also lacks but one name of contain

were the English consecrators of
the first four American bishops. For

BISHOP MAY FACE TRIAL

after an
other sharp debate, voted to omit
from the marriage ceremony the re
sponse of the bridegroom in which
he pledges "with all my worldly
goods I thee endow." Sixty bishops
favored omitting this phrase and 31
voted to retain it.
Appointment of "a deputation to
present to the secretary of state a
resolution protesting against the
continued manufacture and distribu
tion of narcotic drugs was author
ized .by vote of the prelates, con
curring with the lower house. On
this committee Chairman Brown
named Bishop Alfred Harding of the
diocese of Washington, D. C. He
will act with Dr. James E. Freeman
of Wasi' . ton, and Blanchard Ran
dall of Baltimore, Md., these two
having been named by the house ot
deputies.
Bishops of the convention die
dissected the report of the commis
sion on the fuller recognition of the
ministry of healing. On the part of
some bishops the report was at
tacked on principle, while others ob
jected that it should go much farther
in recognizing the value of prayer
and laying on of hands as means of
healing. Bishop William Manning
of New York city, where several
churches, hold .healing sessions,
wished more specific approval of
healing practices.
The house eventually concurred In
action of the deputies in discharging
the commission and authorizing ap
pointment of a committee of its own
to make a report on the subject of
healing before the convention closes.

Rabbi Samuel Sachs, formerly of
of the missionary district of eastern
Oregon until 'a bishop is regularly
named for this post This will be
done later in the present conven
tion, when the general, matter of
electing bishops comes up.
There was no little surprise that
temporary jurisdiction over eastern
Oregon was given to a Washington
bishop instead of to Bishop Walter
T. Sumner of the diocese of Oregon.
Presiding Bishop Tuttle, in his an
nouncement, made reference to sug
gestions that the missionary district
of eastern Oregon be. merged with
the diocese of Oregon. There were
hints about convention halls that
Bishoo Sumner had urged thia con
solidation, though confirmation of
this could not be obtained from the
bishop himself.
Bishop Tuttle's protest against
union of the district and diocese and
his opinion of the great future In
store for the Oregon country were
emphatically expressed.
"I feel strongly," said the presid
ing, bishop, "that to unite eastern
Oregon with Oregon would be a
great mistake. Look around Oregon
and see the fertility of the soil.' its
great timber resources and the
prosperity of the people and you
will see what a great future this
country has. We do not want to go
back. Eastern Oregon should have
a bishop of its -own."
Following his statement the pre
siding bishop presented a resolution
to the effect that the convention
proceed to fill the vacancy by elec
tion of a bishop when the time for
such action arrives. This was re
ferred to the committee on domestic
missions. -
Heresy Trial Will Be First.
If the general convention acts fa
vorably on the report of the special
committee which investigated the
case of Bishop Brown, who has been
retired and succeeded in the diocese
of Arkansas, there will be held what
is said to be the first trial of an
American Episcopal bishop for heret
ical utterances.
The utterances which have placed
the retired bishop in such great dia
favor with his associates have been
contained largely in volumes he has
published. In a book entitled "Com
munism and Christianity," he is said
to have promulgated beliefs which
are radically antagonistic to church
doctrines and ordinary religious
teachings. A resolution from his
former diocese says that in this book
he "renounced the Christian re
ligion."
An alternative recommendation of
the investigating committee, of
which the present bishop of Arkan
sas, Right Rev. James R. Winchester,
is chairman, offered an alternative
for the proposed trial for heresy.
This would be merely the "disavow
ing, regretting and repudiating of
the theological holdings" of the re
tired bishop in public statements.
The recommendations have not i-ai,

Speaker Tells Joint, Session
of Episcopal Houses.
That members of the church have
it as their task to "apply the prin
ciples of Jesus Christ to every de
partment of life," was the keynote
sounded yesterday in the joint ses
sion of the Episcopal houses by Rev.
Charles N. Lathrop, executive secre
tay of the department of Christian
social service. The cause of this
department and that of the Sea
men s Church institute, reiatea to
it. was presented at the joint meet
ing. Bishop Edwin S. Lines of New
ark presided.
Speakers listed on the programme
included Bishop Walter T. Sumner
of Oregon; Bishop -George W. Dav
enport of Easton, Md.; Rev. C. P.
Deems of San Fraiicisco; Rev. D. R.
Covell of Washington, D. C; E. L,
Baylies of New York city, and Sec
retaary Lathrop. Other speakers
participated during discussion of
the subject of social service.
It. was a suggestion of Mr. Bay
lies that the Episcopal church spon
sor workingmen's institutes
throughout the country. He spoke
for a closer contact with the
masses.
"Our church is regarded every
where," said Mr. Baylies, "as the
church of the classes and not the
masses. The masses do not ciyne to
our church today because, they are
not always welcomed, but they
should be."
Bishop Sumner spoke of the
growing importance of Portland as
a port, suggesting the need for a
branch of the seamen's institute.
F. C. Morehouse, lay deputy from
Milwaukee, read a statement and
declaration from the church coun

Episcopal Bishops Receive Let

Bishops of the Episcopal conven
tion were much interested yester
day in having read to -them an of
ficial communication from the Port
land railroad strike committee
apologizing for the appearance of
Hermit Bill' Henry before them in
the alleged role c-f an accredited
and responsible spokesman for the
committee.
In response to a written request
for the privilege of presenting the
strike cause and obtaining advice
as to its merits the bishops, in pre-
convention conference, permitted
Henry to make a 30-minute address
before them on September 1.
Henry's talk proved to be an at
tack on the railroads and railroad
managements rather than an ex
position of fundamentals of the
strike situation. The letter read
yesterday said Henry never received

Baptismal Discussion.
Vengeance is the L6rd's; violence

bub, chief of demons, contended the
Rev. C. B. Wilmer, D. D., of Atlanta,
Ga., in a scathing arraignment of
mob violence, offered in the form
of a resolution at the Episcopal
general convention, yesterday.
Mob rule is threatening not only
the nation, but the whole of society.
the clergyman held, and civilization
which has been ages in the build
ing, is menaced with destruction
because public justice has given
way to private revenge and a rever
sion to savagery threatens mankind.
The ministry and church are the
two factors which can bring th
people to a realization of their
duties toward society, Dr. Wilmer
contended, in asking for a public
expression of the church's attitudo
on the question. The resolution was
referred to the committee on social
service for consideration.
Civilization Being Torn Away.
"The man who commits a crime
against another is like a man who
breaks out a window pane on the
top floor of a building. The mob
that lynches that man for his crime
is tearing away the very founda
tion of the building civilization,"
the Atlanta minister stated by way
of explanation.
This, and a-reaolutlon against the
use of gambling devices at church
fairs and entertainments, were the
features of the morning session of
the lower house of the convention.
The afternoon was given over to the
discussion of prayer-book revision,
and out of the mass of deep theolog
ical alignment one little clash took
place, which caused the learned doc
tors and dignified laymen to break
out in laughter. The baptismal
service was taken up, and a pro
posal to substitute other phrases for
the words, "Oh, merciful God, grant
that the old Adam in this child may
be buried," brought an explanation
from Dr. C. Xi. Slattery, secretary of
the prayer-book revision committee.
When the doctor explained that
the change was proposed because
some embarrassment was caused
when the infant being baptized was

before order was restored.
The house opened its session yes
terday with the troublesome matter
of the right of suffrage for suf
fragan bishops confronting it. On
the advice of J. Randolph Anderson,
parliamentarian of the house, a way
was shown for clearing up the dffi
culties that confronted a reconsid
eration of the matter. After this
point was cleared, the house decided
that. It did not want to reopen the
subject and the matter of suffragan
bishops again went on the table.
Reports from the committees on
women and on constitution and
canons were read. The house, in
consideration of the long service In
the church of L. Bradford Prince of
New Mexico, extended him a vote of
thanks by a standing vote
Dr. Wilmer's attack o mob vio
lence was the feature of the day's
sessions. The resolution read in
part:

victims of brutal crime, we must
