3OOTH ANNIVERSARY
FOUNDING OF EPISCOPAL
CHURCH I'M AMERICA.
Rt. Rev. DR.. H. Montgomery Will Attend
oommemoration Exercises, to Be
Held in October.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-The Rev. DR..
Henry Montgomery. secretary of the
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel,
has accepted the invitation sent him by
the presiding bishop of the American
Church to attend the Episcopal Church
convention. which will be held in Rich
mond. Va, In October. As was AN
nounced som time ago, the Rev. DR..
A. f. ". Ingram, the bishop of London,
will come to America for the Richmond
convention, as will also the Rt. Rev. DR..
Edgar Jacob, the bishop of st. Adams.
The general convention in the autumn
will commemorate the 3oOth anniversary
of the founding of the Episcopal Church
in America. Most of the early religious
work In the colonies was done under the
jurisdiction of the Diocese of LONDON and
in ST. Adams, so tina 1t is appropriate that
the present occupants Of those sees should
attend this convention.
1t is also equally appropriate that the
secretary of the oldest missionary sociey
In England should be at this meeting OF
the general convention. not only because
the convention will be predominateiy a
missionary convention, but also because
of the great help which the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel gave 10
the early church in America.
Bishop Montgomery has been secretary
of this society for six years, having been
called to his present office from the see of
Tasmania. According to a writer in The
Monthly. his glowing zeal and
nervousness in whatever he undertakes
is the keynote of his personality. 1t is
said that In his school years he was the
most successful pupil in outdoor games
has ever known, while as bishop
of Tasmania he spent $50 days of the year
on horseback and on foot to the
miners camps or visiting the scattered
settlements on the island.
