religion to save and faith to work."
Chaplain Lauchlan MacLean Watt,
Of the Gordon Highlanders and the
famous Black Watch, says:
ave have come through an earth
quake heave and have awakened to
the fact that there is, behind &C.
clesiastical disputings, the still, small
voice all the while. War, the short
stride between life and death, the
close breathing of the eternal, put
ecclesiastical controversies and dec
larations aside. You only see a
brother dedicated to death for YOU:
you give the symbols Of the broken
body and the shed blood of Him
who died to bring the immortal that
is chained to humanity in tune with
the infinite; and, tell you, you can
almost hear God speak in the ten
sity of such a moments culver Of
reality"
Chaplain Herbert Shipman, who
in civil life is rector of the Church
of the Heavenly Rest, on Fifth Ave
nue., and who during the war rose
from a regimental chaplaincy to the
senior chaplaincy of the entire list
Army, was discussing the attitude
of the soldiers toward formal re-
ligion. He was in company with
two other chaplains that had seen
service with troops of the United
States army, one of them being

known, however, for rarely q wear
passes without the issuance of a
book under his name. He is not
allied with either the High or Low
Church party, and many look upon
him as the successful compromise
candidate in case of deadlock be-
tween DR.. Stires and DR.. Manning.
Another rector whose name was
mentioned is the Rev. Herbert
Shlpman, who was chaplain of the
old LIST Field Artillery, later the
1O4th. He went to France with his
regiment and was Immediately de-
tached by orders Of Bishop Brent,
then acting as senior chaplain of the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-09-14

further his own candidacy, but his
friends have been very active in his
behalf. 1t is expected that he will
poll large vote from the start. DR..
Manning is recognized leader of
the High Church party in this coun-
try. In addition, he has a known
record as an administrator of large
affairs. During his incumbency at
Trinity he has established some
notable reforms, chief among them
being the abolition of pew rents. He
has been much in demand as a
speaker at civic gatherings. Before
the war little was known of his per-

A. e. +. Chaplain Shipman served
with great distinction as chaplain
of the Paris district, and then be.
came senior chaplain of the lst
Army Corps, later being made
senior chaplain of the entire Isl
Army. He is an eloquent preacher
and his war record may make him
the choice of the convention if the
choice does not fall upon one of the
three candidates leading at this
time.
Another man mentioned for the
post is the Rev. Milo II. Gates, rec
tor of the Chapel of the Interces.
sion. DR.. Gates was chosen as
bishop of the missionary district of
Cuba at the general convention Of
1913, but he declined TIE post. The
tact that man has once been
chosen for a bishopric always TO-
cusses attention upon him when
there is an election in the diocese to
which he is attached.
The convention will vote in Two
sections. The clerical delegates,
and every clergyman in priests o.
ders economically attached to this
diocese will have vote. The lay
delegates will vote en- bloc The
majority rule will prevail. Thus
if a parish has three delegates and
two of the three favor a certain
candidate, the third mans vote viii
be lost and single ballot will b
cast for the choice of the majority
Where there are only two delegates
and with differing opinions the vos
OF the parish will be lost.
1t may happen that the Law dele

do not ballot for at all-or vin|
versa. Until the two houses can ri

tees of life which derive logically
and irresistibly from the thought
and consciousness of God as a Su-
preme Being of moral perfection.
accordingly, to be guilty of
cowardice, and thus lack vision Of
faith, to be selfish and thus crowd
God out of ones being, to be hypo-
critical and by implication assume
Gods ignorance or Indifference; to
be disloyal and deny His constancy
and reliability, and, finally, to be
mean and imply His pettiness, would
in Judaism be tantamount to the
commission of cardinal wrongs. In
brief, my religion would class any
wrong as cardinal that contravened
its conception Of the perfect wisdom
and power and morality Of God.
when DR.. Clark contends that
old creeds must be adjusted to new
spiritual ideas and impulses he is
right, but this involves no dread or
difficulty for Judaism, which, as ex-
emplified in its supreme teacher
and prophets, stresses spirituality
expressed in morality as the unquali
fed minimum of religious life. The
trouble heretofore has been that the
world has had too much organization
in religion and too little religion in
organization"

right, good-give-a-damn way these
men practised their religion"
Chaplain Duffy does not empha-
size the fact, but it is worthy Of
emphasis, that the soldiers did not
talk about their religion-they prac-
tised it.
The Rev. Edwin S. Boyer, who
served as chaplain Of the old 311th
Infantry, tells Of an attempt to hold
church services in the face of inter-
ruptions by the noise Of the driving
of tent pegs and the loud swearing Of
the sergeant in charge of the detail.
He demonstrated and-well, let him
tell the story.
1.-THE sergeant's reply was not ex-
actly blasphemous, but it was point
edly to the effect that our Job in
France was to lick Jerry and not to
waste time on old women's stuff
meaning church services. However,
he did call his men off.
"When the services were over I
went to him with the idea of smooth
ing out any resentment he might

urgent the call might seem. For a
time the candidacy of DR.. Stires was
dlsregarded, out of respect for his
expressed wish. But he has been
absent from the city for a long
period now, and in his absence
craftsmanship lines have been rath-
er sharply drawn, with the result
that the movement to seat him in
succession to Bishop Greer is strong
er than before.

feel. he listened while I explained
the benefits of Church aid at the
front. He admitted that he knew Of
the existence of the Bible and had
heard Of a God, but he added that he
had no time to bother with such
things.
"That, remember, was back in the
training area, and many of the men
felt as he did.
~ began to notice a change as we
moved up to the front, and by the
time we had done our bit in the St.
Mihiel drive it was quite marked. I
observed a remarkable optimism
throughout the ranks. The spiritual
side of the boys showed more def
nitely as they were face to face with
the basic fact of death. Still, the
sergeant went about his duties with
out any noticeable change until we
had reached the Argonne.
when we took our places in the
line the fighting had been going on
for some days and Jerry was giving
us all he had. Naturally the losses
were severe, and one of the real
problems was to bury the dead.
Eight or ten bodies were lying out
in front of us, and it became abso-
lutely necessary to recover and dis
pose of them. So at night we start
ed out. The sergeant came to me
and volunteered to help in what is

there was q canonical prohibition
against the division Of a diocese dur
Ing an interregnum in the Bishopric.
In addition, there was some con-
troversy over diocesan funds.
The rural churches held that they
should be permitted to share squally
in the general funds of the diocese,
but the rectors and vestrymen of
the churches within the city held
that, as the wealth Of the diocese
had come largely from the city
parishes, 1t should be distributed in
proportion as it had originated.

~ new Bishop of the Protes-

New York will have been
elected in succession to the late
! Right Rev. David H. Greer.
A special session of the diocesan
convention has been called for next
Tuesday. 1t will meet in SYNOD
Hall on the grounds of the Cathe
dral Of st. John the Divine and will
remain in session until an election
has taken place.
There are three leading candi-
dates Tor the Bishopric. All are
rectGrs Of large city parishes and
the best informed men In the church
Took for the choice Of one Of these
three clergymen. They are the Rev.
Ernest NJ. Stires, rector Of St.
fhomas's Church; the Rev. William
a. Manning. rector of Trinity
Pa1ish, and che Rev. DR.. Charles L.
Hlsttery, rector Of Grace Church.
Bishop Charles Sumner Burch,
lu6ragan. has been mentioned and,
Il the votes Of the rural parishes
coutrolled the election, would be
chosen on tho first ballot.
He is moro than sixty years old
and It IL tho sense Of the majority
of tho delegates, 50 far as an in
formal canvass disclosed, that q
younger man, with . promise Of
greater length Of service, should be
chosen.
Bishop Burch was mentioned
come tme ago for the Bishopric Of
the proposed new diocese to be
made up Of the parishes outside Of
tho city. The movement for the d.

after we had collected the bodies
by the light of star shells and hun
dreds Of signal lights and bursting
shells began the task of identifica-
ton by means Of tags and small per-
sonal belongings found on them. The
sergeant and his men kept pace with
me, constructing crosses and inscrib-
ing each one of them with the name
and number Of the soldier killed.
ut was about 2 o'clock in the
morning when, on the slope of the
hill, we dug the graves and buried
our dead. The firing was dying
down and I read the service in COM
parative quiet. On the way back to
our lines the sergeant fell into step
with me and grasped my hand with
hard grip
Convinced
"'Sir,' he said, 4 guess there must
be God. Those crosses mean
something to me now. When my
time comes, will you see that have
one and word said for me?'
III kept my, promise two days
later. He fell in the next charge"
If there were any one distinguish
ing quality in religious effort that
won men to the Church it was that
quality the reverse of which they
gave first in their lists of the cardi-
nal sins. Thomas Tiplady, who had
a distinguished career with the
British forces, said recently:
"a chaplain at the front will lose
all influence unless he has the cour-
age to face danger and death. He.
above all men, the soldiers think,
ought not to be afraid, for he be-
lieves in and breaches the provi-
Dental care of God and immortality
of the soul. If Heaven be a fact,
and not a fiction, why should he
fear to die? During a service in a
field a shell fell few yards from
the chaplain. AS they heard the
sound of it's approach, every one,
including the chaplain, instinctively
rushed for cover. 1t was most
sensible thing to do, but the chap
lain lost prestige because he ran
with the soldiers. They thought his
superior faith in God ought to have
held him to the altar. Men expect

IN direct contact with him as parish

the entire war period as a volunteer
chaplain at Camp Upton and
achieved great popularity among the
troops.

serves neither praise nor blame. To
the alarming condition Of the latter
she should speedily turn her concen-
trated attention"

dividing the diocese at this time and
the discussion as to the apportion-
ment of the fund, the agitation in
favor Of Bishop Burch lessened. It
is not thought likely that he will be
candidate after the first one or
two ballots, though large compli-
mentary vote is looked for at the
outset Of the balloting.
DIR. Stires
The Rev. DR.. Stires announced
some weeks ago that he did not wish
to be urged as a candidate and that
he would forever regard his work at
st. Thomas's Of such great impor-
lance as to make him hesitate long
over relinquishing it, no,matter how

quality in Jesus presented the
strongest appeal. The reply was not
moment delayed. 1t was His
courage The soldiers have had lit
tie sympathy with ecclesiastical diff
ferences. But the men that went
over there as religious men did not
lose their religion and the men that
went over there as Christian men
came to see the force in Jesus of
this quality of courage"
Father Bernard Iddings Bell, the
new president of St. Stephens Col
lege, Annandale, N. Y, has an
article in the current "Atlantic
Monthly" in which he says:
"a few of the men who have been
really in it grow mystic-eyed when
one mentions God and battle, but the
disquieting majority seem to grin
with unpleasant amusement. Pos
sibly one chaplain hit it off when he
said: Battle is to man what de-
veloping solution is to a photo
graphic plate. 1t brings out what's
already in him. 1t gives him moth
ing new This much has been said
because we need to recognize that
the average spiritualized veteran is
just possibly, as big myth as that
Puritanical, unsexed saint in khaki
painted by the advertising depart
ment of the Y. M. C. A. That some
men have seen God during the wal
as never before, few doubt. That a
majority of our fellows have done sc
most of the men themselves deny
All agree that it has been only bat
tie itself which has illuminated
those who have spiritually grown"
The Problem
Father Bell served as a chaplain
in the navy. He says further:

dure-all honor to them-do not CON
stitute our spiritual problem. IL
