 Rev. pr. J. Lewis Parks of New York, | on behalf of those who made the mi- nority report on the proposed divorce canon. withdrew the recommendation, l but the withdrawal does not mean that I there will be any let up in the fight against the proposal to prohibit clergy | men remarrying the innocent person in a divorce suit for infidelity while the l former partner lives. The members of l the minority considered that the situ- ation would be less complicated by the | withdrawal of the report.

 | Early in the afternoon the debate was put over until tomorrow
 The House of Bishops and House of Deputies held joint session late this | afternoon and heard reports from mis- sion fields. Tonight a public meeting of the church association for the ad- vancement of the interests of labor was held in Fauueil Hall at which a num- Der of prominent churchmen delivered addresses.
 The Archbishop of Canterbury and party left the city today on a special train for New York. from which port they will sail for nome tomorrow. The Duke of Newcastle. one of the leaders of the high church party in England. arrived here this afternoon and it Is expected he will attend some of the sessions of the general conven- tion.
 Rev. William H. Hare. Bishop of South Dakota, presented report today on Indian missions. The speaker dwelt upon the facts, first, that the Indians have been brought into contact with the whites by the white mans choice and not by their own, and, second. that this contact of the Indians with the whites. especially with the precursors of civilization, is inevitably accompa- nied by many influences injurious to the | Indians. so that the white mans prog ! ress and that of the Indians are gen. erally In inverse ratio.
 While admitting that adverse condi- | tions had been made in many of the | Indian tribes practically inaccessible to Christian work. the speaker dwelt upon the following facts:
 That in Minnesota out of population of 1000 Indians over 500 were com municants of the Episcopal Church; that in South Dakota, out of a popula- | ton of 10000 Indians. $500 are com,
 municants of the Episcopal Church; ! that there are ninety congregations and sixteen native clergymen besides about SO native catechists; that the congregations regularly make contribu- | tions for the domestic and foreign mis- | sionary society and other charities of I the church amounting to over ss.ooe I annually. t.gf FEF.. . | The speaker closed with these words l All success in work among the In-
 dians SO far as I know. has been the
 result of sympathy and fellowship with | them. They have seen that the mis- | sionaries valued them. They have seen l that the missionaries liked them. Dirt 1 and rudeness might exclude them from
 the missionary table but no color or
 race. On the other hand. all want of
 success of work for Indians and for negroes, too. has resulted largely from
 the fact that the workers have been under the dominion of the un-Chris-
 tian habit of mind which calls some
 classes of men, simply because of their
 race and color. common and unclean.'"
