The procession moved according to in
verse seniority of conservation. In the

tie, bishop of Missouri, and presiding
bishop of the church, and the Right Rev.

bany, the appointed preacher of the con-

Quoted. The Archbishop of Canterbury
was given the most honorable part of the
service, namely, the reading of the gos-
! pei. The reading of the epistle was
given to the Bishop Coadjutor of Mont
real.
Bishop Doane's discourse dealt at
length with the divisions Of Christendom
He referred to the barriers which sep
arate the Anglican Church, church
both Catholic and Protestant from the
other denominations, and considered
how the barriers might be eliminated in
some degree He thought an attempt
should be made to find the starting
point of the disagreement and thus be in
Ma position to reach 2 better understand
ing with the Church of Rome and the
various Protestant bodies.
The recognition of Papal supremacy,
he declared, was impossible but he
thought that the church might readily
recognize the primacy of the Bishop of
4 Rome on account Of the antiquity Of the
Roman See. His sermon was a plea for
/ the broadening of the church's sphere.
