Ranid Growth of the Church.

Rlpid Growth OF the ChtlFtu.
MINNEAPOLIS, Oct 15.-In the Episcopal
house of deputies today Rev. ii. Z. Duii-
can, of Louisiana, in his report on the
state of the church. said that since the last
conference, in 1892, ten bishops had died
and fourteen had been consecrated. Tour
of whom went TO Missionary districts. Inc
church now had 70 bishops, 4,544 clergy
men, sol candidates for lay orders, iso,So
baptisms in the past year, and l5l,4I5 con-
formations. There were now 6ls,5oo COM
municants, 5157 churches and nearly @o
institutions of a benevolent o. educational
character. Contributions from all sources
had reached $3S, coo, 600 DR.. Duncan showed
that the body of communicates was grow
ing faster than the number or the cleFss'
The increase in the triennium had oeen
65,7sl, while the list of priests had grown
but Isl, fact he attributed to lnsuih-
cheney and diminution of stipends. Inc
income for the three years was SS}'VoN less
than for the preceding period.
The committee made recommendations
for patriotic services ON the attn OF july,
for stricter regard for the divorce law OF
the church. for better Sabbath observance,
and for a more active propaganda Tor
Christian teaching,
The house of bishops concurred in the
action OF the deputies providing Tor 1nai
adjournment on October %, on which day
tho pastoral letter will be read. Most OF
the morning session was devoted to consu-
tutional revision. An amendment was
adopted to- article 5, making the consent
OF the bishops of dioceses affected as wen
as that Of the convention necessary before
any diocese or missionary jurisdiction
could be enacted.
The deputies finally passed the Packard
resolution, referring the subject OF con-
stituticnal revision 10 a new commission,
composed of six clerical and six lay dele
gates. The bishops Will have no connection
with the work of this commission. The
house had previously defeated a proposal
TO refer the master back to the present
iont commission. The establishment of a
provincial system was excepted from the
matters referred to the new commission.
The house of bishops reconsidered their
action IN deciding not to send 2 bishop 10
Alaska, and, with the concurrence OF the
house Of deputies, one will be elected.
