DIOCESE OF INDIANA
ANNUAL STATE GATHERING of THE
EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Address by Bishop Whfte-Omcers to
BE Elected To-Day-Mission-
AIRY Meeting.

The annual convention of the Episcopal
diocese of Indiana was opened yesterday
In st. Pauls Church, in this city. About
seventy-five delegates were present. After
the opening address by Bishop White, in
which the objects of the convention were
graphically outlined, the delegates, includ-
ing both clergy and laity, effected an or
ganization and elected Rev Willis d. Engle,
OF this city, as secretary. After an adjourn
ment for lunch the convention reassembled
at 23O for the placing in nomination of
names for officers to be elected for the en-
suing year. This election takes place at
10 q. m. to-day, and is for the standing
committee, board of missions and clerical
and lay deputies to the general convention
to be held this year in Washington.
Last evening the delegates were all in
attendance at the general missionary meet
ing of the convention. AS a preliminary
Bishop White read the report of the situa-
ton in regard to the field work of the
church throughout the STATE, showing that
with few exceptions those missions already
established were in a good condition, but
he deplored the fact that there was still a
large field which the church yet a
stranger to. AS an illustration he stated
that in the entire State there were only
seven thousand communicates of the church
and several counties where no services had
ever been held.
Following the bishop were addresses by
Dean Hunter, of this city, on the same
subject, urging greater effort by the church
ito accomplish more where much was need
ed. Dean Seabrease, of Fort Wayne, then
addressed the convention, urging renewed
efforts looking to a revival of the work
and stating that the fault of the failure to
cover the whole field was not altogether
with the clergy. He likened the work of
some of the rectors to that of a man who
started to drag wagon up a hill with the
help of some friends. At first the wagon
went up nicely, but as the ascent grew
sleeper the wagon dragged more heavily,
and finally the man stopped, and on look
ing around found that al his helpers were
riding in the wagon.
Dr. Seabrease was followed by Dean
Adams of Jeffersonville. Rev; John Sulger
of Terre Haute, H. M. Densloe of Muncie
and by Aquilla Jones of this city, who all
dwelt on the need of concerted effort by
the whole church in order to accomplish the
task assumed by the board of missions.
