mlttee on the Change OF Name, presented,
not as member OF the committee, but as
an individual, a lengthy preamble and series
Of Iesolutious--in all OF which he reviews
the efforts to change the name Of the Church
and the determined effort 10 deprive this
Church Of ifs Protestant character, and this
effort 10 change the Cburch's name Is but q
part Of the general scheme.
The first resolution declares that the pres
ent name properly describes the Church,
and Is in all respects a suitable one. The
second resolution affirms that the General
Convention has not the moral right TO alter
the title. The third resolution sees in this
effort needless barrier 10 unity. The fourth
