Pittsburgh Invites Convention
Sharp competition for the meeting Of
the next general convention was dis
played in the house of deputies when
an invitation was presented from Pitts
burgh by the deputies from that do
cese. The claims of Philadelphia were
strongly urged by the Rev. DIR. Floyd
w. Tompkins, rector of Holy Trinity
Church, and ably seconded by Colonel
William P. Barba. Other invitations
were given by Providence and New Or
leans, the latter with the Endorsement
of the solid South.
The matter was referred to a joint
committee of two bishops and two cler-
ical and lay deputies, and will be de-
cided later. The remainder of the
morning session was occupied with the
consideration of amendments to the
constitution coming up for final ratifi-
cation.
After prolonged debate the House
of Bishops rejected the proposed
amendment of the constitution giving
suffragan bishops vote in the House
of Bishops. Sixty-two votes were
necessary and fifty-nine voted in favor
of the amendment. Bishop Thomas j.
Garland led the fight on behalf of the
suffragans. Bishop R. H. Weller, of
Fond Du Lac, Wis, led the opposition
and was supported by Bishop William
7. Manning, of New York, and Bishop
johnson, of. Colorado.
In the II q sc of Deputies the Rev.
DIR. Charles Lewis Slattery, of New
York, introduced for ratification the
changes adopted in the prayer book
at the last conventions: Roswell Page
lay deputy from Virginia, declared
that the changes were not justified
The debate centered around the pro-
posed alternate prayer for the Presi-
dent of the United States. DR.. Hop
kins, of Chicago, criticized the English
of the prayer.
When the House of Bishops con-
vehed the presiding bishop presented
memorial from the diocese OF Arkan-
sas asking for action to be taken in
the case of the Right Rev. Dr. Mont
gomery Brown, retired bishop of Ar
kansas. Since his retirement, in 1912
Bishop Brown has published works
which are not in accord with the doc
trines of the Church, some of which
are of pronounced socialistic char
acter. Much feeling has been aroused
in Arkansas. The memorial was re-
bishops, which will report later in the
sessions.
The resignation of the Right Rev
DR.. J. D. Morrison, as Bishop of Du-
luth, owing to inirmity, was accepted
| The house also accepted the resigna-
ton of Bishop Robert L. Paddock as
missionary bishop of eastern Oregon
