and that such donor be permitted Ia

The work among the colored people
was then discussed at length on the pro
position offered by Bishop Dudley, of
Kentucky. to limit the commission, which
now consists of several Southern bishops
with representatives from the clergy and
laity, to the bishops. Arguments were
made in behalf of retaining the laymen
and clergymen on the commission In or
der TO keep the laymen as well as the
clergy Interested. MIR. Joseph bryan
made a strong argument, IN which he
referred to the immense amount OF work
done by Bishop Dudley. Kentucky, which
he performed at great sacrifice. The
Bishop gave thanks for the kindly refer
ences to his work, but added that he had
''never sacrificed the Diocese of Ken
lucky to anything on this earth Mr.:
BRYAN explained that it was personal
sacrifice to which he referred. Judge
Fairbanks. of Florida, and Judge Stark,
of Connecticut, spoke to the question.
which was the adoption or rejection of
Bishop Dudley's resolution, offered as
substitute for the resolution Of the COM
mittee. A motion was made to recon-
NIT the question to the committee.
Bishop Tuttle, of Mi 'souri, made mo-
ton to lay on the table, which was car
