Bishop Stevens, at the Pennsyl.
vania Convention, in opposition to the
change of the name Protestant Epis-
copal" to "The American Branch of
the Church Catholic" said
" shall not advocate such a meas
ure because l believe that any such
change of title is unnecessary and un-
wise. should not have alluded to this
here, but for the fact that similar efforts
are being made to secure the votes of
Diocesan Conventions to this or kind
red measure, and already the boast is
made that five Bishops are committed
to vote for the change of title. do
not wonder, indeed 1t is perfectly
natural, that a class of men desire to
bring back into the Church the cast-Off
ceremonies, vestment, and doctrines of
medi@val days. Brethren, our
Church Is by name, by constitution, by
canons, by it's Prayer Book, by its ordi-
nal, by its articles of faith, by its hym>
nal, Protestant Episcopal Church.
To take from her that name is to lamp
er with some of the vital elements of
her being and TO imperil her eXistenceS
If the errors which created the Angli-
can Reformation, over three hundred
years ago, had all vanished away, then
the prOtests against those errors, which
give to us the name Of PrOtestants,
might be left as things belonging to our
historic past, to be superseded by new
name more expressive of present cir-
cumstanoes. But brethren, the errors
which the Anglican Reformers con-
fronted three hundred years ago con-
front US. We stand face to face with
the same errors, only augmented by more
recent assumption of papal power, and
more blasphemous dogmas Of its coun'
ellis and encyclieals. II there was need
to protest then, there is equal need to
protest now; nay more, for the errors
are greater now, and the existence Of
traitors within our camp only makes il
more imperative than ever that We
should hold on to the word Protestant
and never surrender it to those who nov
seek 70 obliterate what the fathers OF
our Church wisely and boldly Inscribed
on our banners"
