COnUention Which Named Bishop

The convention yesterday was by IA
the most interesting and unusual in the
history of the diocese. Three times
previously, clergy and laity had been
called together TO elect a successor to
the late Bishop Satterlee.
Every seat in Trinity Church, Third
and G streets northwest, was filled when
Or. McKim, as president OF the convsn-
ton. raped for order.
The morning session was taken up
chiefly with details of the convention
O-her than the immediate selection Of a
bishop, and it was not until afternoon
-tHat the delegates reached the nomina-
uons. 1t was suggested that nominating
speeches be dispensed with. but this
was objected TO, and in series of bril-
eulogies the list OF candidates for the
bishopric was made known.
One of the surprises Of this part Of
the program, 20 all but those directly in
touch with affairs. was the elimination
of Or. Grosvenor. Of New York, prov

candidate for the bishopric.

ebrated boys choirs in the diocese and
one OF the special features are those
services which bring the children Of
the parish together.
While DIT. Harding is regarded as be-
ing a high" churchman, he IS a man
OF liberal mind, and has always had the
reputation Of never interfering with
other mems principles. For this reason
even these who differ with DIR. Hard
ing on such matters are apparently
convinced that even IN this regard his
selection IS a happy one. for he will be

DR.. Harding, aside from his clerical
work, is deeply interested in civic Ques-
tions, and has always been active in
giving aid where the city may be bene-

The thousands OF visitors who were
accustomed to attend the various serv-

Cathedral Close, will remember that il
was always DIT. Harding who man
aged these big open-air services, and
will recall the smoothness and devo-
