VIE EPIsCOPALIANS.
y Division of the Dioc ,se of California

~
Consented TO.
New York, Oct. Sat to-day's session of
the house of deputies of the Protestant Epis-
copal church OF America the principal bust
ness done was the granting of consent to the
division of the diocese of California and the
erection of a new diocese in the southern
part of the state. A resolution providing
that the Joint committee on provincial sys-
tens may consider the eXpediency of Great
ing five archblshops was referred to the COM
mittee.
The house deputies took up the report of
the committee on the ulicial system OF the
church. The majority of the committee state
that OF the modes of obtaining rehe! from
the present condition OF the system CON
sidered by them the only one considered
direct and reasonable is that the general
convention change article OF the coustltu.
ton and then enact uniform canon for the
the whole church. As to the form which
this change should take the committee thinks
it should be unrestricted 50 that the general
convention could either establish courts of
appeal only, or if that is inpracticable may
establish uniform ana complete system
throughout all the dioceses, The committee
recommended that commission be formed
to draft two canons for the consideration of
the next general convention, one providing
for system of appellate courts only, and
the other for uniform system in all dio-
ceses, including courts of appeal.
The committee also presented a recon-
mendation that the third clause IN article &
be altered to read: "In every diocese the
method of trying prosbyters and deacons
may be instituted oy convention OF the
dioceses until the general convention shall
otherwise provide" and tnat this alteration
be laid before the ensuing general conveu-
tion for final ratification. fhe minority is OF
the opinion that change in the system is
desirable to the extent of providing a review
ing tribunal. They believe each diocese
competent to provide tor itself a complete
system of judicature and that the difficulties
in the way of establishing courts of appeal
are too serious TO be overcome. The reports
were discussed at great length and adjourn
ment had with the matter still pending.
