WORK OF THE fRIENNIAL
Churchman'S League Discusses the
Recent Convention.
Rev. DR.. Elliott and Mr.. Skipwith
Wilmer Tell What 1t Did
for the Church.

The autumn meeting of the Churchman'S
League OF the District OF Columbia was held
last evening in the Sunday school room Of
Epiphany Church, G street, between Thir-
teeuth and Fourteenth streets northwest.
The meeting was largely attended, and was
presided over by Commissioner TruesdeIl.
After the roltinc business, during which
interesting and satisfactory reports were
submitted by the secretary and treasurer,
short addresses were made by Rev John Il.
Elliott, S. T. D., pastor of the Church of
the Ascension, and Mr.. Skipwith Wilmer,
delegate TO the general convention held in
Baltimore.
Concerning the work of the convention,
REV. DIR. Elliott said that there was one
thing about it worthy OF especial note, and
that was the smoothness with which every
thing was done. There was not even the
senbIance of friction, and all this is at
tributable to the strict adherance TO the
laws of the church.
Nothing was done hastily. The church
OF to-day is true to the principles of the
primitive church in adapting everything ac-
cordiBg to time and place.
In concluding he spoke ofthe conservative
ness OF the convention in all its under
takings and in reference TO the admis-
sion OF congregations as 4 whole, briefly
defined the requi rem ents necessary to
the candidate for confirmation and the
candidate for orders.
Mr.. Wilmer said as with Congress so
it was with the general convention every
body wants to know what was done. And
again, as with Congress very often. we
say it did not do anything. But this is
not literally true. There was a little
done, and we can congratulate our
selves with the knowledge that that little
was done well There is always a natural
yearning he said. for change in Ole way
or another. and in this the convention did
nothing, but as far as meeting the de
mands and needs and progress of the
church is concerned it did a great deal.
With all respect to the clergy, NJ Wilmer
said, the great conservative force OF the
church is found IN its laymen. for no mat
ter what changes are asked for they are
never consented to unless they are showns
absolutely necessary for the advancement
of the whole church.
At the conclusion OF the address rising
vote of thanks were rendered Rev. DIR.
Elliott and Mr.. Wilmer.
