Countess Tor-,oi scores Mgr. Antoni

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG. April S.-A letter
from Countess Sophia Tolstoi 10 Mgr. An
toni. metropolitan OF ST. Petersburg. and
the metropolitan's answer are published In
the official Ecclesiastical Messenger. After
declaring her unalterable determination TO
die in the orthodox church. the countess
castigates Mgr. Antoni and the Holy synod
for the secret circular In the clergy for
bidding Count TolstOi's burial with the
rites OF the church. The expression ''spir-
itual seasons the cOuntess's
charge that the scrvants of the church
have rejected the law OF love for worldly
power and pride. She concludes by antici.
pating a hypocritical refutation Of her
position. The metrOpolitan's answeF not
logically contends that Count Toistoi FIRST
disassociated from the orthodox faith. and
that the Holy Synod merely took note OF
his he~terodoXy. Mgr. Antoni says: You
are receiving expressions OF sympathy
from the whole world. but | do not believe
that they will comfort you. There is a
human and "A divine glory"

ENCOURAGEMENT in
FIGURES OF CENSUS

The eensus taker may give but doubtful
testimony to the progress of the church,
and now, In the ancient days, 1t may be
foolishness unto the Lord TO be numbering
his people lest our confidence shall be in
our multitude rather than in his spirit. yet
may we be strengthened by the witness of
the Government OF our country that the
proportionate gain of the ancient church of
our race has in the past decade been greater
than that Of any other organization for the
teaching OF Christ's religion. And although
already intimated the company Of the
preachers is not yet great, although the
young manhood Of the church in most of
our dioceses has apparently but little en-
thusiasm for the work OF its ministry; al
though this is an alarming sign Of our
time, an evil whose explanation we may
seek IN our further consideration, yet we
may and must thank God that a number
every year do offer themselves for the self
denying service. And lastly, despite the
lusubr1ous recountal OF our parsimony
which one may hear on every hand, de-
spite the deficit in the receipts Of our mis-
sionary treasurer which has made US
afraid. despite the fact that beyond all con-
troversy our gifts to missions are as moth
ing when reckoned by the rule of Christian
self-surrender, by the proportion of the
wealth Of churchmen, and by comparison
with the magnificent donations Of church
men to objects and institutions not under
church control, yet even herein may we
not be made afraid, for without the shadow
Of doubt the progress in this particular.

Christian obligation, has been marvellous
Go, read the records in the mission house.
You shall not be long employed in adding
the paltry columns which proclaim the
total Of contributions to missions in these
years now long past. Until the day came
that the heroic utterance was made that
membership in the church is membership in
the missionary society, that the necessary
obligation Of every baptized disciple is to
give to missions, till then the contributions
were, one may almost dare say nothing.
But since that day the progress has been
regular and marked; yes, we dare de-
clare that enthusiasm for missions has
burned with ever increasing flame.
See the women of the church as organized

Rev. DR.. Huntington of New York, from

No. 43 from the House of Bishops relative
to the proviso to article 10 of the consti-
, tuition. viz: that nothing in the article
shall be construed as restricting the au-
thority of the Bishops of the church to
take such order as may be permitted by
the rubric Of the Book of Common
Prayer, or by the canons of the General
Convention for the use of special forms
of worship. The committee reported that
the privilege already existed and no ac-
ton was necessary, for which reason they
asked to be discharged. The matter was
placed on the calendar.
Rev. DR.. Duncan of Louisiana, chairman
of the committee on the state of the
church, reported that no further action
could be taken on the memorial from the

sideration of these subjects. 1t was so
ordered.
Rev. DR.. Moore. chairman of the joint
committee On conference relative to Sc
cresy in the nomination of missionary

This was so ordered.

ACCIDENTALLY DIVIDED

Upon motion Of a clerical delegate a
map of the State under consideration was
presented to the convention so that the
deputies could appreciate the extent of
its territory and the necessity Of dividing
it into two sections. While the delegates
were putting up the big map it was acct
dentally torn in half and the convention
was convulsed with laughter. This was
aggravated by the chairman, who asked
that the next speaker should be allowed
to continue his speech on the division OF
Kansas"
Deputy Lyman of Chicago spoke in IA
vor of the adoption of the majority re-
port, which was favorable to the petition
but twenty-five churches in territory
which had 100000 population showed the
necessity for some active work there.
Rev. DR.. Tayler of Los Angeles said
that the arguments made in favor of the
minority report had convinced him of the
wisdom of adopting the majority report
He believed that if the work of the church
was encouraged by the proposed division
the time would come when it's growth
" ould require four or five dioceses in
Kansas, instead of the two now asked for.
Lay Deputy Brown raised the point that
all the requirements of the constitution
had not been complied with. Deputy
Randall took the platform to show that
Mr. Brown was mistaken.
Lay Deputy Thomas withers followed
and told of the growth of the church.
He said it was great country and the
Bishop of Eastern Kansas had more work
than he could do He therefore hoped
the convention would give that State an
other Bishop.
Charles Maxwell Clement Of Pennsyl-
vania, a majority member of the COM
mittee, added something more in favor
of it's report. At the conclusion of his
speech he asked that vote be taken on
the subject in five minutes. This was
agreed upon.
Mr.. Fairbanks followed and also spoke
in favor of the resolution.
Robert Treat Paine. in support of the
minority report. argued that inas1nuch as
all the railroads in Kansas ran east and
west the proposed division was on wrong
geographical lines. If the present propo-
sition was defeated the next move. he
thought, would be to get more reason
able and practical division.
Rev. DR.. Short of Oregon answered the
last speaker. He said the Bishop of KAN
sas had answered the question most sat
isfactorily to the majority of the commits
tee of which he had the honor of being y
member. The Bishop of Kansas said he
would rather have nothing if the State
was to be divided east and west. There
were cries of why? from the deputies.
DR.. Short said he considered the growth
of the State and the missionary work Of
the church could be better carried on if
the division was made north and west
lines.
There were further cries of "Why?"

Items on the calendar were next taken
up. Robert Treat Paine took the platform
to tell what the committee on new dio-
ceses had done in relation to the memorial
of the diocese of Kansas, asking that a
certain portion of that State be set off as
a missionary district. He was opposed to
the resolution to make a permanent mis-
sionary district out of that portion Of
"If we make it a missionary district" he
said, 'ft is so for years and years to come.
1t is taking OFF of the Eastern portion Of
Kansas that responsibility that belongs

In concluding his speech Mr.. Paine
moved to lay the entire matter on the ia

THE close Of the General Con-
vention Of the Episcopal
church Of America was mark
~ ed last evening by solemn
service In the ediice OF Trinity
Church. where the sessions Of
the convention have been held for the past
three weeks.
AS at the opening service the church
was far too small to accommodate those
who desired TO listen 10 the concluding
service and the pastoral letter Of the
Bishops.
The House Of Deputies prolonged its ses-
sion yesterday until 5 D. N. and no time
was available 70 clear away the platform
that had been used in the proceedings Of
the lower house The desks were carried
away and chairs were arranged for the
Bishops who were TO take part in the serv-
ice.
The galleries Of the church were crowd
&c with ladies and the aisles were .solidly
blocked with members of the fair sex,
dozens being accommodated with seats by
courtesy Of the clerical and lay deputies.
A force Of police was on hand to main
tain order outside the church and to
watch over the safety Of those gathered
in the building.
When the House Of Deputies adjourned
q committee was appointed to notify the
House Of Bishops that all was in readi-
ness for the closing service.
The surpliced choir of Trinity Church
took its place in the left gallery of the
church and at $50 p. m. the tones of
the organ announced that the final scene
was TO be enacted in the great religious
gathering Of Episcopalians in this city,
The Bishops, who had donned their
robes Of office in the vestry room Of the
church, marched in procession along Bush
street TO the main entrance TO the church

pliced lad carrying aloft the golden cross
Then came the secretaries Of the Bishops
and Deputies, wearing their surplices and
red hoods Of college degrees.
The younger Bishops led the procession
and when the head Of the column of pre-
lates had arrived at the chancel, lines
were formed through which the elder dig
nitaries walked and ascended the plat

AMR n its efforts to clean up the busi-
"a ness of the session the House Of
Deputies went to work yesterday
morning with a rush. Long
speeches were looked upon with
disfavor, and motions and reso-
lutions were acted upon with quickness
that was surprising. An attempt was
made to have the reading of the minutes
dispensed with, but as this was impossi-
BILE, owing to a constitutional provision,
time had to be taken to tell of the doings
ef the preceding day.
Two messages were read from the
House of Bishops notifying of its concur
renee with the deputies in amending title
1, canon 13, exempting from the operation
Of that measure relating to the age limit
for deaconesses those who have already
entered as candidates for that order, and
