WILL RETAIN
PRESENT TITLE
Episcopal Church win MOI
Change It's Name

day on the subject, of changing the
name OF the Protestant Episcopal
church. the House Of Deputies decid-
cd by = majority OF one vote that the
present title is the proper one for the
church and that it would be wrong to
change the name of the title page of
the hymnal to 'The Holy Catholic
Church" or "The Catholic Church of
the United States"
The matter is now closed so far as
this convention goes. unless some of
the delegates bring 1t up again in
the house Of bishops. The question
has not dealt with the name of the
church as 1t relates to the general
public. but rather to the title page
OF the hylnnal.
The next general convention meets
in New York city in 1918. and the
question will come up again at that
gathering, according to convention
officers.
Prominent among the speakers on
the matter were the Rev. Carl +.
Grammer, of Philadelphia; Archdea-
con B. Talbot, OF Fon du Lac: the Rev
William T. Capers, OF Lexington. KY:
DIR. Williams A. Manning. of New York
Icity. and Judge Thomas A. Packard
of Baltimore.

/ As there were SO dioceses represent
ed in the convention by lay delegations
liz required the affirmative vote of 80
Iof them TO make the change. The
clergy gave the required majority, but
the lay deputies were one vote short
of enough, SO the resolution was lost
by inconvenience of orders.
A similar fate by exactly the same
margin of one vote defeated the pro-
posal at the general convention three
years ago.
The house Of bishops completed the
work for the appointment of suffragan
bishops. which has been one OF the big
points up for decision by the church
convention The measure was passed
earlier in the week by the house OF
deputies. and the house OF bishops
made this unanimous by passing a
canon that the suffragan hibsops be
appointed TO aid the bishops In the
work OF their diocseses. This canon
has been opposed by the negro men,
bers Of the church but has had the
. loyal support of a majority Of the
bishops and depities.
