Tie second days session Of the
eleventh annual diocesan convention of

day being devoted almost exclusively
to balloting for various officials of the
diocese and of delegates to the national
Episcopal convention to be held in
Richmond in October. After several
ballots yesterday afternoon only one
delegate was elected for the national
convention, Rev. Baker p. Lee, and
this morning the session will be re-
| sumed when the remaining three will
| be elected
! Yesterday afternoon George C. Par
sons made an address advocating the
establishing of a work at San Pedro
among the sailors.
| Rev. Mr.. Hickman, rector of the
church at San Pedro, spoke on the ad-
visibility of such move and urged
that Scandinavian clergyman be ap-
| pointed to the work. as 85 per cent Of
| the sailors that come into the port are
of that nationality.
| The project Of presenting a motion
at the general convention to raise a
| fund of $5,000,000 for pensions for the
| retired clergy was discussed and pro-
posed, this idea emanating from the
diocese of Los Angeles. A field secre-
| tary for the board of missions and
Sunday school institute was appointed.
