To-day the guard was arrested on a

There were no evctions to-day, but the

Episcopal Ministers Vent Their Opinions on

Scope- Yesterday'a Exercises,

Episcopal Ministers Vent Their Opinions on
the Subject-VIews of Revs. Hodges
Rodgers and Ellsworth Take a Wide
Scope Yesterdays Exercises.
The Episcopslian clergy in convocation
show that they are not altogether satisfied
in their minds that people at large feed
their minds on the best mental food within
reach. One of them is freed from appre-
hension on the subject of agnosticism as he
thinks it no longer disturbing force.
The business meeting of the Southern
Convocation of the Pittsburg diocese of the
Episcopal Church, was held yesterday after
noon at the residence of Rev. W. N. Webbe.
Bishop W hitehead presided. ReV.Mr. Retfern, of
Hazelwood, was elected secretary, and Rev. q.
A. N. Dyess treasurer. 1t was decided to hold
the next convocation at Monongahela City.
though the date was not fixed. The meeting
then adjourned to St Johns Church at
the corner of Butler and Main streets.
Rev. George Hodges, rector of Calvary
Church, reviewed the different periods of the
rise of standard literature; its gradual growth
from the birth of Christ to the present time,
and the trend Of thought which marked the
epochs of civilization. He dwelr on the attacks
the Christian religion had suffered through the
medium Of books, magazines and the
public press and said attacks had been
the foundation of faith.
Rev. George Rodgers, of St. Thomas Church,
Verona, believed there was too much trash
read; that nearly all of the matter contained in
the periodicals. of the day was not good intel
lectual matter for the development of the
mind, and that wise discrimination was neces-
sary In the choice Of books to prevent the ruin
OF critical taste and the gaining of wrong
ideas in regard to religion. In concluding. Mr..
Rodgers reviewed large number Of books he
thought valuable for the training of the mind.
Good novels he considered good for recreation.
Agnosticism, he said, has been dead for the
last ten years in the best minds.
Rev. II. B. Ellsworth, OF Christ Church,
Brownsville, spoke on religious literature and
said that while every family in the country had
a daily newspaper in the home, very few sub
scribed to any of the church papers. This fact
the speaker held was greatly to be lamented, as
every family should be well informed in the
great work of home and foreign missions as
carried on by the churches throughout the en-
tire land.
The remainder Of the session was spent in de-
votional exercises. The ladies of st. Johns
Church had prepared lunch which was eaten
after the exercises terminated.
