THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
Questions of Moment Coming Before
Governing Body of the Church.
philadelphia Press)


Clergymen and lay members OF the
Protestant Episcopal Church are look
ing forward with keen interest to the
triennial general convention, which is
to be held in Washington from October
5th on. Questions OF great influence upon
the future of the Church will come up
for consideration, and radical departures
from existing conditions have been sug-
gested. Lengthy and vigorous debate is
expected on many OF these questions.
The general convention is organized as
a House of Bishops and House of Depu-
ties. In the House of Deputies
each regular diocese is entitled to four
clerical and four lay delegates, while
the missionary diocese may send one
clerical and one lay delegate each, who
have the privilege of debate, but no vote.
The question which has been most dis
cussed. in anticipation of the action of
the general convention, arises from a
proposed revision OF the canon governing
marriage and divorce Many high
churchmen and not few low churchmen
favor the substitution Of new
canon which will make it impossible for
a clergyman, legally, TO unite in mar
riage either party TO divorce. petit
ton for the adoption of stringent
canon on the question of marriage and
divorce has already received 1900 sigma
lures.

THE DIVORCE CANON.

The canon which applies TO the mar
rage of divorced persons at present IN
force is as follows:
"Canon l3. under Title 2, Section 2. No
minister. knowingly, after due inquiry,
shall solemnize the marriage OF any per-
son who has a divorced husband or
wife still living, If such husband or wife
has been put away for any cause arising
after marriage; but this canon snail not
be held to apply to the innocent party
in a divorce for the cause OF adultery, or
10 narties once divorced seeking TO be
united again.
In making its report, which will be
presented to the General Convention, the
'Ioint Commission on the Revision OF the
Constitution and Canons will recon-
mend that the following canon shall be
adopted in lieu of the one now In force:
"No minister OF this Church shall solemn
ize the marriage OF either party 10 d.
vorce during the life OF the other party"
The Joint commission which considered
this question during the last three years
was composed of Bishop Doane, OF AL
bany; Bishop Dudley, or Kentucky;
Bishop McLaren, OF Chicago; Bishop
Potter. of New York: Bishop Paret, OF
Maryland, and Bishop Burgess, OF Quincy;
Rev. Eugene A. Hoffman, Rev. James 8.

and Rev. William r. Huntington. and
Messrs w. II. Lightner, r.. q. Bradford,
+. ID. Swayne G. @. Saunders. j. A. Beal,
r. H. Miller, and W. S. Laidley.
The commission could not agree on the
canon regarding the marriage OF divorced
persons. and a considerable number OF
substitute canons have been prepared
and will be offered.
NAME OF THE CHURCH.
A proposition to change the name OF
the Church will also come up for con-
sideration. 1t Is held by many that the
present name-the Protestant Episcopal
Church--does not really indicate the scope
the purpose OF the Church. They claim
that IL is really the Holy Catholic Church.
and they suggest that II be calledn the

a change to the name Church in Amer
lea"
For this name, the claim Is made that
the now Protestant Episcopal Church mas
never changed from the time OF the apos-
ties. and that it is part or the holy
Catholic Church; It is. therefore. part
of the Church-that is, the only church
which dates back TO the apostles. and
which has preserved intact the teachings
OF the apostles, according to the Word or
God. and It is consequently. perfectly Just
and proper that IL should have the title or

sUBJECT OF MISSIONS.

The subject of missions will cause
much discussion. The acquisition OF
Hawaii and Porto Rico, and the opening
UP Of the Philippines and Cuba Will
make possible new opportunities for

is being prepared for already With par
ticular relation to Hawaii, an interest
ing question will have to be solved.
The Church OF England has establish
ed a missionary jurisdiction there. with
Bishop Alfred Willis in charge. 1t Is
proposed to absorb this diocese by
transferring 1t from the Anglican
Church to the American Church. With
the consent of Bishop Willis and the
Honolulu mission it would only require

present Bishop of Vermont, who was a
priest of the Diocese Of oxford when

of the present Bishop of New Hampshire,

or archbishop has been suggested, and a
lengthy debate upon the subject is -ex-
pected.
