the Federal Government. The church's
General Convention is divided into a
House of Bishops, corresponding to the
Senate with the bishops representing
the dioceses as the Senators represent
the States; and the House of Deputies,
which is composed of clerical and lay
deputies, four of each, democraticaliy
elected from the dioceses.
Carrying out still further the parallel
between the Federal Government and
the government of the church. the busi-
ness of the latter is conducted when
General Convention Is not in session by
the national council or cabinet. COM
posed of 80 members elected by the con-
vention and about equally divided be-
tween the clergy and the laity.
The president OF the national council
Is the Right Rev John Gardner Murray
D. D., Bishop of Maryland. and presid-
ing bishop of the church. The vice
president and treasurer is Lewis B
Franklin, formerly prominent Wall
Street financier and director of the
war loans organization which floated
$22 1000 900 of Liberty and Victory loans
during the World War.
The General Convention Is the sole and
final authority in all church matters
There Is no other individual or organi-
zation in the final analysis authorized
to speak for the Episcopal Church than
General Convention. All questions of
whatever character concerning the
church are ultimately referred to the
General Convention for decision.
Accordingly. the convention which
will assemble IN Washington on October
10 will comprehensively deal with every
present problem affecting the church
Whatever position the church may de-
eide to take on such questions as funda-
mentalism. modernism. prohibition, mar
riage. divorce, etc. must be declared by
convention alone, and any action and
declaration upon any of these points
which is not voiced by General Conven-
ton will have no binding effect on the
church.

The recent prayer book revision ef-
forts in England have focused inter-
est on the forthcoming completion of
a general revision of the Book of Com
mon Prayer, which has been under way
since the General Convention OF 1918.
There are matters of great moment to
be disposed of by the Episcopal Church
in this connection, for they include the
enrichment of prayers for special oc-
casions, the eXcision of the word ''obey"
from the marriage ceremony and i'm
portant changes in the order of services.
With the formal approval by the
General Convention Of the revised prayer
book, about 100000 prayer books, at
present in use in the church, will be-
come obsolete This will mean that
not only the cheap edition used in the
tiny rural churches will be consigned
to official oblivion, but also the gold
bound, diamond-studded and morocco
books, which wealthy communicates of
the church carry for their individual
use, will go into the discard.
Revision of the prayer book, impor-
tant as that is, is but one of the ma ior
subjects that win claim the limelight
during the sessions of the General Con-
Vention.< Other topics that will clamor
for attention during the deliberations of
:ae great gathering are: suggested re-
adjustment of the quota system which
involves the method of apportioning
among the diocescs and missionary dis
tricts throughout the church their share
of the missionary budget which is pro-
Vided for each triennium by a General
Convention: the deficit of a million
Anc a half dollars, approximately,
which the church faced at the New
Orleans convention three years ago,
and which churchmen anticipate will
be reported wiped out; future oper-
ations of the church in the Orient
as a result Of the Chinese revolution
and the attitude which the Nationalist
government has assumed with regard
to the teaching Of religion in the
AAl3ols; the report Of the joint commits
M6n on divorce. which has been in
ERaxatioR during the pS@ thEse years.

its roots in the very beginning of the

of the Episcopal Church met in Inde-

by two years the convention which
framed the Constitution of the United
