TIE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.

The t%riennial general convention of
the Protestant Episcopal church of the
United States, now being held in Rich
mond, is an imposing body. It consists
of all the bishops of the church in this
countrywide in number, and about 600
deputies or elected delegatss-clerical
and lay.
The general convention is the legisla-
tive body ;of the Episcopal church as
it meets only once in three years, much
business of interest to ~Episcopalians
and the Anglican communion in gener-
al will be considered and several i'm
portant matters affecting the church
will be settled.
Richmond was chosen as the place Of
meeting On account of the Jamestown
celebration, the Protestant Episcopal
church having grown out of the Church
of England colony planted in Virginia
300 years ago.; and owing to the historic
character of this convention and the
presence of the Lord Bishop, of London,
and other distinguished visiting pre-
lates, it will be exceptionally notable.
While the Episcopal church in the
United States is not SO strong in num-
bers as it's mother, the Church of Eng
land, it has, by reason of the high
character, intelligence and Christian
devotion of its members, lay as we'll as
clerical. always had a tai reaching eff
feet for good and to-day it's power is
more in evidence than ever before.
The proceedings at Richmond will DO
marked by the splendid decorum for
which the church has long been cele-
brated, but it will be decorum without
, stiffness, for the discussions at all the
general conventions are at once earn
} est, animated and practical.
Not in many years has the general
convention met in a southern city. Only
the large cities of the East and West
have been considered in the competitive
class. But in view of the jamestown
celebration, Richmond's invitation was
readily accepted. And it is safe to say
that the capital of the old Dominion
will not only prove adequate in its re-
spect to it's church facilities, but viii
rpa itself in the matter of its pro
verbal hospitality and social charm.
