The oyster dredgers and tongers, who
have been making game fight against
odds to prevent the closing Of what have
long. been considered open oyster rocks in
Nomini and Curriomen bays. on the lower
Potomac, have lost their fight, the Virginia
legislature having declared against them,
and by large majority, by confirming the
lease of the oyster lands under a FORMER
act of the legislature to private parties.
The oyster dredgers' contention was that
the oyster beds in the bodies OF water
named were natural and should be open to
the public for all time. Many OF the oysters
used in this city come from the Nomini and

Anglican Basis for Church Unity.

'Of the four terms Of the Anglican basis
for church unity, the Evangelical Protes-
tant bodies of America accept three with
deep religious conviction. Though for their
sakes as well as our own. we must stand
unfaltering witnesses for that principle of
an organic church which Is anchored safe
by the historic feet of an apostolic episco-
pate, yet we must never forget that this
is but one point of difference standing over
against three of agreement"
After reciting the conditions in the re-
ligious world Bishop Satterlee said:
From the Christians point Of view the
same influences which are tending to make
the United States the richest and most
powerful of all the nations will make 1t the
most secuIiarized country of the world If
under the existing conditions our church is
to take a leading part In the reunion of a
divided Chrfstendom, then her members
should take a long look ahead, lest they
make any false steps In raising new bar
riers or else causing Christian believers at
large to lose confidence in the strength Of
her position.
IF there had been no Protestant reforma-
ton in the sixteenth century neither the
would have been what they are today. For
a longer time than the antf-Nfcene period
we have stood firm, as protestants, against
the errors Of Rome. In this sense our
church is truly called Protestant Episco-
pail Yet because she stands for so much
more than mere protest against Roman
ism, and because of the growing sense OF
responsibility which is engendered, as we
comprehend more and more her real catho-
