Next year the council of the Epis-
copal diocese Of Minnesota will hold

was decided at the annual session
that has just come to a close in st.

the first visit of the council to Man.
kato Many Episcopal bishops and
other clergymen will be here at the

St. Paul, May pa plea for a
clusiveness in the university house
of the Episcopal diocese of Minneso-
ia was made by Rev. DR.. Edward f.
Carson at the morning session yes
terday of the fifty-ninth annual
council meeting of the Minnesota d.
Geese.
An important move at the next
meeting of the board of managers
will be the organization of this
society, known as the Bishop Gilbert
society, which is made up of Epis-
copal university students.
The society was organized in 1907
and occupies house at Fourth
street and Seventh avenue south
east, Minneapolis. It's reason for ex-
istence is to bring Episcopal stu
dents closer to the church.
The necessity of extending mis-
sionary work is paramount, declared
Bishop Samuel G.. Edsall, who pre-
sided. He said the board of equali-
cation would place the general mis-
sion fund for each parish the same
as last year, plus one-twelfth Of that
amount.
The only election made at the
morning session was that of the
standing neommitte, which resulted
as follows: Rev. A. G. Pinkham,

er and Revs Arthur H, Wurtell.
