Opens N. Y. Conference

Boston, Dec. 1.-THE meeting of the
president and council of the Episcopal
church in New York Thursday "opens
a new era in the history of the church"
said Bishop Lawrence.
American national democratic
and representative have been slogans
of the church from the time of the revo-
luton. The majority of the signers of
the declaration of independence were
connected with the Episcopal church,
and the men influential in the writing
the constitution of the EI iscopal church.
The diocesan conventions and the gen.
eral convention with their upper and
lower houses run parallel with the state
legislatures and the two houses of con-
gress.
"A dread of autocracy and over CEN
tralization has hitherto held back the
Episcopal church from adopting q
central executive. After years of dis
cussion, however, the general conven-
tion at Detroit created and elected an
executive. which to good degree fills
out the analogy of the government OF
the United States and it's executive
