PHILADELPHIA, October A-This is the

Convention of the Protestant Episcopal
church. The..House of Deputies on the State
OF the Church made a report upon the pre-
amble and resolution of James II. Fisher, a
lay deputy OF the diocese of Western New

Concerning the COmrNOn RumOr
that certain ministers of the church have
during long periods OF time past Introd uced
during the celebration of Holy Commuu-
iop, ceremonies not authorized in the BOOK
of common prayer, and symbolizing erro-
neous or doubtful doctrines. The commit
tee reached the unanimous conclusion that
this subject is beyond the competency Of
this committee, and further, that it is
amply provided for by canon %, title l,
entitled, "Of the Use Of the Book of Com
mon Prayer" to which they earnestly
call the attention of the church. The
committees request to be discharged from
Farther Consideration
of the subject was granted.
The Committee on the State of the
Churches made its final report, which
stated that there are now in the Protestant
Episcopal Church OF the United states, 10
lioeeses;ss 10 missionary jurisdietions, 81
bishops, $500 other clergy, 5000 organized
parishes and more than $4,000 communl-
cants. The report referred to the made
auate number Of candidate for holy orders,
and called special attention to the work OF
the Church Temperance Society. Church
music, it says, has made progress. The
enriched book of common prayer is
Hailed With Delight.
The report concluded with resolution
that in view OF the state OF the church the
report be transmitted to the House OF
Bishops, with tie request that they prepare
a pastoral letter for publication. The reso-
luton was adopted.
