reporting on the seventh day Of the ses-
sion to the joint meeting of the two
houses.
A movement which is supported by
prominent delegates In both houses,
among them Bishop Williams OF Mich
igan, has been started to recommend
that all the proposed revisions be printed
separately as an appendix to the book
of common prayer and their use be made
optional for the next three years. After
the revisions have been tested for that
period of time they will come up again
for final action or amendment
The fight that centered I'm the opening
session around the question of granting
the right 10 vote to suffragan bishops,
was reopened this morning and made a
special order of business for Monday
afternoon. with one hour limit for action
and debate limited TO five minutes for
each speaker. The debate promises to
be one of the hottest In the convention
as bishops on both sides OF the question
are very definite in their opinions.
Bishop Lines's Belief.
Bishop Lines of Newark declared that
II Is his belief that unless vote is
granted to suffragan Bishops, the entire
break down. as their bishops are all
suffragan and have no voice In the de-
liberations OF the convention.
Both houses concurred In resolutions
adopting Asheville, N. c.. as a new
diocese and also making the missionary
diocese OF South Florida a regular
diocese.
The report OF the commission on the
estate of women in the church, was sub
mitted this morning and will be mp for
action early next week. 1t has two revo-
lutionary provisions, which II adopted
will make women eligible to seats in the
House of Deputies and to appointment
as lay readers.
The findings of the commission of the
concordat, reporting substantial agree
ment between the Episcopal church and
the Congregational communion may be
filibustered out Of the convention.
When the report was submitted this
morning Bishop c. p. Anderson of Chi
cago stopped action on 1t by invoking
the decision Of the house already made,
whereby revision Of the book of common
prayer is to have the right Of way over
all other matters OF policy. The consid-
GRAFTON OF the concordat report accord
ingly was not placed on the calendar of
the House of Bishops.
When it was pointed out to Bishop
Anderson that this action might cause
the concordat, which deals with the
closer affiiation of Eoiscopalian with
other churches, to be indefinitely held
over and not even come to action in the
present session he expressed Indifference
whether it is acted upon or not.
Bishop PaddOck's Case.
The case OF Bishop Robert l.. Pad
dock, missionary Bishop of eastern
Oregon, who is Ill from nervous col
lapse In New York, threatened to upset
the Bishops session this noon, and il
was only by hurrying the house into
executive session that the chairman was
able to head off an open debate on the
matter. After the close of the session
the Bishops simply reported it as an
item of unfinished business and 1t may
come up again Monday.
Bishop Page of Spokane, chairman of
the special committee appointed to con-
slider the resignation. presented resolu-
ton shortly before noon in which ac-
ceptance was based on the report of
medical authorities that Bishop Pad
dock would not be able to return to
work. Bishop Page added that Gin
kindness" to Bishop Paddock he urged
that the resignation be accepted expedi-
tiously. The resolution contained high
commentator of Bishop Paddock
work I'm eastern Oregon.
Bishop +. S. Johnson of Missouri re-
marked: 81 want to hear FIRST what the
diocese of Eastern Oregon thinks OF
Bishop Paddock and his work. / am
not willing to vote on this until know
fully what 1t Is about"
