BUSY TO CHANGE NAME

the 11Sth annual convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church of the
Diocese of Massachusetts in the chapel
of Trinity Church here yesterday.
Bishop William Lawrence said: Sport
and amusement have made great in
roads on our Sunday congregations. The
power OF strong drink has its clutch
upon our cities: gambling IS unsettling
habits of industry; many forms If temp
tation are undermining the characters
of youth. Now. with such conditions
about us, what is the church doing? We
are discussing whether We shall change
the name of the church. If our church
keeps at her work of saving men and
giving spiritual life to the people the
time may come when she may lake an
other name. Meanwhile 1 do not think
it expedient."
