Opposed to a Change.

The committee on the proposal to change
the name of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, appointed by the diocesan council
of 1887 and continued by that of 1888, have
adopted a report which they will submit at
the next council which meets in Lynch
burg in May next. The committee set forth:
''That the word Protestant is understood by
us not only to condemn and repudiate the er-
rOrs of the Church of Rome, but also to de-
clare the Scriptures to be the sole rule of faith
affirmS our belief in the great truths of the
Gospel, SO the word Episcopal proclaims our
apostolic order and government.
"That this Church has been, since the Ref
Ormation Protestant Church, holding rela-
tons of brotherhood and unity with all the
Protestant Churches of ChriStendOm and the
name is dear to our hearts because of its asSo-
citation with all that has made the Church
glorious.
'"That to expunge the name Protestant Epis-
copal from its title would be- not only to
break with the history of this Church and of
the Church of England, but would be under
stood as an expression OF opposition to Pro-
testant principles, and would endanger the or
ganic unity of the diOceses.
THAT the diocese of Virginia earnestly ap-
peals to her sister dioceses to unite in deternl-
'ined opposition to the effort to eXpunge the
words Protestant Episcopal, either from the
title page of the Prayer Book OF from the
name of the Church.

Death Of Former Pastor of st. Francis
Church.

M any of our citizens will remember Rev.
Joseph BiXio, the tall, slender italian priest
who was pastor of st. Francis church here
during the civil war. He has just died in
his 10th year, at San Jose, California, where
he had been stationed for many years. He
was brother Of the celebrated Gen. Bixio,
who distinguished himself under Victor
Emanuel, but came to this country when a
young man and served in the ministry of
the Catholic Church in various parts of the
country. He was appointed just as the
war began to the pastorship of st. Mary S
church at Alexandria. He went up the
railroad to visit some of his stations, and
before he could return that city was occu-
pied by the Federal troops. He then acted
as a sort of volunteer chaplain in the Con-
federate army and finally became pastor of
st. Francis. About the close of the wal
he was arrested as spy in trying to pass
Sheridan's lines, on his way to Georgetown
in quest of supplies, but was soon released.
Soon after the war he was sent to California
and had been either missionary Oh pro
fessor in Santa Clara College there ever
since. He was one of the few men who
lived to read his own obituary. During
the war refugee going to Alexandria from
ontside the federal lines, reported his death

his friends, and notices commendatory of
his life and services were published in the

that he was more fortunate than most men
in having been able to learn what people
really thought of him. He was a gentle.
kindly and highly intellectual man, and his
death will be read with regret by many
still living who enjoyed his friendship.
