URGES AGGRESSIVE WORK

themes emphasized last night by
Bishop William T. Manning. Eight
hundred representative men and women
of the Episcopal Diocese Of New York
had met to honor him at a dinner
rendered at, the Waldorf-Astoria by
tho Church Club.
Henry s. Hobart, president Of the
club, presided and introduced the
speakers. Eugenius II. Outerbridge
voiced the greeting Of the laymen to
their newly consecrated Bishop. The
Very Rev. Howard Chandler Robbins,
dean OF the Cathedral, was the spokes-
man for the 400 clergymen OF the
diocese, and the Right Rev. Thomas
Frank Gailor, Presiding Bishop OF the
council Of the church, welcomed tho
chief guest into the fellowship Of the
House of Bishops.
Bishop Manning, who was the last
speaker. received a great ovation. the
dinner guests all rising as he was pre-
sented. He said that in the generously
kindly things that had been said OF him
he ecarcely recognized his own picture.
but that he did recognize in the words
Of his good friends a standard which he
must strive to attain and which. with
Gods help. he would try to realize.
II believe" said the Bishop, I'VE have
reached a time when the church In this
diocese Is ready for great things. I be-
Iievc we all feel that we want to think
less of the divisive things which weaken
and separate US and more OF the great
central things OF Christ. which draw US
so near to each other and give us
strength and power for our common
work.
wants Loyalty and Liberty.
I'VE want the full liberty which Is
consistent with the law Of this church,
and that Is a very great liberty. greater.
we rejoice to say. than that OF any
ether church in Christendom. IT Is not
necessary that we all should think alike.
COD forbid! But We do want loyalty to
the principles Of the church and respect
for the plain rules and laws OF the
church, which. as Christians. we our

men. we must all want this. for We
know that on no other principle can we
have any corporate life at all. What we
want now Is peace in the ranks In order
that we may have war at the front-tne

up OF His Kingdom In this world. Some

love. brotherhood in Christ. When We
have these discipline will look after
itself"
Reiterating the points he had stressed
in his convention address on the day OF
his conservation and again In his last
Sunday sermon In Trinity Church. the
Bishop said some OF the achievements
which he especially desired were to see
a more generous support for ST. Ste
rhen's College, an adequate endowment
for the support OF the Episcopate, a
yatsinx of the salaries OF the clergy OF
the diocese beyond It's present minimum
of $1,000 and progressive. aggressive
work toward the completion of the nave
of the Cathedral Of St John the Divine.
He wanted to see the diocese doing more
work in the rural districts. more among
the Young people OF the schools and col
leres. more among the negroes and more
among citizens of foreign BIRTH"
Speaking in eulogy OF the recent dioc-
e.an convention. Bishop Manning said :
'It crowned It's splendid work BY elect
ing as suffragan bishops two men whose
choice should give, and / am sure will
give. satisfaction to the entire diocese,
two men Of strength, OF experience and
~ epiritual power, for each Of whom
have a warm personal affection, each OF
whom will make his own special con-
tribution to our united strength. both
OF whom l welcome with my whole heart
as brothers and ro-iaborrrs, Bishop
Lloyd and the Rev. DR.. Shpman."

At the beginning OF the dinner the In
vocation was pronounced by the Right
Rsv. Arthur Sclden Lloyd. who has jus,
been chosen one OF the Suffragans Of the
diocese.
Bishop Gailor commented upon the
great contribution Trinity Parish had
made to the episcopate, having given six
of the ten bishops of New York. while
the first convention of the Episcopal
Church In the United States had met In
Trinity Church and tho conservation OF
the 1irst American pisnop aiso nu0

Enumcratins Bishop Manning's, many
qualifications for tho episcopate. Bishop
Gailor said he also had q sense OF
humor. which is highly important to a
bishop. Il have always maintained

had been an irish woman and he could

theology might have becn changed"
