Ansnt Proposal to Change Name Oi
Protestant Episcopal Church.

To the Editor: In reading DR.. C. Er-
nest Smiths courteous letter in your col
umns, concerning the proposal to change
the name OF the Protestant Episcopal
Church, am puzzled TO understand why.
II my opposition to such change dis
qualities me 70 Judge OF the trend Of
opinion. his advocacy does not equally
disqualify him. He also has expressed
himself very positively in print
cannot agree with DR.. Smith that
the proposal was lost at Cincinnati by
a technicality;" II was lost because there
favor. Moreover the clerical votes in It's
favor did not represent the larger part
Of the strength Of the church.
again call attention 70 the fact that
the advocates Of change have abandoned
the proposal brought forward IN Gin
cinnati What they now propose Is 70
caIl this church the American Catholic
Church.; and I am Of opinion that that
will not command a majority
of even the clergy.
DR.. Smith thinks that because use
the popular designation, The Episcopal
Church" instead OF giving the formal
title, The Protestant Episcopal Church" !"
therefore / have myself abandoned the
use Of the word Protestant" and this,
he thinks, the most encouraging evil
dence that the name will be changed"
I can only say that II this is the most
encouraging evidence for the hspe which
he entertains, that hope must be built
upon very hlmsy ground. Arguing in
the same way suppose We are to under
stand that because DR.. Smith calls our
communion in his letter The Church."
therefore he will vote against calling II
The American Catholic Church" !
should Ike to think that this was q cor
rect Inference
As TO the reason for proposing to blot
out the word Protestant from the
name OF the church. the most persistent
advocates Of this change are those who
want to get rid OF Protestantism, name
and thing, and at the same time as one
Of them has frankly said, ito dissoeiate
ourselves from the people who call them
selves Protestants."
I run no risk when predict that Il
will be found that the majority OF our
clergy and laity are not in sympathy
with either OF these aims
