that the secret sessions of the House
Of Bishops were a contradiction of
the Church's claim to democracy.
At the last general convention this
matter was raised and the open
meeting plan failed by few votes.
Finally, there is the large ques-
tion Of reorganizing the general ac-
tivities of the Church under a sim
gle board. This would consolidate
the Missions Board, the General
Board for Religious Education, the
Commission on Social Service and
other bodies of like nature.
From, Everywhere
The convention will bring to De-
troit Representatives Of the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church from all over
the world. The activities of the Prot
estant Episcopal communion extend
to the furthest reaches of the globe,
and men are already in this country,
or on their way, to tell Of their work.
Every bishop Of the Church, un-
less detained by illness. is expected
to be present.
The presiding officer Of tho House
of Bishops will be the venerable the
Right Rev. Daniel Sylvester Tuttle.

tue Of his seniority in conservation.
He is the last bishop to hold that Of
fee by seniority, for the convention
already has determined that the Of
flee shall be electoral upon the death
of Bishop Tuttle. There is a report
that, on account of his infirmities, he
will ask to be retired as presiding
bishop and thus make possible the
election by this convention Of the
man that is to direct the activities
of the whole Church.
The prelininaries of the General
Convention have been held already.
The Brotherhood of St. Andrew, the
largest layman's organization Of the
Church, has been holding sessions for
several days. BY Tuesday all their
sessions will have been brought to
an end, even the committee meetings,
and the way will be cleared for the
general legislative body Of the
Church.
The convention proper will meet
in two houses, one composed entirely
of bishops. In this house the dioc-
esan and missionary bishops will
have vote, but the suffragans will
have only seat. The other house is
known as the House Of Deputies and
is composed of lay and clerical dele
gates elected by the dioceses.
The sessions of the House of Dep
uties will be open to the public.
In addition to these two houses
there will be meetings Of the various
boards and committees of the Episco-
pal Church. Five gatherings will be
held in as many different places,
some of them at the same time.
The House of Bishops will meet
in St. PauPs Cathedral House. This
building is equipped with committee

Tuesday

will be discussed. Bishop Brent will
preside, and the speakers will be
General Pershing, Admiral Sims,
the Rev. Orval A. Petty, who was
senior chaplain of the base hospital
at Bordeaux, and, if the authorities
of his own church will permit,
Father Francis Duffy, of the famous
69th New York.
On the first Sunday evening fol-
lowing the opening of the conven-
tion the nationwide campaign of
the Church will be given the oppor-
tunity usually accorded to the mis-
sionary endeavors of the Church
A clear statement of the purposes
Of the nationwide campaign will
be given at this meeting and an eff
fort will be made to rouse the whole
Church to what has been called its
most farreaching activity.
On Sunday, October IL, St..
Paul's Cathedral, Detroit, will be
consecrated. The occasion will be
marked by one of the most impos-
ing-if not the most imposing
service ever held under the aus
pices Of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in America. For elaborate
ceremonial nothing will compare
with it, outside, perhaps, the coro-
nation of king.
The special preacher on that oc-
casion will be the Right Rev. Ethel
bert Talbot, Bishop of Bethlehem,
Penn, who was immortalized in
Owen Wister's "The Virginian."
Bishop Talbot will preside at a
great meeting on "The Coordination
Of the Religious Forces Of the
United States," and Bishop Ander-
son and the Rev. DR.. William T.
Manning, of Trinity Parish, New
York, will speak.
In addition to General Pershing
and Admiral Sims, many nationally
known men will address the open
gatherings Of the convention.
Perhaps the greatest interest will
centre in the monday forums, which
will bring expressions from some of
the radical leaders in the church
The Rev. John Howard Melish, who
throughout the trial Of DR.. Alger
non Sidney Crapsey, sat at his side
will be heard. He is one of the most

in the Protestant Episcopal Church

The Rev. Bernard Iddings Bell
the new president Of St. Stephen s
College, Annandale, N. Y, will be
heard. Mr.. Bell was a naval chap
lain during the war and he insists
that the greatest problem of the
Church is to reach the men that did
not have battle experience and were
not even in the military service. A
recent article from his pen in "The
Atlantic" has created a profound
impression in the Church. He is ex.

Conservative members of the prohi-

radical attempts to make the pending

question of liquor drinking.
