Since the diocesan convention of the

ware met at Dover and failed to elect
a bishop. a new name has 0een sug-
gested to the clergy and laity OF the
State.
Professor Frederic Kinsman, d. D.,
of the General Theological Seminary,
New York, said to be one OF the strong
est men on the doctrines Of the church
in America, and a brilliant lecturer, Is
now being considered. He is an III
married man Of middle age. The OBJ
lection raised against some OF the can
didates considered-that they had been
equipped with no uphill parish expert
ence-will not serve as an objection 10
Dr. Kinsman, as he has successfully
managed, as the rector, several par
ishes in different States. and only left
beacuse Of the larger ani wider field OF
activity to which he was called as an
Instructor and lecturer on theology IN
