Await Diocesan Convention
Clerical and Lay Delegates From Local Episcopa
Churches to Consider Election of Bishop Wed
nesday-Other UNCONVENTIONAL News.

The one subject uppermost now in local
Episcopal circles Is the result of next
Wednesdays convention, which meets In
Epiphany Church 1t is not generally sup
posed. however that the convention Will
commit itself to any new. candidates. 1t
is thought likely that it will ask Bishop
Brent to reconsider. This it can do with
out any question of courtesy being raised
in connection with the absent members.
Beyond this it is not expected to do any
thing One or two new candidates have
been mentioned as possessing the neces-
sary qualifications for the position one,
Rev. Ernest Stires of ST. Thomas Church,
New York; the other, Bishop kinsolving
of southern Brazil. The mention of the
Bishop of Brazil, however, furnishes an
apt illustration of the lack of necessary
information to possible successor or
Bishop Satterlee Bishop kinsolving was
only recently elected as missionary OlshOp
of the Episcopal Church, and a canon re-
ouires that such a bishop shall be hve
years in his diocese before he Is eligible
for another diocese. Thus the action OF
the last general convention was to make
Bishop Kinsolving ineligible, as bishop
of this diocese or any other of the Amer
lean church, until five years have elapsed
There seems to he no reason whatever,
it is declared, for the superstition that
the clergy who had not been six months In
the diocese when the convention which
elected Bishop Brent met in May will not
have Il seat in Wednesdays convention.
The canon, which is very specific on this
point and very rigid, provides that no
clergyman can sit and vote in a conven-

HALL CHAPEL.

One of the most pretentious mission
auditoriu.ns in the city is the recently
dedicated Hall Chapel. located at 1923 9Th
street northwest, and in distinction with
this home is the simpleness of the serv-
ices conducted therein of the message pre-
scented and Of the lack of pretentions of
the contributions with which it was built.
1t was in widows mite contribu-
tioh that this structure had it's begin
ming, for the building fund was started
with a gift of Is cents. Many others of
equal and even smaller size-and some
of larger proportions-were added to this
mite, and ii proved to be an acorn from
which a great oak grew. Now the prop
erty of the mission IS valued at 200.
Special services have been held in the
mission the past week. conducted by
Evangelist e. r. Campbell. and today
the series will be concluded with meet
