Col. z. d. Harrison of Atlanta moved
that the convention grant an audience to
the commissioner of endowment sent out by
the trustees of the University of the South
at Sewanee. This met with some opposition,
as the evening session had been fixed by
order for the discussion of the missionary
work OF the diocese.
Col. Harrison said that as the conventions
Of North Carolina and South Carolina were
both in session at the same time, and the
commissioner expected to address them as
we'll as the Georgia convention, that it
would be necessary for the convention to
hear him at the night session if they heard
him at all. A motion was passed fixing the
order of the evening session at $50 o'clock,
so as to give the commissioner from 8 to
$50 to address the convention.
The following were appointed committee
on credentials Rev. J. G. Davis, II. G .
Cutter and +. II. Bozeman.
The convention adjourned until o'clock,
p. m.
After adjournment notice, signed by
Rev. Charles Strong. Rev. Robb White
and a number of other clergymen ana lay
delegates, calling for a meeting of the
clergy and lay delegates in the basement of
Christ church at O'Clock in the afternoon
for a confidential conference upon the Sc
lection of bishop, was read.
THE STANDING COMMITTEE.
The standing committee met yesterday
morning from s to 10 o'clock and transacted
considerable routine business. The papers
of DIR. Seasons, recently elected bishop of
Louisiana, were passed.
After the adjournment OF its meeting the
standing committee met again as the board
of incorporation and made out list of the
deeds of all the property held in trust by
the board for the diocese, TO be appended to
the journal of the diocese.
LAST NIGHTS SESSION.
The convention met last night to hear an
address from Silas McBee, commissioner of
the endowment fund of the university of
the south at Sewanee.
Mr.. MoBee was introduced by Rev. s. A.
Barrett. He gave about twenty minutes
talk upon the subject of the university and
the work it is doing, the Importance of its
work and the interest which Georgia should
feel in it. He said there are now 800
students at Sewanee. In the twenty-three
years of the existence Of the university II
has educated nearly 5000 young men, OF
whom 100 have entered the ministry of the
church, and one of whom has recently been
elected assistant bishop of Louisiana.
Mr.. McBee made splendid presentation
of the work which the university has done
and is doing, and closed with an earnest ap
peal to the Episcopaliaus to enable it to dc
the work which it should do.
The shortness of the time allowed Mr.. Nc
Bee was insufficient for full presentation
of the subject.
THE MISSION WORK.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. McBee's address
Rev. Il. S. Barrett called the convention &c
order, Rev. DR.. Hunter being unable to be-
present on account of Illness The mission
work was taken up.
Rev. II. k. Rees, missionary of the dio
cese, made his report to tine convention. II
was a very favorable one, much good worl
having been done. Mr.. Reese said tina
there is work for several men in the diocese
with only one man to cover the field.
The reports of the deans of the convoca-
tions of Savannah, Augusta, Macon anC
Atlanta were read. They were generally
favorable, showing a number of missions
established and work begun in many places
where there is promise of gathering con
gregation in time. The great trouble is thu
lack Of lahorers in the mission field of the
diocese,
