SAYS a Wilmington correspondent of
a Philadelphia paper:
The protest of few members of the
P. E. Diocese of Delaware against the
the Executive Committees indOrse-
ment of DR. Phillips Brooks for the
Bishopric of Massachusetts, has created
n great stir among the Churchmen
here. 1t is regarded as the entering
wedge of a factional fight between the
Low and the High Churchmen. Under
the late Bishop Lee this was cOnspicu-
Ously a Low Church diocese, the be-
loved head of the Church in Delaware
being a pronounced leader of the Low
Church. 1t is a significant fact that
with one or two exceptions every
signer to the protest has been added to
the diocese since Bishop Lees death,
and include practically all the clergy
men who have been brought into the
State since that time.
The protest is therefore the most sig
nifeant and decisive proof that has
been manifested that the diocese is
rapidly changing into a High Church
Community and the people are just
opening their eyes to the fact.
The protest has no significance be-
yond that single fact. 1t was not
brought before the Diocesan COnVen.
ton at all, and reached its first pub
licity through the newspapers. There
is a general regret that the matter
should have been brought to public
notice at all.
