DEAR BROTHER Will you kind
y entertain an appeal in behalf of our
Methodist work for the Swedish peuple
of our city At the last session of the
Wilmington annual Conference Bishop
Simpson organized mission among
us and appointed NE in charge Of it. We
have gathered congregation of about
seventytive, of whom thirty-seven
are now communicate members,
and have established SUM-
day school Of over forty young peo-
pie Through the generosity Of the
Methodist churches Wilmington we
have also erected neat and beautiful
chapel on ground purchased for the
purpose, and shall dedicate it to the
worship Of God on sabbath afternoon
next at 3 O'Clock. Our work is con-
stantly growing in importance. Sixty
eight families Of Swedish immigrants
are already here and others coming.
They cannot participate in the service
of our American churches, and neither
in this city OF State is there place
where they can hear the gospel in their
own language, except III our chapel.
Our own people are contributing as
they can to this work and will, we hope,
soon make it scf-supporting. But i'll
order to dedicate our building free OF
debt we shall need much additiona !
help from others You perhaps have
already contributed towards it, but
will you not aid us still further? In
behalf of our board | cordially invite
you to be present at the dedication ser
vices and assist us by your means and
prayers.h

Verdict OF the COrOner's Jury.

Coroner Smith summoned a jury yes
terday land held an inquest last evening
at the undertaking establishment of l..
W. Palmer, over the body Of Joseph
Maiden, the colored man who was
drowned in the Brandywine creek yes
terday morning. Three witnesses Were
examined, from whom it was learned
that the deceased was native of Nay
lor's Hole, Richmond County, Vir-
ginia, and came to Wilmington about
the 18th Of May last. After working a
short time at the phosphate works OF
Whann & Company, he went to work
for the Edgemoor Iron Company.
he worked, being obliged to quit on ac-
count Of sickness. On Saturday last he
came to the residence of George Maid
en-, his cousin, and told him of his sick
ness. He also asked his relative to 60
to the market and get a chicken for
him. Meantime he said he would 20
back to Edgemoor and get his clothes.
His cousin protested, and told him he
had better 60 to bed. While his cousin
was absent in search of a chicken, the
unfortunate man left the house, and
was never seen alive afterwards. Search
was instituted for him, but nothing was
heard of him until he was found float
ing in the creek.
Deceased had been sick for two or
three weeks, and had been in low
spirits. Previous to starting from his
cousin he had said : would rather
| be dead than to suffer as do with ma
larial fever" and also said that Sun
| day morning would not see him alive.
They laughed at the assertion, and EN-
deavored to cheer him up.
| The unfortunate man was about 25
years of age, and unmarried. After
hearing the testimony of the witnesses,
the jury rendered verdict of death by
drowning in the Brandywine. The
body will be inferred to-day in Mt.
Zion cemetery.

The Episcopal Convention continued
Its sessions yesterday In the Church OF
the Holy Trinity. The House of Depu
ties was called to order at the usual
hour, but many of the members were
late In arriving. Their interest in the
proceedings does not appear as great al
1t was during the first week, and not a
few are beginning TO manifest u desire
to return 10 their homes. Bishop Green,
Of Mississippi, one of the most vener,
able prelates attending the Convention,
withdrew yesterday and bid farewell to
the deputies.
at will, under the providence OF
God, be the last time" he said, "that
will attend "A General Convention. |
ain the only survivor of all the bishops
and clergy who attended the General
Convention in 1923. When ! entered
the ministry sixty-three years ago,
there were then only nine bishops. Now
see six times that number. What has
God wrought for us as church ?"
A message was received from the
House Of Bishops requesting the ap-
pointment of d joint committee on emf
X
influence of the Episcopal Church
among the large number Of emigrants
arriving in this country. The lower
house concurred in the message. Hon.
Orlando Meads, member of the COM
mittee to which had been referred the
subject Of harmonizing the laws of the
Church with those of the several States
in so far as they relate to the functions
and powers Of rectors, churchwardens
and vestrymen, reported that the MEM
members at present could not reach a
conclusion. The committee recon.
mended the appointed Of joint special
committee, consisting of two bishops,
two clergymen and two laymen to con-
slider the subject and to report to the
next General Convention.
The hour for the consideration of the
enrichment Of the Prayer Book having
arrived, the house resolved itself into a
Committee Of the Whole for that pur-
pose. 1t was moved to amend the ver-
sicle 80 that it would read so, Lord,
save our Rulers, to 80, Lord, bless our
Nation" Rev. Mr.. Huntingdon offered
as compromise in the words the fol-
lowing 'Bless and preserve these
United States.' After long discus
sion, Rev. DR., Huntingdon's compro-
Mise was accepted. After adopting
several more of the proposed changes,
the committee arose and adjourned,
so that the deputies might accept the
invitation of Mr.. Thomas Clyde and
take trip down the Delaware.
The Convention reassembled at eight
o'clock, and the report of tho Committee
on Canons relative to lay readers was
taken up and adopted as originally re.
ported. The House then went into II
Committee of the Whole for the purpose
of considering the report Of tho joint
committees on the revision ofthe Prayer
book. The resolution of the Committee
on the order for evening prayer was dis.
cused at length, and after some slight
amendments it was agreed to report ii
with a favorable recommendation The
committee then arose, and atLen O. clock
the Convention adjourned.
