Just issued by Messrs. Merchant & Co., 5l7
Arch street, Philadelphia. The purpose of
the publication is to supply to builders,
architects and the general public some exact
information as to the best methods of con-
structing tin roofand as to the right ma
terials to be used to secure satisfactory and
permanent reeults. We especially recon-
mend the book, which is intended for grau-
itous distribution, TO mill owners. They
are very apt to trust the matter OF roofing
wholly to builders and they usually know
really very little about the character of the
tin used or the excellence or the defective
ness of the job This pamphlet will help
them to protect their interests It is very
explicit, perfectly comprehensive, and We
think wholly trustworthy. 1t is quite pro-
fusely illustrae ed and the cuts indicate pro-
casses Of applying tin roofing which insure
excellence.

Opposed 10 u Change.

The committee on the proposal to change the
name of the Protestant Episcopal Church, APP
pointed by the diocesan council of 1887 and con-
tnued by that of 1855, have adopted a report
which they will submit at the next council which
meets in Lynchburg in May next. The committee
set forth:
That the word Protestant is understood by US
not only to condemn and repudiate the errors Of
the Church of ROme but also to declare the Scrip.
lures TO be the sole III of faith and practice. And
as the word Protestant aiiirms our belief in the
great truths of the Gospel so tho word Episcopal
procams our apostolic order and government.
That this Church has been, since the Reform
alton. Pro teStdm Church, holding relations Of
brotherhood and unity with all the Protestant
Churches of Chrstendom, and the name is dear to
our hearts because of its association with all that
has inside the Church glorious
That to expunge the name Proto slant Episco-
pal from its title would be, not only to break with
the history of this Church and of the Church of
England, but would be understood an express
ion of opposition to Protestant principles, aud
would endanger the organic unity OF the diocesea.
That the diocese of Virginia earnestly appeals
to her sister dioceses to unite in determined OPP
position to the effort to expunge the words Pro-
tcstant Episcopal either from the title page of the
Prayer Book or from the name of the Church"
