IIigI, and Low Controversy.

WAsIIlSGToN, d. c., June 2.-The old
quarrel between high and low church has
been revived in the Episcopal convention
which met in Baltimore, few days ago.
An extreme ritualist in this city known
rs "Father ITobbie" has been trying to
get his "ITOly Catholic Church, rs he
calls it, recognized as church, but the
lay members Of the convention refused
his request. The clergy were generally
strongly in favor Of granting the appli-
cation. Montgomery Blair was q dele.
gate, and he was quite bitter in his oppo.
sition to Father iIobbie and rituaIism.
So was Bowie Davis, Of Maryland, who
said that his ancestors founded the Prot.
estant Episcopal Church in Maryland,
and was proud Of It, but he didn't wish
to have anything to do with Father
Hobbies style Of worship. In Virginia
and Maryland, most Of the laity In the
Episcopal Church are low church, but q
majority Of the clergy incline to ritnalism,
One Of their chiefs Is Rev. Vaughn
Lewis of this city, who Is contributor
to the Independent lie Is man Of fine
talents, but the conservative members Of
his church think that he is weak on this
point. Bishop Whittingham is very high
church, going so far US to remonStrnte
with clergyman in his diocese who
prayed for the dead, and for the forgive.
ness Of the sins Of dead wrsons. For
this Icnicncy toward what low church
people regard ns error an attempt was
made to present the IIishOpfo trial, but
! it has 80 lar failed, and the convention,
by decided majority, passed resolutions
sustaining Bishop Whiltinghnm.
