episcopate, among them tho famous Bishops
Hopkins, Potter, Ouderdonl, and Gadsder
OF these one is still living, Right Rev. Will
lam NJ Green, bishop Of Mississippi.
At tho convention Of 1882, held in New
York, IL was asserted that n bishop has no
authority TO resign of his own will. A
thorough revision Of the canons was COM
menced. The house Of bishops sent to tho
house Of deputies its opinions as to tho proper
postures to be observed in the celebration of
tho holy communion. The clergy numbered
nearly 600. In 1885 they numbered 1853; in
1888, 951 in 1871, over 1000. In 1Si4
the convention met in Philadelphia when
the resignation and suspension of Bishop II.
u. ODderdonk took place, and Bishop b. 4.
0nderdonk was tried and deposed. The OK
ford movement was greatly discussed, but
the convention, true TO the wonderful con-
sorvatism of the church, declined to legislato
concerning it.
In 1877 tho clergy numbered over 1,40O.
In 1850 the convention was held in Cincn-
NATL for the first time going west of tho
meridian of Baltimore, In 1858 there were
over 1000 clergymen. In 1856 the suspen-
sion of Bishop II. U. Ondordonk was lifted,
and he was restored to his proper functions.
In 1859 the convention went south and met
Mt st. Pauls church, Richmond, Va. Over
1000 clergy were reported In 1862 the
smallest and most sorrowful of the conven-
None Of tho seeded states were present At
the convention Of 1865, held in Philadelphia,
a reunion of the church was effected.
In 1865 il was evident that tho lines were
being strictly drawn between High Church
and Low Church, but the convention refused
to consent to alteration Of tho prayer book
In the convention OF 1871, held in Balti-
more, the long expected subject of ritualsm
would not be held down any longer. The
ablest intollccts of tho church were engaged
in this war of the giants. The numbers were
against the ritualists, and tho conservatism of
the church triumphed.
In 1874 the war burst fercely out over tho
confirmation Of Bishops-eloct Welles, of Wis
consin, and Seymour Of Illinois Wclles was
confirmed. The house of bishops went into
secret session for seven days. aud after the
stormiest session known to any of tho con
ventions Seymour was rejected, although il
was pretty we'll decided that ho was not rit-
ualist Some years afterward he was again
nominated and confirmed At this conven-
tion tho eloquent DIR. Cummins, who had or
ganized 1.-THE Reformed Episcopal church. u
was publicly deposed. The number Of clergy
was over 5000 and tho church was at the
height Of prosperity. The convention Of 1877
was the largest ever known in the history oil
the church. The last convention was held in
New York, fifty bishops and over 400 delegates
being present. The present convention will
doubtless be one Of the most important ever
held,
