CHURCHMEN PLEAD
FOR WORLD PEACE
Better Understanding Held
Means to End.
COMMISSION OF CHURCH DRAMA AND PAGEANTRY VISUALIZES CHARACTERS FROM SCRIPTURES TO MAKE BIBLICAL
STORIES MORE IMPRESSIVE. '
CANADIANS VOICE HOPE
Visiting Clergymen Address House
of Deputies of Organization
'ow in Session Here.
Pleas for a better understanding
between nations, for a union of
Engrlish-speaking races that would
insure peace ana Justice on earth,
were made yesterday at the meeting
of the house of deputies of the
Protestant Episcopal church by
Right Rev. A. W. de Fonder,
bishop of New Westminster, and
Right Rev. A. J. louil, bishop of
Kootenay, official representatives
of the Canadian church, who had
been delegated to represent their
chtfrch at the American convention.
As a result of stirring addresses
by the two Canadian churchmen,
resolutions calling for universal
peace were adopted unanimously by
the deputies.
"I speak for a closer union of
those who speak our language and
for the preservation of the world,"
said Eishop de Poncier. "By the
common bereavement, by the com
mon suffering of yours and ours in
the great war, surely, gentlemen
and brothers, we will not permit, we
will use every possible means in
our power to prevent, a recurrence
of that catastrophe. We will work
in common for the weeding out of
those men and causes that breed
war. '
Bishop Doull's address was along
similar lines, though he stressed re
ligion and Christ more prominently
than did his fellow churchman. He
pleaded for the injection of religion
into the private and public lives of
the English-speaking races. he
spoke for a more virile Christianity
and the placing of the doctrines of
Christ in the political, the educa
tional, the commercial and the in
dustrial lives of the people.
Church Works for Peace.
The peace resolution, offered by
Ira W. Stratton. delegate from
Reading, was. adopted without dis
senting vote. It called upon the
church to pray and work for uni
versal peace.
Yesterday's sessions of the house
of deputies were devoted largely to
clearing up matters left over from
the last convention. Several con
stitution and prayer book changes,
adopted in 1919, came up for final
! ratification yesterday. These changes
were largely technical and were
passed, although one, giving suf
fragan bishops the right to vote,
was sent back for further consid
eration by the committee. j
The house commenced its delib- i
erations at 10 A. M. Following
prayer, the personnel of a commit
tee to frame a suitable memorial for
Dr. Anstice, retiring secretary, was
announced.
A momentary lull followed, then a
storm of invitations for the 1923
convention commenced. Rev. Edwin
J. Van Etten of Pittsburg was on
his feet with an invitation from
that city. Pittsburg's facilities for
handling the ' convention, its halls
and hotels were lauded by the min
ister. The fact that that city is the
center of church population and that
! it affords an excellent opportunity
for studies of social problems was
advanced by the speaker.
Dr. Floyd W. Tompkins, of . the
rivaK diocese of Pennsylvania, pre
sented Philadelphia's invitation.
That city, he contended, had with
drawn in favor of Portland at the
last convention with the under
standing that the 195 gathering of
churchmen would be staged there.
Stw Orleans In Race.
New Orleans presented its plea
through Rev. W. S. Stack of Alex
andria. That southern city was pic
tured as the convention city of
k America, the real home of hospital
ity. The facilities for studying the
negro, the mill aiW the mountain
problems were touched on by the
speaker. The fact that the mayor, a
Knight of Columbus, and the head
of the city's commercial organiza
tions, a Hebrew, had issued the for
mal invitation, brought cheers from
the audience.
For severaT minutes seconds were
in order. Atlanta, Tennessee, Geor
gia, Chicago and Washington dele
gates backed New Orleans' request.
The matter of seconding became
general. Dr. Mann, rapping for or
der, cleared the situation, and a
resolution calling for the appoint
ment of a joint commission to make
recommendations on the next con
vention site was adopted. The sec
onding continued, though, Okla
homa, Arkansas and Virginia dele
gations adding their approval of
New Orleans as a meetiner olace.
A number of memorials of minor
importance followed. One minister
wanted to know why the church
pension fund refused to provide life
insurance at cost to ministers 59
years of age and over. Another
proposed an expenditure of J100 to
provide typewritten copies of
changes in the canons. George Za
briskie, of New York, presented a
report on theological seminaries.
' t Prised Relics Now Safe.
The report of Dr. Robert Rogers.
of Xjong Island, chairman of the
commission on archives, followed.
Dr. Rogers outlined the condition of
the church's historical papers when
the commission commenced Its work,
a rare first edition of the prayer
book of the time of King James
was found on an cpen shelf in a
room in the New York office. Other
precious documents of great histori
cal value were paciced in disorder
in a safe neither fire nor burglar
proof. Under the commission these
documents have been gathered to-
pettier, placed in metal boxes and
filed away. The commission pro
posed to provide a modern vault for
these documents, also to print a
catalogue which would be distrib
uted to historians and librarians,
giving lists of the papers on file.
The matter of changes in the con
stitution occupied the attention of
the house. Considerable argument,
principally concerning rules of pro
cedure, followed.
The first of these matters to re
ceive the attention of the house was
the plan of transferring from the
presiding bishop to the presiding
bishops of provinces the duty of
caring for vacant missionary dis
tricts. It was carried.
The rollcall on a second matter,
touching on the right of a bishop
to resign, had Just commenced when
the arrival of the delegation ' of
Canadian churchmen was announced.
Shortly before time for noon ad
journment the rollcall was resumed
and this measure carried. Both of
these amendments had been pro
posed at the convention of 1919 and

REV. P. E. OSGOOD BOOKED
. FOR LEADING ROLE.'
Eight Stores
were up for final ratification yes
terday. The afternoon session was largely
technical, with continued consider
ation of constitutional and prayer
book changes, adopted at the con
vention of 1919. Because rujes of
the house demanded a separate roll
call on each change, the afternoon
was given over entirely to calling
and checking the vote of the 70
different dioceses represented.
-Mr Stratton's peace resolution
was offered and adopted. The house
then went back to the constitutional
changes. The matter of giving the
Ij-ight of vote to suffragan bishops
had previously been referred back
to committee. Several other reso
lutions of a purely technical nature
were adopted.
Prayer book changes, adopted at
the last convention, stirred up sev
eral theological discussions. The
proposed new prayer for the presi
dent of the United States was at
tacked by speakers as being poor
English, ambiguous, typical high- j
school rhetoric and absolutely un-
comparaole with the grand Eliza
bethan English of the old .book. The
multiplicity of prayers and the con
fusion they would cause at services
were also mentioned by speakers.
The changes, eight in number, had
been siated for action on one roll
call, but strenuous objections by
several parliamentarians among the
deputies forced a separate, call on
each measure. The proceedings grew
tiresome,, delegations totally . aban
doned the convention hall and Dr.
Mann, ' rapping for order, was
obliged to demand that at least one
delegate from each diocese remain
seated to cast the vote for his fel
low deputies.
Before adjournment the commit
tee on new dioceses recommended
that the missionary districts of
South Florida and Asheville be made
dioceses, under the names of the
diocese of south Florida and the
diocese of western north Carolina.
The committee also recommended
that the diocese of South Carolina
be divided. The house of bishops
must concur before the house of
deputies takes final action on this
matter.

PROMINENT NEW YORK MAN
GIVES LIFE TO SERVICE.
Vice-President of Guaranty Trust
Company Is Treasurer of
. Episcopal 'Council.
When the choice came to X,ewis
B. Franklin, prominent New York
layman in attendance af .the Epis
copal convention, to give up his
banking career and devotei himseli
to a life of service, he chose the
latter course unhesitatingly, and he
said yesterday he has never been
thing helpful, something that would
not make him richer, but might
make 'him considerably poorer.
It did r.ot take him long to make
up his rhind. . He saw an opportun
ity for service and it appealed t
him. He turned "his 'back on bank
ing and set about building up a
business-like, highly efficient sys
tem of things- within the church
organizations. .' t -
Mr. Franklin is treasurer and vlce
oresident of the council, " which is
the cabinet of the convention, and
carries on during the three-year in
terims between - conventions, and
also, treasurer of the domestic and
foreign missionary society.
He is active- principally, -In intro
ducing business methods and in
arousing the interest and personal
services of every member in church
work. The nation-wide campaign
of the church has attracted his spe
cial efforts. . "
In appearance Mr. Franklin is to
the very life the alert, successful
business man of the larger Ameri
can cities. He started in his bank
ing career as of fide boy -and mes
senger in 1895, and worked through
successive stages to the vice-presidency
of the Guaranty Trust. But
he has set for himself- an entirely
new work in life, and the past three
years, when he" has done no bank
ing, he said, have been the happiest
in his life.
