PSCuiidr cases OF the cnurCh. Judge

The consideration of the nominations
for missionary bishops began behind
closed doors as soon as the afternoon

| ops for foreign lands
| DR. Fulton said: 1.-The mere matter OF
the question is whether We Will concur
| with the bishops in the selection of ar
! ticle 3. a new discussion of the subject
Will amount to nothing The best thing
is TO concur with the House of Bishops"
Dean Honmon's Idea.
1T has been said that the bishops will
not recede from their decision" said Dean
! Hoffman. II do not believe that the ac-
| tion of the bishops was a wise one, and
do not see why they would not reeede
1 do not believe the bishops should in
volve this entire church by setting up
churches in foreign lands"
The chair explained that no action OF
this convention would repeal any article.
That result would devolve on the next
convention. The diocesan vote was then
| taken and the motion for concurrence
