i Episcopal laymen over the State are
planning for large convention in Co.
lumbia on February 1918 and "A. The
program is a varied one including some
of the strongest men in the American
Episcopal church.
Cav. Richard l. Manning, who occu-
pies one of the foremost places in the
councils of the Episcopal church in
South Carolina will be present and pre-
side at some of the conferences.
Rt. Rev. Arthur Selden Lloyd, the
man in the American Episcopal princi-
pal speaker, is the only clergy-church
in the American Episcopal church and
probably the whole Andelican Com
munion who has ever been elected bish
op Eve times. Oa the first four occa-
sions, he declined but when his home
diocese, Virginia. called him to the
Episcopate, he finally accepted. He
had been at work iu Virginia scarcely
year when the general convention of
the church elected him in 1910 to the
nowly created Office of President OF the
general board of missions, which posi-
tion he now holds. The effectiveness
OF his leadership is shown by the great
expansion in the mission work in the
Episcopal church. New fields of york
have been entered, the mission staff
has been greatly enlarged and the
mission income has been greatly en-
larged and the mission income has been
nearly trebled. Bishop Lloyd will de-
liver the principal address of the con-
vention in the Columbia theatre. Sun
day afternoon ihe 14th at four o'clock.
His subject will be "The Call of the
World" The executive committee in
charge of the convention expect at
least two thousand persons to be pres.
ent at this address.
1t. Rev. VIM. A. Guerry, Bishop OF
the diocese, will make the principal
address at the summer to be served 90
Friday evening, the 18th. Since COM
ing to this diocese, Bishop Guerry has
been very active in his efforts to bring
the church to the people and this con-
vention is the outcome of his eiabors
along this line.
John ". Wood, secretary of the Gen
eral Board of Missions, has several i'm
portant places on the program and
should be heard by every laymen in
the diocese. Mr.. Wood is the senior
secretary of the Board of Missions,
and is the only laymen who has ever
served as the secretary of the boad. He
/ was elected to this position in 1910 and
since that time has traved over the en-
| tire United States. This has given
him the opportunity OF studying mis-
sion work at first hand and his famili-
arlty with the work makes him one of
the leading authorities on this subject
! in America.
Hon. Walter Hazard of Georgetown.
J. Nelson Frierson of Columbia, Rev.
Robt. Patton and B. F. Flnney, South
ern field secretary of the Brotherhood
