BRENT STAYS IN PHILIPPINES
Another Convention in Two Weeks
to Name a Bishop.
Episcopal PreInte Sends Cable Say
ing God Bids Him Remain.
Taft Not Surprised.

Bishop Charles H. Brent. Of the Philip
pines. yesterday cabled his decIination Of
the bishopric OF Washington.
Rev. DR.. Randolph McKim. president OF
the standing committee Of the diocese.
received the cable from Bishop Brent
and DR. McKim Immediately sent out in
formation that another convention would
be held in the Church Of the Epiphany in
two weeks, for the purpose Of naming a
bishop to succeed the late Bishop Satter-
lee.
Bishop Brent's message gave no indi-
cation OF his reasons for declining the
Washington blshopric, but the impress
sion is that he did not feel he could leave
his work in the islands.
The cable reads:
Must decline. l would have gone but
God bids me stay. John v:3O'
The Biblical reference given reads as
follows: 4 can OF mine own self do
nothing. As I hear. / Judge, and my
Judgment is Just, because seek not mine
own Will, but the will OF the Father
which hath sent me-"
i am not surprised said Secretary
Taft, when he heard Of Bishop Brent's
declination. Bishop Brent is a martyr
He has no regard for his health in the
interest he takes In his work, and ! have
said to him often that he ought to be a
martyr. and live. instead OF being mar
tyr and die He IS one Of the best men
in the world. When / went out 70 the
Philippines the second time. by way Of
Rome, he went with me, and has been
working there since. felt sure he
would decide that his duty required him
20 remain in the islands"
