DIVISION OF DIOCESE.
Letter from Bishop Brewster to the Clergy and Laity of the
 Diocese

'sThe question of adequate provision for Episcopal services Is of course sitn before us. Some persons, I have req son to believe, are of the opinion that election of a Bishop Coadjutor. can- not feel justified in now asking for a Coad5utor on the ground 'tof age, or other permanent cause of infrmity. The other reason allowed in the Canon is extent of Diocesan work The election Of a Coadjutor, however, on this latter ground would, according to Canon, require the consent of the General Convention or of a majority of the Bishops and of the several Standing Committees. The election of a Bishop Coad1utor would also require such definite and irrevocable assign ment of duties as would seem to me at this time unadvieab1e. Nor do I deem it wise for the Diocese at this time to commit itself to the choice of it's next Bishop.
 From some of the clergy learn that there is an increase of sentiment in favor of division of the Diocese. Regarding division my own mind has been before this plainly expressed and Is, trust, sufficiently understood. The division of this Diocese, ultimate ly, is, am convinced, inevitable. If the matter might be agreed upon and definitely made ready for presentation
 
 to meet next October, well and good. Le me point out, however, the unlikeli- hood that so important a matter, i'm volving so radical a decision and so many details as to lines of division, etc., could be settled at a single con vention and made ready for presenta- tion to the coming General Convention It would probably have to wait for the following General Convention and then for a Diocesan convention, which would mean a delay of four years be- fore any adequate relief. Meanwhile the needs of the work would be con- fronting use.
 I've may recur to a method of relief recently provided by Legislation of General Convention, which offers so- lution of the problem. The Diocese may proceed to elect a suffragan This is the line we entered upon at the last convention. AS I said at that time, the position of a suffragan or Assisting Bishop should not lack any proper dignity. The true dignity of the Episcopate lies in it's mission to serve. In the Church

 Washington. April 30-In these days of shifting politics we hear much of the great personal sacrifices'' men are making in behalf of their party and the country by accepting federal positions. It is much rarer to hear of men declining positions at great personal sacrifice in the same behalf.
 This observation is excited by the case of Joseph R. Wilson, of Nash vile, Tenn. only brother of President Woodrow Wilson.
 Years ago, before Woodrow Wilson was ever thought of for President Joe Wilson worked as general reporter for the local paper in C1arksvi1le, Tenn, where his father was president of the Southwestern Presbyterian uni verstty. Joe in his humble occupa- ton of collecting items for the local and personal columns of the paper, had a great journalistic ambition. It was to be sent to Washington as political correspondent for some city newspaper, and to sway national affairs by his writings.
 He worked hard With the thrift characteristic of his family, he saved his money until he bought the Clarks- vile paper. His father died. And then, as step toward realizing his ultimate ambition, he sold his news paper plant and took a, position on the Nashville Banner.
 There was drudgery in his new work, but he toiled faithfully until he was made State political reporter. His spirits bounded This would be the apprenticeship that would earn him the position of Washington correspon- dent of the Banner Painstakingly, he compiled 8 card index of Tennessee politicians, and 'tcovered'' that States politics as they had never been ''cov- ered'' before.
 This work won him advancement, but advancement which seemed to him off the beaten train between the Ban ner office and the Press Gallery in Washington. He was city editor of the Banner Still he did not complain. since the new job brought an increase

ssManila Day,s as the anniversary of Dewey's victory has come to be called. will be celebrated tomorrow in Washington by the Society of the Battle of Manila Bay. Ever since Dewey's triumph fifteen years ago of
 1cers who took part in the historic engagement have assem bled at dinner in Washington and fought the battle over again. In Manila the day IS generally celebrated. Interest is ad- ded to this years celebration by the recent publication of Admiral Dewey's autobiography, in which the true story of the battle Is fully told for the first time. No, not ful1y-for the Admiral only hints at certain incidents con- nected with the blockade of Manila harbor, such as the high-handed pro- cedure of the commander of the Ger man ships. and the friendly spirit of the British commander. Reading between the lines, one hazards a guess that Dewey came near having two foes at Manila, and that, perhaps. only the presence of warships flying the flag of England prevented such 8 de- velopment.
 Since the United States occupation of Manila went into effect, Corregidor Island, which commands the entrance to Manila Bay, has been transformed into the Gibraltar of the Far East. Corregidor is a great rock, 500 feet in height, and to the spectator on pass ing vessel looks harmless enough-a mountain-island, with peaceful nr- tie village on its shores, and not & sign of battery anywhere. Yet the guns are there-great twelve-inch in struments of destruction, six and field artillery batteries, all sQuatting under cover. There are no photo graphs of Corregidor, and the visitor with camera is strictly tabooed.

REMARR|AGE OF
DIVORCES TOPIC
FOR CHURCHMEN
=
Discusses Resolutions Asking
U. S. to Regulate Mar
IS riage by Laws.

: NEW YORK. Oct. 10.-Marriage
and divorce again came to the fore
today at the general convention of
the Protestant Episcopal Church
At a session of the House of Deputies
prior to a joint meeting of that body
and the House of Bishops, the diocese
of Los Angeles submitted resolu-
tion suggesting that marriage after
divorce be forbidden.
The diocese of Michigan, dipping
into the field of eugenies. came for
ward with a resolution which would
y.forbid Episcopal elergymen from
uniting in marriage any couple which
had not first obtained physicians
certificate to the effect that they
were normal mentally and not al
4, fiicted with a disease rendering mar
riage inadvisable."
The convention now has before 1t
an unusual program of proposals for
the adoption of which vigorous de-
mand is voiced from many sources,
particularly the low church element,
which won the first contest OF the
convention in the election of DR..
Alexander Mann, of Boston, as the
presiding officer of the house of depu-
ties over DR.. William T. Manning, OF
New York, who was regarded as one
of the strongest leaders of the high
church movement.
AS a result of yesterdays session
of the house of bishops the general
convention will have before II me-
MORALS attacking divorce and calling
upon not only ecclesiastical authorl-
ties. but the government of the United
States, to seek an amendment to the
constitution so that Federal legisla-
ton concerning marriage could be er-
fected.
one of the most radical of the
measures brought forward is that OF
Rev. DR.. James W. Ashton, of Olean,
n. Y. who asked that the general
convention should consider the situa-
. ton created in the United States by
promulgation of the me temere"
decree of the Roman Catholic Church
which prohibits its priests from mar
rying Catholics and Protestants eX-
! cept under certain restrictions.
The memorial adopted by the depu-
ties urges the general convention to
affirm that marriages should not be
dealt with other than as the Holy
Scriptures and the laws of the land
allow
An interesting social feature of the
convention was the reception ar
ranged at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art last night during which 1000
bishops, deputies and theirs friends
shook hands with Right Rev. Daniel
Sylvester futile, of st. Louis, the
senior bishop OF the church. Despite
his seventy eight years, Bishop futile
had a vigorous handshake for all.
There was great rejoicing over the
showing which the women's auxiliary
had made in it's offering to the for
eign mission board. Money to the
amount of 1907. 800 was heaped on to
the gold contribution plate at the
great afternoon mass-meeting of the
women, breaking all records of the
auxiliary organization.
