EPISCOPALIANS IN
THEIR ANNUAL MEET
Delegates from Churches in Diocese
Gather at Quincy and Discuss
Church Work.

Quincy, Nov. 1S.-(Argus Specially
The convention Of the clergy and lay
delegates Of the diocese of Quincy Of
the Protestant Episcopal church is be-
ing held at the cathedral Of st. John
on the corner of Seventh and Hamp-
shire streets. The sessions began yes
terday morning at 10 o'clock, and af
ter the devotional exercises the con-
vention turned it's attention to the
business of the diocese. There was a
business meeting in the afternoon, and
another was held this morning, con.
Guiding with the. meeting this after
noon.
The diocese of Quincy comprises
the territory enclosed between the
Illinois and Mississippi rivers and
bounded by the counties Of White
side and Lee on the north. At the
opening exercises % priests beside
the bishop were in attendance and 35
laymen. The clergymen are being
entertained at the homes of the mem
bers of the two Episcopal congrega-
lions. The synod sermon was
preached by Father George N. Gar
larneau, of Jubilee, III. The SER
mon was an earnest effort on the du-
ties and responsibilities of a worthy
priest.
In speaking OF the priest OF today
Father Galarneau spoke Of the
PRIESTS relation to his congregation.
that of a shepherd, conscious that
h l.
he must preach the whole truth which
his people may like or dislike. Some
times It is his painful duty to re-
buke and reprove his people and
sometimes even to excommunicate
and anathematize. His purpose
should not be to show the priests
authority, but to strive to win back
the children of the church to the
right attitude toward the mother
church and toward God. The ques-
ton asked a priest is not how skill
full he has been in handling his con-
gregation but how faithful he has
been to the call of God Almighty.
Father Galarneau's sermon was
to with the utmost attention
by all present and was pronounced
as the effort of priest who feels the
responsibility of his high calling in
the church.
Last evening a banquet was given
by the laymen Of Quincy to the visit
ing clergy and delegates. The ban
quet was at the Newcomb at 1880.
Bishop Fawcett was the POSTMASTER
and several addresses were made. The
special guest of the occasion was
Frederick Cook Morehouse. editor of
the Living Church, and one of the
principal churchmen in America.

Rock Island, SO the dealers say, IS
IN the grip Of milk famine of no
mean proportion. Hundreds of fami.
lies are either unable to get as much
as they are willing to pay for at pre-
vailing prices or find it impossible to
secure any at all Some of the out

were able to get a sufficient quantity

who has no dairy of his own but de-
ponds upon purchasing his milk from
the producers, has been shipping from
points in Iowa, but finds it hard to get
even in this manner. Other dealers

quires too long a period in getting

driven by necessity, are resorting more

Ideas differ as to the cause Of the
lack of a sufficient quantity of milk

preston is that it is due to the failure
of the supply to keep pace with the de-
mand, not to any lack of feed, or any
temporary conditions. Dairying is not
