The annual convention of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of Missouri took place at
st. Georges church, St. Louis. this week,
presided over by Rt. Rev. c.. f. Robertson,
bishop of the diocese. The attendance of
%clergymen and laymen was good The con-
vention sermon was preached for the first
time In some years by the bishop, and was
noticeably liberal in its tone, deprecating the
imposing of conditions to Christian COM
munion not required by the scriptures, and
advocating simplicity In church services. The
bishop in his annual address stated that one
of the hindrances to church extension is the
scarcity of men more than the lack of money.

work, the fun for dioscesan missions this
year being 100 per cent. greater than the pre-.
vious year. Gratifying reports were also
made of the extinguishment or reduction of
church debts. There were three colored del
egates In the convention, two clergymen and
one laynan, representing work in Kansas
City and st. Louis. They all three addressed
the convention, their remarks being received
with great interest.
ed of delegates from all the southern states
including Missouri, met at Waco. Texas,
May 8, 1883. This body is not all ecclesiasti-
cal judicature, but simply u missionary body,
composed of delegates on the basis of one
delegate for every hundred dollars contribu-
ted by persons or churches, and one delegate
additional for every five hundred dollars col
lected and disbursed by state conventions and
associations for purposes and objects Ike
those supported by the Southern Baptist
Convention, namely: Foreign ,:domestic aud
Indian missions, including the building of
and supporting ministers Of the
gospel in communities where the member
ship is too weak numerically or financially to
effect these Objects. The number Of delegates
in attendance on this convention at Waco was
$50, embracing the best talent and schol-
arship Of the denomination. Among the /
eminent divines present were Doctors of
Divinity Boyce, Broaddus and Manley, of the |
faculty of the Southern Baptist, Theological
lucky, and until after the late war located at
Green lille, South Carolina. Also. DR.. Curry, |
of Richmond College, Va; DIR. Furman, of
University, South Carolina; Drs.
Crave and Burleson, of Texas; DIR. Helm, of
Kentucky; DIR. Tichener, of Georgia; Drs..
upper and Jones, of Virginia; DIR. Nelson, |
Of North Carolina; DR.. Renford, of Alabama; |
Drs. Talbird, Yeaman and Maple, of Missou-
and many others of equal eminence from
states. Beside $50 delegates, there
were many hundred visiting brethren. Some
1000 in all, including 700 lady visitors. This
body is spoken of by the papers as one of the
most imposing and intelligent that has ever
on the continent. The introduc-
'ory sermon preached by DR.. B%roaddus in
he large auditorium of the Waco Baptist
on the night Of the 9th of May, to a
crowded and intensely interested audience,
IN the Inspiration and Authenticity of the
Scriptures, was a master piece of bible learn
ng, logic and convincing argument, dwarfing
Lngersoll and his adherents into their natural
appropriate littleness. This sermon we
will be given to the press by its
earned author at the urgent request of many
his brethren and hearers. This conven-
ion was in session from Wednesday morning
Ill near twelve o'clock Saturday night, trans
citing a large amount of important business,
nterspersed with many interesting speeches,
ermonsa and reports on foreign and domestic
including those in China. Africa,

nd southern states, both among the white
nd colored population. Even an abrids.
