EPISCOPAL CONVENTION

Disposed OF.

Disposed OF.
New YORK, October 18.-In the Epis-
copa1 Convention this morning the Com
mittee on Canons presented a repogs on
the proposed establishment of mission.
airy Episcopate for colored people. Even
if the church is justified by it's laws in
recognizing separate races, the commit
tee deemed it inexpedient to do SO now.
Decision was postponed. Consideration
of Liturgical revision was resumed.
At the afternoon session several other
resolutions were adopted. A peculiar
feature of the voting on these resolutions
was that Iowa took decided stand
against revision of any sort, and desired
through DIR. Hale to be individually
recorded in that light. The real debate
of the afternoon came upon DR.. Hunt
ington's resolution for a short service
Of prayer for sundry occasions. The
subject was reopened by Dr.. Edgar, who
happened to be absent when the matter
was before the Committee Of the Whole.
After q lengthy discussion the resolution
was put and carried. This finally dis
poses OF an important matter, already
proposed and defeated by two previous
conventions, so far as the House OF Dep
kuties is concerned.
In the House of Bishops today it waf
decided that no change shall be made IN

Eas proposed to change for "Coadjutor.'

The contest over the will of o. l..
Susand was continued yesterday before
Judge Clark. Deputy City Clerk F. B.
Tanning was examined as an expert in
handwriting. He declared that he con-
sidered the will forgery. w. A..
susand. brother OF deceased, was ex-
amined. He stated that he was we'll &C.
Quainted with the writing and signature
Of his brother, and that the will was not
written nor signed by him. Colonel G..
Wiley Wells testified to the same effect.
Margaret McGastrick testified that
Susand was sick at her house about the
time the will is said to have been made,
and that he was not physically capable
of writing the will in question because Of
his illness.
The proponents put on J. s. Van
Doran, who for many years was bank
cashier. He was just as positive that the
will was Susand's as the others were
that it was not. On cross-examination
he fell into a pretty trap set for him, in
testifying that name written in mem
orandum book belonging to the deceased
was in the handwriting OF the same per.
son who wrote the will. That name in
that book will be shown to have
been written by another per
son. Colonel Daily, who has
! been in the Treasury Department of the
Federal Government, was put on the
stand. He was rather weak witness
for the proponents. He merely stated
that he thought the will might be in Su
sands handwriting. The woman, Mrs
Sample, will be put on today.

1t will not last long. Your day,
my day, the worlds day, the day of
opportunity, the day of grace, the
day of salvation-all days are swiftly
passing away; and the great day, the
last day, will surely and speedily
come. Now there is opportunity for
usto work;by and by the time will be
past, While it is day we may work
the work Of God, and do what he has
commanded us; but if we idle this
present opportunity away, it will
never return, and the neglect of to-
day may never be repaired. To-mor-
row will bring the work for to-mor-
row, and every day and every year
will bring its appropriate duties.
Let the work Of today be done tos
day and then we may calmly await
the coming of the morrow, if the
morrow shall ever come.

SEEK We FIRST THE KINGDOM OF
GOD.

The Kingdom of God is used in
Scripture in two senses. First, it
means the introduction of grace into
the heart, by which the man himself
is subdued to God, and brought into
obedience to him. Second, itmeans the
church of Christ, into which these
saved men are brought by grace, and
organized into a competent govern
ment over which Christ reigns as
King. This kingdom of heaven is
one, though for the present part Of
it is in earth and part in heaven.
Grace on earth is glory begun; glory
in heaven is grace perfected. 1t is
not two Kingdoms, but one and the
same. So the true believer on earth
is as much a member of this king
dom, as the saint in heaven.
To be member of this kingdom
is to belong to Christ; is to be por-
ton of his inheritance in the earth.
But 1 can only be u member of the
outward kingdom, by having the
inward kingdom in my heart. TO
seek the kingdom of God, is to seek
to realize Gods grace in my heart,
as the one subdueing, controlling, and
prompting power in me. 1t is an ex-
hortation therefore, to every profess
sing christian as we'll as to the I'M
godly. There is no possible saliva
ton for any man except by Gods
grace. The ungodly man, if he would
be saved must seek for the implant-
ing of grace in his heart. Every be-
lever must seek daily fT the growth
of this grace in him.
The Saviour teaches us that the
presence and growth of this grace in
us is of much greater importance
than what we have to eat or wear.
So in our worldly affairs we are to dc
our duty faithfully and then dismiss
the whole from our minds, trusting
God to give us through our business
such results as are for our good and
his glory, while we bend all the ener.
gies of unencumbered minds to seek.
ing grace in our hearts. 1t is much
more important to be an humble,
earnest christian man than to be q
rich man, to have the heart full Of
grace than the barn full of grain. The
first great object of every man ought
to be, to be a good man. If man
can be good man and a rich man.

simply writes home to get a check.
He does not trouble himself as to how
his father raises the money; whether
he sells horse or a COW, or draws
from the bank-that is, if he knows
his father is well-to-do.
Have some of us forgotten that our
Heavenly Father is well-to-do, and
that when we can see no way out of
our perplexities his resources are not
exhausted? Will we not be happier
children if we believe his Word on
the subject of prayer, and look on our
side Of the question, leaving him to
see to his side? There is no difficult
ty about praying and if there are
difficulties about answering, the an
swering is not our business.
Take election. Why need we try
to understand it? Mans side of that
question is, "Whosoever will, let
him take the water of life" and shin
that cometh unto me l will no wise
cast out" How foolish for one to
puzzle over Gods side of the doc
trine, when he has not taken a step
on his own side. The child-like
spirit is certainly best for plain mys-
teries; and for all, whether learned
or unlearned, it is good to rest in the
thought that what he has promised
he is able also to perform.

Walking With Coz.

Independent.
Why is it so difficult to find and
maintain a close walk with God?
We think that the answer to this is
found in the fact that it is not so
much that we want to walk with
God, as it is that we want God to
walk with us. We are fond of our
own way, even when it is not pleas
ing to God. We are not willing to
give it up. But to walk our own
way, which at the same time is not
Gods way, is to lose his company.
But to lose companionship with
God is to fill our souls with darkness
and trouble. Our souls cry out for
God, for the living God; but God will
not walk with us when our way is
not his way. If, therefore, we would
resume our walk with God, we must
abandon our way, and go over TO his
way again. The whole trouble is in
our indisposition to leave our way
and always walk in Gods way. This
is to fear the Lord, to walk in his
way. 1t is not that God ever parts
company with us, but that we part
company with him. 1t is not said
that God walked with Enocn, but
that "Enoch walked with Cod"
God has his walk in this world. 1t
is open and plain to anyone who
chooses to walk in it. He is not far
from any one of us. Whosoever will
may come and walk with him.
"Master, where dwellest thou?" was
asked by two of the disciples of Jesus.
His answer was, "Come, and see,"
When he was on earth he was easily
found. In the highway, in the
temple, by the well, in the house of
the Pharisee, eating with publicans
and sinners, by the sea-shore-every-
where where the need of man called
him. If we have never found him,
he is within hearing of our call. Ii
we already know him, and are walk
ing with him in the way of his COM
mandments, he is with us, for to such
he says, "Lo, / am with you Away"
"If any man will be my disciple, let
him take up his cross and come after
me-" This is the way to walk with
God. But to do this we must deny
ourselves, and this is where the pinch
comes. We would all be glad to have
God walk with us in our way, even
for the sake of walking with him.
1t must not be supposed that walk
ing with God will make ascetics of
men, This was the mistake of some
of the earlier Christians, who fled to
the desert and the mountains, think
ing that in this way only could they
maintain walk with God. But his
delights are with the sons of men not
: apart from them. To mingle with
men for their good, to leave with
them a testimony for God, is the
Christians high calling. To mingle
with men, leaving God out of com
partnership, is the sure way Of becom'
ing corrupt. So jealous was Moses
for the presence of God with him that
he prayed that, if God went not uT
with him unto the promised land, he
might not be sent. And again we
:, find him praying, "Show me thy
, way" A clsse walk with God is
= easy and practical to those who want
=, Gods way rather than their own. If
in all our ways, we will acknowledge
/, him, he will direct our paths, ant
thus we shall "walk with God"
