five clergymen and 1--WE laymen. and the
object of the meeting IS to apportion and
dlsburse the missionary funds of the new
diocese. There are twenty-five MISSION
aries in active service IN the new
diocese, who are preaching the Cos
pei to fully seventy or seventy-hye
churches, all of whom require some
aid from the missionary committee.
1t IS understood that for this purpose the
sum OF s., 900 will have 10 be raised before
the LIST of June; and that annually there
after between $1,000 and $1,000 will have
TO be raised by the new diocese Tor its
diocesan missionary purposes. ABOUT
thus no doubt is felt. The Diocesan Mis-
sionary Committee IS composed or two
members each from Norfolk, petersburg,
and Lynchburg; one each from Staunton
and Liberty, and the others from other
portions of the diocese.
NOT YET DECIDED.
Bishop Randolph has not yet decided
upon the place of his episcopal residence,
but he NAV probably announce his decision
in this respect on Monday. The strong
probability is that he may select Peters.
burg. In such large diocese as that OF
Southern Virginia, where his official duties
will keep him almost constantly. away
from his home, the Bishop. in the selection
of his residence, will not look merely to
his own convenience, but rather to that of
his family. While, therefore, 1t Is prooa-
bic that he NAV announce his intentions
in this respect on Monday. il is also probs-
BILE that he may take further time for con-
sideration. 1t is known that Norfolk and
Lyuchburg, as we'll "a Petersburg, are
equally DESTROYS of obtaining the episcopal
residence.
