REV. DR.. HUNTINGTON
STARTS DISCUSSION

In the debate that followed on the arti-
Gle the Rev. DR.. Huntington of New York
said:
So far as am concerned. and although I
have had no conference with any Of my as
sociates in forming this measure on the point.
! think may speak also for them, we should
be perfectly willing, after the succinct state
ment Of the purport Of this amendment by the
clerical deputy from Central New York who,
with such cieaTness and justice, has stated to
this house the purport Of every amendment
that has thus far come before US, TO come at
once 10 a vote upon the amendment There
seems TO be an impression about that some OF
the members Of this house are burning with

this subject believe that to be false i'm
preston and an erroneous r1lrnor. We have
not speeches that have been laid UP in laven-
Ger for three years which have brought
over from the East; not at all. But if there
is TO be discussion would like it TO be a
full discussion. that both sides may be fairly
represented. and that there may be artif-
clal check put upon the debate. Therefore,
while 7 an perfectly willing TO go on with
the debate, and wish to have the privilege of

The speaker was about to propose an
amendment TO cover this objection but
was reminded that amendments were not
In order. He then proceeded:
The canon OF this convention the canon of

the canon Of some individual diocese? I
also call attention a vital lapse in the
wording Of this proposed amendment. 1t does
not propose any safeguard that such canonical
legislation may not concern the sacraments Of
this church.

Rev. RI Carey was followed by Rev.
DR.. Oberly Of New Jersey, who said in
part:

missionary work is concerned We have all
the liberty and all the fexibility provided at
present which is necessary for missionary
work. / speak not theoretically because

practice myself, with the consent of more than
one Bishop under whom l have served. 1t Is
undoubtedly true that there are people to be
brought into the church who are not acquaint-
ed with the prayer book, with its rubrlcs, or
who are prepared to use it.
But the prayer book and the canons are quite
sufficient they are, and there is plenty of
hexibility, and we need nothing more. In the
Church of England there is no cry for in
creased facilities in missionary work, and the
Church of England is more ironbound than
we are in the use of its prayer book 1t Is

without this provision Of the constitution,
which answers the point that we do not need

morning and which made in 1875.
We do not need it, because the Bishops have
that power. Then why not take this provision
of the constitution and amend it and make il
safe and sound? If the deputies will turn IN
the journal of 1878 they will see that the Rev

Rev. Mr.. Egar moved that the vote on
this question be taken in ten minutes, and
that those ten minutes be given to the
Rev. Mr.: Huntington to close the debate.
The motion of Dr. Egar was put to a vote
and lost.
Deputy Stetson of New York moved
that the session be extended until D. m

JUDGE STINESS MAKES
FAVORABLE ARGUMENT

Judge Stiness of Rhode Island next ad-
dressed the house, saying:
1t seems to me that the elements of this
proposed amendment so simple and so
plain that there ought not to be any division
of opinion about them. The first of those ele-
union with this church; it is body outside of
it; secondly, that body desires to put itself
under the spiritual oversight of a Bishop
Can have any objection to it.? Is that let

They say not churchn1en, have not
been accustomed to your forms Of worship we
desire your spiritual oversight and guidance
but for temporary use we ask for some liberty
according to the needs and the understanding
of this congregation il is.
What is the harm in that? How there
be any difficulty in that. moreover, when you
are providing that any Bishop may take that
oversight subject to the provisions of a canon
which you shall adopt, setting forth all tho
safeguards that you consider to be necessary =?

as to the doctrines that should be taught to
children, and that outside of the
church should be taught them. But how are
they to be taught those doctrines? He says
they may not be satisfied with some of our
congregations; they go to these outsiders as
though they were authorized at once they go
to a congregation not in union with this
church, they excommunicate themselves, and
If they have any such opportunity they can
just as easily do 1t now as they after you
have got this canon. They are not letting
down the bars. 1t seems to to be the
most conservative and at the same time the
could possibly put forth upon this subject.
