DISCUSSED CHRISTIAN UNITY.
Episcopalans DO Not Make Much Pro-
gress on the Subject.

gress on the subject.
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. l5-Thc subject of
church unity came to the front almost at
the opening of the session of the Episcopal
house of deputies. y report was pre-
sentcd by a majority of the Committee on
amendments To the constitution presenting
an amendment empowering any bishop to
recognize congregations outside the Epis-
copal church and take them under his spc-
cial care provided such congregation sub
scribes to the Episcopal creed, in which
case il need not necessarily Ne confirmed
\ minority report signed by six mem
bcrs of the committee was presented by
Rev. J. J. Faudc, of Minneapolis. The
minority opposed the amendment be-
cause it touched the book of common
prayer and gave bishops the right TO set
aside the customs and canons of the
church. The report called attention To
the fact that there had been absolutely no
response to the advances made by the
church toward unity, and that this move
was premature. The matter was made Il
special order.
The deputies spent all the afternoon de-
batting propositions looking to cessation
of the debate on the constitutional re.
vision question and the reference of the
entire matter TO special committee. All
the speakers of the afternoon and every
one else. for that matter, conceded that il
would he impossible tn get through the re-
vision at this session. but nothing definite
was decided upon.
The house of bishops decided not to elect
a bishop of Alaska ut present, but To add
the territory to the missionary ,listri OF
Olympia. and place it in charge of Bishop
Barker. the present bishop of Olympia
The proposition to set off the northern
part of Minnesota as a missionary dis
.rict was agrGsd To.
