the session of its annual diocesan
council last week at ST. PauPs Church
in Weston. A motion was offered in
structing the finance committee 10 work
out a financial apportionment 20 take
care OF the Episcopal and contingent
funds, including an amount sufficient
to pay the salary Of a Bishop Coadju-
TOR, and while this was under considera-
ton G. w. Peterkin, OF Parkersburg,
a lay delegate, moved that owing to
the unsettled state of affairs and tho
lack OF agreement, the question of
electing a Bishop Coadjutor be de-
ferred until the next annual meeting of

drew the former motion and the matter
goes over until next year. Delegates
