Differences in theology coming to notice
among the E-plscopalians in Jew York
brought out by the Briggs incident, and
resulting In a contest over an election OF
Standing Committee, Information concern
ing the relative strength Of High. Low
and Broad Church parties in that com
munion throughout the whole country can
not be uninterestns, particularly IN view
Of the fact that the controversy is nbt yet
ended, and that. under other names, the
differences obtain in almost all religious

Church tendencies. They are Eon du Lac,
Milwaukee, Chicago and Springfield.
