on the Prayer Book.

| SIX Indian ministers from some or the
thinly-settled regions of the state. The
members of the council were attired in full
canonicals ard in marching into the church
were preceded by a surpliced choir of AGO.
lytes, chanting hymn. The annual adj
dress of Bishop Whipple was an interest
ing document of considerable length and
was listened to with rapt attention.
II bring you the record of the 9th year of
my episcopate," he said. II have delivered
during the year 245 sermons and addresses,
confirmed 720 persons, celebrated the holy
| communion 46 times, ordained priests and
| deaconS.''
He then paid a fitting tribute to the mem
DRY of several bishops of the church who
had died during the past year, The bishop
said that in these days of skepticism and
unbelef there was great danger of WIDEN
ing the breach between the different re-
| llgious denominations, and said that no one
could be too careful in making remarks
! that would tend in any way to injure the
cause of religion.
| 1--WE must" said he, acknowledge knship
with all who by baptism are put on grace"
he said there was a great wrong somewhere
| when men of toll were drifting away from
| God and avoiding the houses of worship, and
was fearful that the wrong lay at the door of
| the church. 1.-THE men of toll" he continued
''are the men of all other men to love the
order, the beauty and the clear practical
| teaching of the church The relations of
capital and labor will adjust themselves.
Their interests are Identical. Whatever places
them in hostile camps brings ruin to both.
The gospel of Jesus Christ has not one law
for capital and one for labor. Never has
| there been time when labor. might so Dig
! Nifty its toll with the stamp of u high and
| noble service as to-day. Never was there a
| time when wealth so needed TO hear the voice
| of Jesus Christ. What labor needs is not
charity. 1t is able and will take care of it.
| self. The people are the rulers Brother
hood men will have, and it is for us to say
| whether it shall be the brotherhood Of the
commune or the brotherhood of Jesus Christ.
| These are no days to preach platitudes about
doctrine or to philosophize about religion
The address closed with few words
upon the sacredness of the pastoral rela-
ton. and the danger and folly of chang
ing pastors every little while. He referred
to his own failing health, and said what
was needed was an assistant bishop.
After the administering of the communion
the services closed for the morning, An
elegant dinner was served at the church by
the ladies, and very few of those in attend
ance left the building at all. When the
council convened at $50 in the afternoon

CHANGE IN PRAYER BOOK.
| The special committee to whom had
! been referred the proposed change in the
prayer book presented a majority and a
| minority report The former declared:
The council was nnder no obligation to pass
| upon the proposed book as a whole; but that
! it was free to pass upon each proposed
| change upon its own merits; that the council
| would recommend the book annexed if it was
| decided that it must be voted upon as a
whole; that the council favors certain addi-
| lions, alterations and permissions as likely to
| give greater liberty and feXibility in the use
| of the services; and that the committee APP
pointed by the general convention to con-
| slider this matter should not consist wholly of
| liturgical scholars. but should in part be made
up of men who have prominently in mind the
church of the future.
The minority report specified sveral mi
nor changes. A lengthy discussion ensued
upon the merits of the two reports. and
the matter will come up again later on.
