| tion in effect depends upon the votes of the
| clergy. while the laity has practically only
| the privilege of ratifying the election and
| has nothing to do with the original selection.
| This Is not regarded as a thoroughly salts

to be rather out of date. as there are only
three dioceses in the country which still
adhere to it,
An election of delegates to the general
convention of the church will also be held.
This diocese is entitled to eight delegates,
four clergymen and four laymen, to repre-
| sent 1t at the Minneapolis convention.

Reasons for Division.
At the morning service at the Church of
the Epiphany yesterday the rector, Rev.
DR.. Randolph H. McKim, delivered ser
mon, which had for its subject the pro-
posed division of the diocese. He gave 4
number of reasons why, in his opinion,
the division should be eonsummated, and
along what lines it should be made. In
the course of his address DR.. Mckim said:
First of ALL the diocese ought to be di-
vided, because the burden of the work,
as it Is today, is too great for one bishop.
and division is the best and most effectual
method of relief. In his annual address to
the convention in 1923. the bishop, although
declaring that the pressure and amount of
work had almost doubled since his COLI
secration, yet refrained from recommend
ing division upon that ground. But tie
special committee of four clergymen and
three laymen, which was then appointed
to consider the subject, and which made
its report to the convention of 1894, de-
clared that no bishop ought to be called
upon to endure and perform the work
which is laid upon the head of this
diocese
