EpIscopal Convention.

CANON FOR THE ORGANIZATION OF SISTER
HOOD OF DEACoNEssEs, &C., ADOPTED.
Boston, October 16.-A message was re-
ccived from the House of Bishops inform
ing the House OF Deputies that the former
body had adopted:a canon for the organiza-
ton OF a sisterhood OF deaconesses OF the
Church substantially on the principles re-
commended by the lower house.
An exceedingly animated scene was ere.
ated bv Mr.. Livermore, OF Minnesota, who
introduced the following resolution:
Resolved, That the union OF the Church
and State is preiudicial to the best interests
OF religion, and the House OF Deputies eX-
presses its sympathy with the efforts now
being made for the seyering Of the Church
from the State IN England.
Upon its being read by the secretary i
hundred at least in unison called upon the
Chair to have it laid upon the table; which
was done in short order, without atfording
any opportunity for discussion.
ORGANIZATION OF BROTHERHooDs AND SISTER
-. HOODS, &C. .z,.s
Boston, October 16.-With 4 view OF
making asmere extended and meteorological
effort in the work the committee recon-
mended freer use of brotherhoods and sis
terboods in the work OF the Church, said
organizations to be subject to the Bishop.
The report considered that Sunday schools
did not accomplish all the work that comes
within their province, and recommended
that agencies OF litanies, lectures, and other
literary influences for the elevation OF the
moral and social welfare Of the masses, on
whose intelligence and spiritual enlighten-
ment the protection OF society and the
! Church depended.
The report alluded to tie recent disorders
| in this country, which were sufficient to re-
| mind the people that without intoxicating
| principles above referred to in educating
| the masses properly, and religion would be
at the mercy of communistic bodies whom
it would be difficult to oppose by physical
force or law. The committee criticised the
general dissertation Of the Sunday by capi-
falists and those employing labor.
The report embodied resolutions to the
effect that the clergy be instructed to incul-
cate and act on the suggestion offered in
the report, and that the work be carried on
more successfully: that the parochial clergy
shouId be asked to aid In the work; that
the bishops should take steps for the APP
nointment OF cathecists ard teachers to en-
GAGE in the work, and that the churches De
thrown open to the people generally at
such times rs they are not being used for
usual and regular services Of the congrega'
