~ THE REV. JOHN II. BROWN

by THE REV. JOHN III. BROWN,
Secretary of the Diocese of Florida.
BY general consent the triennial Epis
copal Convention, which has Just adj
journed in this city. is conceded to be
the most remarkable in the history OF
the church. 1t was an epoch marking
gathering that will be long remem-
bered. If asked to give its characters
iistic features, one would say they were
historic, missionary and liberal in non
essentials. while strictly conservative

Gus and free from prejudice. Perhaps
never before did a body of men Of
equal number sit for nearly three
weeks to discuss questions SO likely
to produce friction. and yet remain
as free from it as did this General
Convention of 1907--men who, giving
up their business and devoting their
time freely to the church, sat continu-
ously and attended strictly to the
work in hand for nearly three weeks.
Certainly never before in SO short a
time has the General Convention ac-
complished SO much; has the interest of
outsiders been so fully sustained; has
there been as much interest taken in
the church's missions; has the Woman's
Auxiliary given so large united of
combined to make a thank offering.

great things. 1t has been more in
teresting than any one expected and

Spirit of the Opening.
The second day of October was one
Of those bracing, bright, surshiny au-
tumn days that make one glad to be
alive. Everybody looked happy as the
convention assembled at Holy. Trinity
Church for the opening service. The
number of bishops present was the
largest ever seen in Richmond. When
the General Convention last met in
this city, in 1859, there We're in the
whole church II America only forty
one bishops; now there are l04 and
four more have been Just elected. The
deputies to that convention numbered
only 264, while this year there We're
500 All who were able to get within
the doors of Holy Trinity We're made
to realize the great solemHity of the
occasion.
The first historic note Of the con-
vention was sounded when the
Bishop of London stood In the pulpit
to preach the opening sermon. Telling

between this church and the Church

Bishops and deputies all kneeled be-
fore the altar to receive the food
which was to give them spiritual
strength for their great labors. and
all departed with the one intention OF
doing what they felt was for the best
interest of the church.
In this spirit the two houses were
organized for business. In the House
Of Bishops there We're fifteen new
bishops. Four had already been pre-
scented, leaving the unusual number

faces We're seen, and some delay was
caused In getting under way. 1t was
several days before the real work was
begun. There was. however. another
reason for this delay. Everybody was
full of the historic significance of the
time and place. Many speakers We're
introduced, and all referred in some
way to the occasion of this gathering
here in Richmond, so near to the spot

established in America.
Matters before Convention.
At last, however, the work was be-
gun In real earnest. All the English
visitors had gone, and the convention
applied itself strictly to the bust
ness before it. Many memorials, petit
lions and resolutions were presented
in the first few days Of the session
but the real work began when the
new rules of order We're adopted. For
twenty-seven years the >convention
had been revising and patching up its
rules, until at last a complete revision
was ordered. and the result is well
arranged set#of rules.
The work before the convention was
pretty we'll mapped out at the very
beginning of the, sessions. Ii was

does in June, July, August and Sep

new life to all vegetation.

many of our trees lose their leaves;
that the wild flowers are, most of
them, missing But when our rainy
season commences, all nature seems
to put on new life.
