the fact that 10 a majority OF the
churches the fonts were not OF sutfi-
Gent size to permit OF candidates

cordance with the rubrics re.
latipg to Baptism. he therefore
advocated the adoption of a new canon
making it the duty of every parish to
provide font of sufficient size to per-
nit of the baptism of infants, making
it unlawful for parish to continue the
use of font loo small for this pur.
pose and providing that before the end
of the year 1900 each church and Ca
thedral shall have placed therein
font of baptistry of sufficient size to
permit of the dipping of adults. The

THE EPISCOPALIANS.

Among tho reports presented to the
house of deputies Of the Episcopal
Convention at Minneapolis yesterday
was one from the committee on nomi.
nations, naming as trustees of the
General Theological Seminary all Of
the old board, and proposing Henry
Butt as the successor of Rev. DR.. Hall,
deceased. Majority and minority re-
ports on the proposition of the bishops
to change the title page of the Book OF
Common Prayer precipitated a warm
discussion. The bishops desired to in
sert the words according to the
American use," rather than insert the
whole name of the church. This was
interpreted by some as a move toward
changing the name of the church. 1t
was also argued that the revision of the
prayer book had been completed in
1892 and dropped. and that it would be
unwise 10 take it up again now. A
vote being taken, the deputies refused
to concur in the revision. There was
lively debate over another message
from the bishops, recommending the
reference of the canons to the present
revision commission, with instructions
10 report to the next convention.
A large element wanted the canors
to go TO the new commission, to which
the constitutional revision was referred
yesterday, but this was oyerruled in
the end, and the action of the bishops
coucurred in.
The house of bishops appointed
commission to prepare version of the
prayer book in German. The commit
tee to confer with the English church
as to board of reference on foreign
missions of the Anglican communion
appointed in 1880, reported that the
object for which it had been appointed
had been accomplished, and it was
discharged. The revision commission
reported finally with cannon IS on
marriage and divorce. The canon as
reported forbids any minister to SOL
emnize the marriage of any person
who has been divorced, unless that per-
son was the innocent party in a d.
vorce granted by the court for adul.
terry. If any one knows or believes

than allowed by the discipline of the
church, he may not administer bap-
tism or communion to the person, I'M
less death be imminent and the person
be penitent, without the consent OF the
bishop.
The house of bishops reconsiderei
their action in deciding not to send q
bishop to Alaska and, with the concur.
renee of the house of deputies, one will
be elected this week.
The deputies, after vigorous discus.
sion of the proposed system of pro.
vinces under archbishops, which is in.
tended to give the church a Judicial
system, voted to refer it to the new
constitutional commission. Most of
the bishops were in favor of the limo.
