The Episcopalians

When the revised Prayer Book of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in the United
Statee is printed it will contain clause
making it obligatory upon all ministers to
repeat the Nicene Creed on five days
of the year-Christmas Day, Easter
or Day, Ascension Day, Whitsundey and
Trinity Sunday. This is the result Of the
action taken on Saturday in New York by
the House ofDspulies of the Triennal Cen
eral Convention, which, by a vote Of SO
yeas. 9 nays tclerical and 90 yeas, IA nays
(lay) decided to keep the Niceue Creed as
n DAT Of the Prayer Book. Seventeen other
reso 'uticus embodying various pro forma
changes in the Prayer Book, none OF them
trenohing upon doctrinal questions, had
been previously acted upon and all but one
adopted, in most instances By overwhelming
msiorities. Heretofore ministers have been
allowed at their discretion to substitute the
Apostles' for the Nicepe Creed, 80 consci-
ence or convenience may dictate. Ihat
freedom has been abridged. Ministers who
don't believe in the Nicepe Cfeed-auc 1T lie
evident that there are some in the Cnurcn,
az we'll az some laymen-wi!l have to pre-
cure substitutes to read the Nlcene Creed
for them on tt g day specified or else make
the best terms they Can with their con-
sciences aad read it themselves. The Herald

something less than two hours. Il would
