the matter to committee.
Bishop Guerry replied that he saw
no reason that the decision cf the
committee should be regarded al
reflection Of his mind in the matter.
Il am not opposed to the division
OF the diocease." said Bishop. Guerry.
still I don't want to appear as an
advocate of the matter believe the
committee should be appointed. II
think the health of the bishop or the
amount of his work should not be re-
garded as a primary reason for the.
division"
Rev. c. w. Boyd said that IT was
impossible for committee to take a
matter of SO great Importance and re-
port back to cornell intelligentlv
upon it the next morning.
To this some one replied that the
committee was only to look into the
feasibility of the matter and that af-
ter all it would be left with the coun-
Gil.
The chair asked for some little
time to select a committee.
Rev. ]. H. Tillinghast read the re-
port of the committee on the admis-
sion of new parishes. and it was
adopted.
Rev. A. r. MITCHELL, chairman OF
the committee on Episcopal residence,
read his report In the report it was
called to the attention of council the
shame that it was that the disS

up for discussion the fact that tIs

excuse.
Rev. L. I. Walsh took the floor and
said that If he was in order he would
like to extend an invitation to CONN., a
Gil to meet next year at Yorkville.
The chair told him that he was out OF y
order. ~
delegate from Sumter arose and y
extended an invitation fo, council "a

fully the advantages Sumter has to

years since council had met in the

Rev. Mr.. Walsh renewed his invi-
tation to council to come to Yorkvilie.
and at some length explained the ad-
rantages that city had to offer.
Other places were named and In
vitations extended, and the discussion
grew warm. The chair said IL was
not proper coutesy to lay an invita-
ton on the table and several mem-
bers of council agreed with him.
Finally it was voted upon and Sum-
ter was chosen.

pointed. The defendant, who wag rep
resented by r. q Fleetwood and T.. nj.

ed that they could not expect to get
absolute justice from jury After
some further arguments, the plaintiff
fled exceptions with the intention az
