find opportunity Of large discourse in
its consid Iteration.
1t is probable that some action will be
taken at the Baltimore convention with
regard to the "canons of ordination"
The fact is a highly suggestive one,
that not a few ministers of other re-
ligious bodies seek admission into the
ministry OF the Protestant Episcopal
church. At the general convention held
in New York in 1889 the house of
bishops made such amendments to the
canons of ordination as would reduce
considerably the time of preparation
for the ordination of ministers from
other bodies. No action was taken in
the matter by the house of deputies,
but it is probable that the coming con-
vention will act in the direction Of ia
cilitaaing the advent into the ministry
of the chslrch of men who, by their ex-
perience as ministers in other bodies,
are already partially, and, in some in
stances. finely qualified for almost i'm
mediate ervice.
Another subject Of great Importance
to the fut ure of the church in this vast
country, and which probably will be
discussed in the convention, is that of
dividing the United States into prov
inces, eae b of these to consist of several
dioceses- This is a very serious and
great que stion. among others involving
geographical difficulty. New York
state includes at the present time five
dioceses, and these would be constituted
one province without the geographical
difficulty suggested; but obviously
provincial boundaries could not be
made cote rrninous with state bound
aries. Tiny Rhode Island could not be
constituted a province, while New York
would be. The provincial system would
involve the abolition of the present
practice of every diocese IN the church
having vote for or against the conse-
Grafton OF a bishop elected By one OF
them, the vote of every diocese
within the province then only being

me that it was a dying effort. for

This unfinished obelisk shows the
mode in which tho ancients separated
these immense monolths from the

marking the boundary of the stone, are
holes evidently designed for wooden
wedges. After these had been firmly
driven into the holes, the groove was
filed with water. The wedges,

inundation of the Nile, when the rising

A CHURCH COUNCIL.
General Convention Of Episcopa-
ians at Baltimore.
Are They to Have Revised Prayer Book,

ical Report and Its Prob
able Fate.
rcopYp1eHr. 1921


The church Of George Washington
and most of the other eminent leaders
in the American revolution will hold q
triennial council in Baltimore, begin
ming on the first Wednesday in October
next. Numerically the Protestant
Episcopal church is far behind the
Catholic. Methodist and Baptist bodies,
but it is, in proportion, by far the
wealthiest of all the religious organiza-
tions of the United States, and is grow
ing in membership and influence faster
than any other of them. The chief of
tho division of religious statistics Of the
forthcoming United States census
estimates the total church member
ship Of this country at about 20,000,00O,
with property amounting to s646, 1885,
704. In round numbers, the Episcopal
cants and property amounting to $751;
600, 900, or S146 per capita. Before the
revolution the clergy received orders in
England; after the revolution certain
American clergymen were consecrated
bishops by the English church. The
Church of England and the Protestant
Episcopal church are alike as constitut-
ing branches of the Anglican COM
munion, and the eloquence OF Phillips
Brooks is as much at home in West
minister Abbey as in Trinity church,
Boston.
The triennial council. to be held in
Baltimore in October, will be known as
the general convention of 1892 1t will
consist, as its predecessors consisted, of
two houses, the house of bishops and
of both houses is necessary to the
validity of decisions governing and
binding on the church, but legislation
may be originated in either one Of them.
