PRoTBsTANTs 0RNsURB TRUSTS


NORFOLK, Va, Nov IS, lS96.-The
seventeenth session of the Congress of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the United
States was convened in historic Christ
Church. this city, yesterday. The OPEN
ing sermon was by Right Rev. Bishop
Satterlee, of the New Washington diocese
his theme being 'eThou shalt love the
Lord, thy God. with all thy mind, all
thy heart and all thy SOUL particularly
emphasizing love of the mind. Holy
Sacrament was administered by Bishops
Randolph Satterlee and Newton
The might session was held at the
Academy of Music. Bishop Alfred Me-
Gill Randolph OF Southern Virginia, Presi-
dent Of the Congress, delivered an impress
sive inaugural address, in which he cor
daily welcomed the delegates to the city
and the citizens to the Congress.
The topic for discussion was How
can social unity be best obtained?'' The
writer's and speakers upon this subject
were all men of national reputation em-
bracing the clergy. the press and the bar.
Those who participated were Rev Fred
erick Freese OF Macon. Ca; Rev Will
lam s. Hainsford, D. D.. of New York;
Rev. Prof. Ezra Gould, D. D., LII D., of
Philadelphia; Hon. Edwin Lawrence God
kin, editor of the Evening Post" New.
York, and the Hon. George W. Pepper. of
Philadelphia
The consensus of opinion was that the
church should furnish men of such char
acter that they would carry, out social
reforms compatible with Christian jus
tice but that the church itself could not
ensar the realm of social science.
In the course of the discussion such
evils of modern conditions as monopolies
and trusts came in for large share of
attention. The most startling portion of
the discussion was contributed by Prof.
Gould, who, in his reference to the de-
generacy of public conscience. said And
