The building was crowded to it's capac-

of the visiting church dignitaries occupied
the local Episcopal pulpits at both morn

Many matters of importance to the
church are TO come up for consideration at
| this weeks sessions of the convention. 1t
has been announced that, beginning today,
the house of deputies will hold night ses-
sions in order to get through with the
mass of business yet to come before the
body.
Those who have been cognizant OF Mr. j.
Pierpont Morgan's habits since he has
been in Richmond as lay delegate de-
clare that the noted fnancier is a la to
riser. He Is never seen on the streets ex-
cept when going to and from the conven-
ton, and then always in his closed auto
mobile He is always among the last to
take his seat in the house OF d eputies, and
is close reader of the New York papers.

wealthy New Yorker has had but little to
say as a delegate. arising for the first
| time last Friday morning. and then mere
ly to suggest the sending of prayer book
to the Lord Bishop of London.
Morgan's Residence Guarded.
The residence occupied by Mr.. Morgan
Is guarded night and day by a policeman.
and no one Is allowed to pass the two
footmen guarding the front entrance. A
warm friendship has sprung up between
Mr.. Morgan and Gov. Swanson the chief
executive of the state being one of the
few to be entertained by the distinguished
visitor, who has returned every visit Gov.
Swanson has paid him. He has been seen
at the Office of the governor several times.
The matter Of courts of appeal for the
church. which was partially argued Sat-
urday. will be resumed In the convention.
probably today. This Is one of the most
important matters to be settled by the
convention. 1t has already occasioned
some disagreement between members. and
will undoubtedly be the subject of spirited
debates before the matter is concluded.
Thework Of the convention Will be pushed
rapidly during the cary days Of the week.
SO that there may not be such rush OF
business to be considered during the last
day or two.
