New Head of the Diocese

The Rev. Or. William II. Manning,

Protestant Episcopal Church this has
been done, it was said.
The announcement that the Rev. DR..
Samuel Smith Drurys of st. Paul's
School, Concord, N. H., who was elected
rector of Trinity Parish April 8, had
declined probably will prolong DR..
Manning's work in his present post.

of the vestrymen of Trinity Church
VIII be held Monday several of the
Vestrymen said yesterday they believed
that no action would be taken to elect
a new rector at that time.

required at Trinity Church for g. time
until the new rector could leave his
present post, whatever that might be,
and take up the work u the parish.
Regret Over DR.. Drury's Decision
General regret was expressed over
DR.. Drury's declining the Trinity
Church post. His announcement was
made known Thursday at the Ascension
service in the chapel of st. Paul's
School, In Concord. In his letter, DR..
Drury announced yesterday in Concord,
he said that he was deeply gratifed at
the signal honor represented in the
call.
Il should have liked very much to
have gone to Trinity Church." he con-
tlnued, "but felt my work here was
not done and that l should stay here
and do it."
DR.. Manning had no statement to
issue yesterday in regard to his hold
ing the positions of Bishop of the do
cese and rector Of Trinity Parish at
the same time.

tant Episcopal Church in the United
