layman's view which entirely agreed
with DR.. Lawrence.
1t Is fact that while some OF the
clergy of the large parishes do re-
ceive an adequate salary. the great
majority receive barely enough to live
on. A few are able by great economy
to carry a little life insurance for the
protection of their families. but most
of them have continually In their
minds the fact that when they die
their family will be dependent on
charity. 1t seems strange that so
many forget that the clergy have as
much love for their families as any
layman can. Having this love, and be-
ing human. the clergy cannot help
worrying over their future, and worry
Is not conducive to good mental or
spiritual work.
The House Of Bishops passed a
resolution looking toward the estap-
iishing of permanent place of meet
ing for the General Convention. but
the House of Deputies failed to con-
cur. There is a feeling against cen
tralization which has been very,
marked in several proceedings OF the
House of Deputies. 1t simply Will not
hear to anything looking that way.
Work Among Jews.
Some interesting facts came out in
connection with DR.. Winchester's re-
solution. declaring the church's posi-
ton toward the Jews. Dr. Winchester
said that since the abolition of the
Society for Propagation of Christian.
ity among the Jews the church had
given them UP. He expressed the SEN
timent of all the house when he said
this should not be. DR.! Huntington.
in reply. declared that there were
in New York more Jews than In any
other city in the world, and that con-
seauently great responsibility for
the Jews was laid upon the churchmen
of New York. which they were moi
shirking. Instead of giving up the
Jews by abolishing the society the
church was now in better position
to work among them. Now they are
brought directly into the parish
churches and not expected to attend
some little chapel built apart for
them. He said he could not blame
the Jew for not wanting to be thus
set apart. Since the church, with her
ritual appealed to the Jew, because OF
its great similarity to his own, she
has great opportunity which she
must not lose
All re1olce that this convention has
taken some definite steps toward that
end. In this action the two houses
concur.
Missionary Offerings.
The House Of Bishops passed a reso-
luton instructtng the Board of Mis-
sions to maIse''an superintendent of
tlooo,ooo among the dioceses and mis-
sionary districts and to include in this
all money contributed by the woman's
Auxiliary and the Sunday School Len
ten Offering. but that these should
be tabulated separately. This provok-
ed considerable discussion in the
House OF Deputies 1t waE urged by
those favoring it that all the money
really came from one source and
therefore it might Just as well be
Jumped. On the other hand it was
argued that the enthusiasm of the
women and children would be lessened
by the proposed action. The opinions
were pretty evenly divided, the vote
showing lac in favor OF Jumping the
funds and l7s' OF keeping them sep
srate.
1t will be remembered that few
days ago the House OF Deputies passed
resolution providing for the contin-
