8 THE MORNING OREGOXIAX, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1922 PENALIZING SYSTEM ffitUHHU Dr. Morrison Makes Attack at Episcopal Session. PRINCIPLE HELD WRONG Monetary Representation at Conven tion Violates Spirit of Church, It Is Declared. An attack by Dr. A. A. Morrison, rector of Trinity church,, on the sys tem of penalizing Episcopal parishes and missions In representation at the diocesan convention because of fail ure to meet certain church assess ments featured the closing session ot the annual convention of the Episco pal diocese of Oregon yesterday after noon. "Monetary representation is. of fensive and violates the spirit of a church .founded, on the religion of Jesus ot Nazareth," said Dr. Morrison. Discrimination Is Charged. "I am' not. speaking in defense of any particular parish or individual, ' but against the principle involved. Often a poor parish or mission, struggling to carry on its work under unavoidable difficulties, is unable to tay the. assessments required. It Is cruelly unjust to deprive such a unit in the church of full representation in sessions of the diocesan convention." Dr. Morrison charged that "discrim inations had been made against Trin ity church." and declared that he would "have a great deal more to say tn the public on this subject on a subsequent occasion" The Trinity rector intimated that funds for maintenance of diocesan activities had been dispensed In an unbusinesslike manner. "A great deal of money has been spent during the last year in the diocese. In spite of the fact that we have fewer members of the clergy than in other years and in view of the work accomplished, which ha not been particularly suc cessful," he said. "1 may say more about this at some later date," he added. tirwi of Rector Opposed. Dr. S. E. Joseph!, a prominent lay . delegate, opposed the view of Dr. Morrison and declared that adoption of a measure abolishing monetary representation "would spell the finan cial ruin of the diocese." Rev.
