Communications.

We gladly comply with the request Of
Rev. DR.. Randolph H. McEim to publish
the remaining portion of his letter touch
ing the significance of the vote in the
General Convention Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church on the proposed change
of name in 1910. DR.. McKim's letter was
quoted in part in q recent issue on this
page, and he feels that the readers of
The Herald will not correctly understand
his position without this added portion
Of his letter,-Editor.
Another interesting fact developed is
this: The forty-two dioceses whose cieri-
cal vote was cast in favor OF the change
represent a total missionary offering OF
S31s559, while the thirty-one dioceses
whose lay vote was cast in favor Of the
change represent a total missionary Of
fering OF $2SS,SOS. On the other hand. the
fifteen dioceses whose clerical vote was
cast against the change at Cincinnati
represent q total missionary offering OF
whose lay vote was cast against the
change represent a missionary offering of
S566, $40.
Il believe il is generally understood
that the proposal brought forward at
Cincinnati will not be renewed in New
York in 1915. Instead. the majority Of
those who are agitating for a change ask
US " Accept Ile name, me American
Catholic Church. Now, it is we'll known
by those who have investigated the mat
ter that many individuals and dioceses
voted In favor of the Cincinnati proposal
because it seemed so simple and because
It was put forward Ostensibly in the in
t'rest OF peace and harmony. 1t is not
therefore, to be anticipated that this new
proposal will command anything like so
large a vote as the other did, so that
there Is little probability of its being
accepted by the next General Conven-
tiOn. q
TT may he well. notwithstanding, to
suggest to those who are agitating for
this change, that they consider seriously
what would be the result Of its adoption
upon the missionary work of the church.
Is it likely that the strong missionary
parishes and diOceses which now 80 lib
orally support the board of missions will
he able TO command anything like an
equal support for the work of the church
if name should be adopted which Is SO
deeply repugnant to the principles and
convictions Of those parishes and do

Canon Williams preached at the NatIv-
