OF Bishops, Right Rev. Thomas Frank
Gailor, the Bishop of Tennessee. advoca-
ted the development of the EDiscopal
church in the United States along national!
lines, with a view to the creation of ,
distinctively American church. Bishop
Gailor took the ground that the Unitei
States did not need the church OF Eng
land but the church of America. He
was opposed to the Episcopal churcn he
ing called a branch of the church OF
England and also to the introduction OF
English forms and customs into ,nr
American church.
Bishop Gailor is in favor of a change of
name from the Protestant Episcopal
church to a more appropriate title.
THE Bishop of Southern Virginia. the
Right Rev. DR.. Randolph, read paper
upon the work of tGc church among ne
groes in the United States
After resolutions of sympathy and fra
ternal greeting, to the Archbishop of
Rupertsland prevented by sickness from
being present. the conference adjourned.
Bishop Randolph in bis paper, said the
need of theS negro as foundation Of
Cild1dctCE anu tiNlIlEdNiOIt MiS lSilIly liIS.
He regarded. the negro's contact with poll
ces as an obstacle to his religious and
moral development and expressed the
opinion that the restriction of the negro,
right of suffrage in the Southern States
had removed the obstacle to such develop
ment. Indiscriminate suffrage, the bishop
said, had depraved the negro conscience
and the political conscience of the whole
country.

since d. c. Reardon resigned by request

Mr.. McCleery said he had no reason to
give for his action except that as the board
was now reorganizing he felt it the proper
time to step out, a thing which he had
long desired TO do, as the work was be-
coming laborious and required more time
than he could devote to il.

not voluntary, but there was no in

Mamma That Fed the Children of
Israel Like the Love of Christ,
the Preacher Says.

Interest in the tent revival at Ray street
and Arbor avenue, in charge of Rev. George
s. Henninger, of Trinity M. f. Church,
West Indianapolis, continues and the at
tendance at all the meetings has been en-
ouraging. A large choir has been secured

services. Tonight Rev. c. G.. Edwards, of
the Edwin Ray NJ. l.. Church, will preach
and Mr.. w. F. Bornkamp will sing.
1.-THE Heavenly Mamma was the subject
of Mr.. Henningers talk last night, which
was given before large crowd. The mama,
food that fell from heaven for the children
Of Israel every morning, was likened to the
spirit of Christ. The bread sustained the
wandering Israelites for the day just as the
love of Christ will keep those who love
Him, he said. The mama was supplied
in the wilderness as Jesus is present in this
wilderness of sin, he declared.
THE bread in the old days had to be re-
newed, and so il is with our spiritual bless
ings," said Mr.. Henninger, they must be
renewed each day. The mamma had to be
gathered in the morning like the fruits of
break of day. The speaker dwelt at length
on the fact that each man must work out
his own salvation. for the bread for the
children of Israel had to be sought by each
for himself. Another point made was that
each one could only use enough for him
self. In concluding the speaker said that
If neglected. the bread of life was lost

George Hitz. Prohibition candidate for

hundred voters i'm attendance when the

home OF Mr.. Taylor had been tastefully dec
Grated in huge figs and the lawn was light
ed with japanese lanterns, hung through
the trees.
The Rev. NJ. Coleman, pastor of Allen
Chapel, A. Nj. E., was the first speaker.
Mr.. Coleman confined his remarks to a con-
demnation of the liquor evil, which, he
says, is fast running the younger genera
ton.
''On this question | would like TO see all
colored men take up the fight with the
white men, said he. 'In that line we
can do great good, for when either the
black or the white man becomes filled
with that awful stuff the devil takes hold
of him and often murder is the result. My
friends, want to talk to the colored peo-
pie of this city on this question. To them
L send out my words of warning-keep
away from the saloons. The negro is
handicapped because his white brothers
have striven to hold him down. The only
place where the the whites and blacks are
on equality is in the barroom. Even in
the winerooms both white and colored wom-
ELI congregate. No race distinction is
shown there. 1t is / say that only in
the places where vice is most rampant that
the negro is on an equal with the white
man. If we try to get into the workshop
the coIored man is barred by the white. 1t
is that way in many of the other institu-
lions of the country. This rum selling must
stop In closing DR.. Coleman made a
plea for the election of Mr.. Hitz.
Mr.. Hitz excused himself from going into
any lengthy argument on the issues of the
campaign. merely saying that he stood for
a law and order organization and he was
sure he would be elected if every man who
wished TO see good government would vote
for him at the election in October. Mr..
HitZ said his throat had become affected
during the strenuous campaign and he al
lowed G. T.. Newlin to take his place. The
latter spoke strongly against both of the
dominant parties and said they stood for
nothing but dishonesty in government. He
also made a plea for the election of Mr..
HitZ.

PESTHOUSE Is NO MORE
TORCH Is APPLIED TO BUILDINGS
NEAR CITY HOSPITAL.
Council Expected to Take Early Ac-
ton ON Appropriation Ordinance
for New Pesthouse.

The five buildings just west of the City
Hospital. which have been used as tenn
porary pesthouses, Were burned to the
ground at noon yesterday. One small cot
tage which has been used by the nurses
was left standing and will be fumigated
and made use OF in connection with the
hospital.
The council committee on finance has
under consideration an ordinance intro
duced several weeks ago by City Controller
Breunig asking for an appropriation for
the purchase of site for new pesthouse
and the construction of the building or
buildings. Now that the old pesthouses
are out Of the way it is thought the Coun-
ell will soon take action on the appropria-
ton ordinance. Under the act of the last
Legislature the new pesthouse must be
located much farther away from residences
than the ole buildings were The burning
of the old buildings came as the result of
complaints from residents in the vicinity of
the City Hospital that the buildings were
a menace to health. A hose company was
present when the torch was applied to the
buildings TO see that no damage was done
to adjoining property.
