embracing over halt Of Pennsylvania, the

one delegate. As matter Of
fact thare are only about forty pres-
eDt, the remaining stay-at-home delegates
evidently display nS sad lack of in
terest in the government and condition OF
their church. There are only three dis.
tricts Of this denomination, but they are
all o. rather wide geographical extent.

district taxes in sill the stotea south OF
Maryland. There are only three bishops
OF this faith, two Of whom are in attend
