' occurs, was discussed and
finally rejected by large majority. The amend
lnent to the Constitution Of the Church louk-
ing to the providing of shortened form of
morning and evening prayer was adopted ibis
has TO be acted upon by succeeding general
