Council of the p. L. Church of Vir-
Rinfn.

In the Episcopal Council at Norfolk, satur-
day, Colonel Withers offered a resolution,
which was adopted, calling for the appoint
ment of committee of three clergy
men and three laymen, With the Bishop as
chairman, to examine the whole question of
diocesan division and report TO the next coun-
ell whether the claim OF the Bishop to the ex-
elusive right Of initiating any move looking to
a division of the diocese Is authorized or sane
TONED by the constitution or canons of the
church. The Bishop declined to serve, and n
motion was made TO reconsider the resolution,
but 1t was lost by vote Of so to 81. The COM
mittee was then elected, consisting OF Revs.
j. 8. Hanckel, G.. s. Norton, j. e.. Armstrong
and Messrs. Withers, Shelley and Barbour.
When the vote was announced Bishop Whittle
made personal statement In reference to
what had occurred on the subject of a divi-
sion of the diocese during the session Of the
council, claiming that HIS only idea had been
to carry out the laws Of the church, and ex-
pressing the hope that no bad feeling had
been engendered. He then announced that
after consultation he had determined to serve
on the committee. After reports from several
committees and addresses on missionary
work, the council adjourned sine die, to meet
next May at Lexington.

In the enlargement Of the kingdom Of truth
boon impossible without such ascension" The
subject presented in the evening was, "Chris
tians IN their calling and qualifications as
witnesses for Christ" The informing thought
OF the discourse was that the method of re-
demption was tho elevation Of humanity by
the agency of man. Thus the human agency
found grandest play and power In the divine
order for uplifting and saving the human
race. Tho music at this church Is exception

Last weeks races at Ivy City demonstrated,
beyond doubt that horse-racing has at last

the sport. The eraces were concluded on Satur-

Bishop Pinkney at Anacostia.

The Right Rev. DR.. Plnkney, Bishop OF
Maryland, visited Emanuel Up. E.) Church,
Anacostia, at the IL o'clock service, Sunday,
where he preached and confirmed. Notwith-
standing the threatening character of the
weather, every available seat in the church
was filled by an attentive audience. The
Bishops text was Psalm lxxxiv, 8: "Blessed
is the man whose strength is In Thee, In
whose heart are Thy ways" The Bishop rap.
idly traced some OF the various sources and
forms OF strength presented by men OF the
world, and the motives by which they are
actueted, and contrasted their fleeting and un
certain character with the strength and moral
stamina OF the man Of God, who had the
promise of the life which now is and Of thai
which is to come. The discourse was eloquent
and forceful. At the close of the sermon the
candidates for confirmation were presented to
the Bishop by the rector of the church.
