thank Almighty God for the seeming
unanimity. The vote was taken as fol-
lows: Clerical vote 55 ayes, ] no; divided
2; lay vote, 81 ayes and noes. The
substitute was declared adopted.
DIR. Dix Immediately moved the adop-
tion OF article II of the constitution,
which provides that no change shall be
made in the constitution unless first pro-
posed in the general convention, sent 10
the different dioceses and then adopted by
a majority of the whole number of bishops
entitled TO vote, and by a majority of the
clerical and lay delegates.
Considerable debate was occasioned on
this article on account Of the clause pro-

Der of bishops entitled to vote must ap-
prove any change in the constitution.
Many amendments were offered and laid
on the table, and on final vote the article
was adopted practically as it came from

constitution as follows:
Constitution, adopted in General Con-
ventiOn, in Philadelphia, October, 17S9, as
amended in subsequent General Conven-
tions.
Rev. DR. Mann proposed to amend by
adding the words "of the American
Church" after the word Constitution"
He was arguing in favor of his amend
ment when interrupted by the chair TO
announce adjournment for the noon re-
cess.
Dr. Mann was of the opinion that the
question of the name of the church had
got 10 be settled and he believed there
was general sentiment in favor of call
ing il THE American Church., dropping
the words Protestant Episcopal" which
he declined Were both comprehended in
the word church"

Nention was announced to take place at
the National Florence Crittenten Mission,
