- WAT is the row about? Oh.
~ it's new phase of the old
row-a row which has last

it's new phase OF the ola
row-a row which has last
ed since time when the
trary; q row that has left Bishop
without an acceptable church and
church without an acceptable Bishop;
a row which seems likely to last as
long as His Lordship Of Honolulu, an
Anglican shepherd in an American fold,
liz able to stand up as did Rhoderc Dhu
before the boulder and declare:
Come one, come all!
This rock shall fly
From its firm base as
Soon as !!
But to particularize. without going
into diocesan affairs generally, it Is
enough to say that Rev. John osborne,
at the head of an Episcopal congreGa-
tion in full spiritual fellowship with the
Anglican body but at more or less odds
With the Bishop Of Honolulu, has been
aolding services at ST. Clements chapel
for considerable period Mr.. US
borne, in the performance of his du-
ties. has won wide esteem. An indie
Satigable church worker he has carried
on services daily, the chapel being open
FOR morning prayers on week days; ana
on Sundays he has followed the usual
program. Mr.. osborne has also built
up fourishing Sunday school and
guild and helped to conduct the Church
Defence and Extension Association. In
all respects st. Clements, az everybody
Ayol
way knows. has become force for
good in the community. The attend
ance OF church people at its Sunday
services is much greater than that
which is enjoyed by the Bishops SER
vices at the Cathedral
His Lordship of Honolulu, however,
will not take st. Clements under his
ecclesiastical wing. He was willing to
do so when the chapel was organized
providing the trustees in charge of the
property would convey it to his do
cesar ownership; but the trustees, one
Of whom was Mr.. osborne. refused to
10 so, fearing complications after the
union of the Islands with the United
States had altered. as they presumed 1t
would 40, the national relations of the
Church in Hawaii. So they made their
deeds to the Episcopal Church at
Large" intending to alter them when
they found what change in the status
of the church would follow Bishop VIII
lis anticipated withdrawal
These conveyances were made IN 1897.
Since that time until the present
month. His Lordship of Honolulu had
done nothing more than 10 protest AT
the "lrregularity" of the deeds and
withhold the light of his countenancs
from st. Clements. But when the pres
snt ides OF March came he determined
10 strike "A blow. His reasons may be
guessed from the fact that st. Glenn
ents'. represented by the Church De-
fence and Extension Association, had
begun to appear In print, taking a CON
troversial attitude with Bishop willis
over his decision to hold the Bishopric
even though 1t might cut off the Church
in Hawaii from the Jurlsdictlonal care
Of the church establishment in Eng
land or America. Bishop Willis evil
IDENTIFY thought that the best way TO
take the edge of the criticisms of the
ST. Clements people In church journals
abroad was 10 put the critics outside
the pale OF the church. Hence these
impressive circulars reference 90 which
