Final Service to Be Held at
St. Mark's Today.
THANKS EXTENDED CITY
Many Delegates Said to Have Ix"f
for Homes in Remote Part
of Country.
Business of the triennial meeting
of the Woman's Auxiliary of the
Episcopal church was brought to a
close yesterday with an all-day
session devoted almost entirely to
final reports and duties. The final
service will be observed this morn
ing '"at 10 o'clock at St. Mark's
church with, the celebration of holy
communion. The address wiu db
made by Rt. Rev. Louis Childs San-
ford;. D. D., bishop of San Joaquin.
The closing sessions of the aux
iliary have shown that many of th(
delegates and visitors have already
departed for their homes, many hav
ing: come from remote parts ot tnis
and other countries. It was esti
mated that approximately 385 au
thorized delegates were present at
the auxiliary meetings, represent
ing 95 dioceses. In addition there
were hundreds of visitors from out
of town as well as from Portland
churches. Mrs. Wilson Johnston
president of the auxiliary and of
the women's auxiliary of the dio-
. cese of Oregon, has presided over
all business sessions of the national
body.
Debate Is lively.
Lively discussion was aroused
yesterday by the introduction of a
resolution by Mrs. Loaring Clark of
Tennessee, to the effect that eacn
national woman's organization in
the church, recognized as a co
operative agency by the national
council, should, if it so desire, be
represented on the executive board
of the auxiliary by one member
whom should elect or appoint.
The vote, which followed a rapid
fire debate, taken by diocese,
turned out a tie. Mrs. Johnston,
as chairman of the meeting, cast
the deciding vote on the negative
side.
Bishop Rennie Innas, bishop of
Jerusalem, told of the existing con
ditions in Palestine among Christ
ians, Jews and Moslems, the desire
for peace and the part western
civilization is playing in bringing
this about. He. gave an account of
the work of the church of England
in schools where Christian, Jewish
' and Moslem girls and boys are
being taught the principles of
Christianity with .the consent of
their parents.
Secretaries f.ive Talks.
Various secretaries of the church
addressed the afternoon part of the
closing auxiliary session, giving a
look forward in church work. Those
included were Dr. John W. Wood,
executive secretary of the depart
ment of missions; Rev. W. E. Gard
ner, executive secretary of religious
education; Bishop Thomas F. Gailor,
president of the council; Dean
Lathrop, executive secretary of the
department of Christian social serv
ice, and Lewis Franklin, treasurer
of the church and vice-president of
the national council.
Dr. Wood urged the women to aim
at tasks in place of dollars, and Mr.
Gardner asked for increasing. inter
est in young women in colleges, for
more faithful daily "Bible reading
and for support of scholarship funds.
Kduoation Declared Xeed.
Bishop Gailor, pronouncing the
auxiliary the moving force in the
church said: "What the church
needs is education, a spread of the
knowledge of what our church is
and what religion is."
Other speakers of the afternoon
were Miss Eva Corey, chairman of
the committee on the dispatch of
business, who made suggestions
concerning the kind of social serv
ice which might be rendered by
the auxiliary; Mrs. Monteagle of
California and Deaconess Newell,
representing the women from her
field of work in Mexico.
Portland Is Thanked.
A resolution of appreciation,
presented by Miss Ruddle of Penn
sylvania, chairman of the commit
tee on courtesy, . expressed the ap
preciation of the auxiliary for cour
tesies extended by the city of Port
land, Bishop and Mrs. Walter T.
Sumner, Mrs. Johnston, the women
of the various committees, by mem
bers of other denominations, the
pages, ushers. . boy scouts, the or
ganist and choir, the press, the
mayor of Portland, civic authorities.
An additional resolution expressed
the thanks of the auxiliary for the
courtesy of authorities of the Port
land central library, where study
classes were held.
local nress. It remains to be seen
whether the resolution will be read j
before the deputies or receive at
tention or answer.
In a letter accompanying the reso
lution, Fred L. Gifford, exalted Cy
clops of Luther Powell klan. says
his "splendid organization, to a man,
believes in the ideas as set forth in
your resolution."
It was admitted that the conven
tion resolution deprecating activi
ties of certain societies, "whose
masked and unknown members cap
italize bigotry and hate," was di
rected specifically at the ku klux
klan. Despite this fact the klan
resolution quotes the convention
Cpcument and proceeds to give ap
proval to it.
The- Knights of the Ku Klux Klan,
referred to as "an American Chris
tian fraternal organization," accord
ing to what follows, "numbers
among its most loyal and zealous
members many ministers and lay
men of the Protestant Episcopal
faith." After commending the
"fearless stand" of, the- churchmen,
rhe resolution says:
But we go further and condemn all
socl-eties, whether they parade under the
nilR. nf "natriotic" or "religious" so
cieties, and whether they be masked or
unmasked, whose memberships capitalize
b.gotry and hate, foster racial and re
ligious prejudice and encourage acts of
lawlessness and mob violence.
The next paragraph says the- klan
members "are pleased to have the
hearty co-operation and assistance
of your great Christian body in our
earnest endeavors to" make, these
United States a better country to
live in.
"We reiterate our oft-repeated
statement, to officers, of the law,
that we expect them to enforce the
law without fear or favor," says the
resolution, adding that the klan
stands ready to assist in this.

mission on concordat early in tne
convention sessions presented its
report. Yesterday, when the ques
tion came before the bishops. Bishop
Reginald H. Weller of the diocese
of Fond du Lac, presented a minor
ity report. It was signed only by
himself, but he made a vigorous
fight on the floor of the house for
his contentions and had only fin
ished when adjournment hour was
at hand.
Ken Bishop Gratified.
Bishop Remington, interviewed
after confirmation of his election,
expressed himself as pleased with
the prospect of coming to Oregon to
take up the work rormeny camea
on by Bishop Paddock.
The house of bishops," iJlsnop
Remington said, "has selected me
for this work and its wishes are
supreme with me. But do not think
I am at all hesitant about coming to
Oregon. I see that there is a big
work ahead here, a splendid neia.
shall be glad to enter upon my
work in this field just as soon as I
can conclude undertakings cow un
der way in my district in South Da
kota. I have been in missionary
work four years and like it.
'In coming to Oregon I do not
come without fair knowledge of the
needs of just such a territory as that
now given me. I have been work
ing in an agricultural section, but
where there are mines and timber
as well; in fact, the two districts
seem very much alike."
Prelate Young: Man.
' Bishop Remington is one of the
youngest bishops of the Episcopal
church. He looks decidedly younger
than he is. He was born in Phila
delphia, Pa,, March 13, 1879. He was
eraduated from the University or
Pennsylvania in 13u0 and from the
"Virginia Theological seminary in
1505. From the university he re
ceived a bachelor of science degree
and from the seminary that of doc-
tdntof divinity.
He became a deacon in 1905, and
was ordained and made a priest in
1906. From 1905 to 1907 he was
connected with Holy Trinity church
n Philadelphia. From 1907 to 1918
he was rector of St. Paul's church
ri Minneapolis. In 1918 he was
consecrated as suffragan bishop of
South Dakota, the position he has
since held. J
Bishop Remington is one of the
members of the house of bishops
who saw service overseas. He was
the only bishop consecrated in uni
form, as he was under orders to pro
ceed with base hospital No. 26 when
the time for consecration arrived.
This hospital unit was formed at
Rochester, Minn., by the . famous
Mayo brothers, and also had a large
contingent from the University of
Minnesota. It was known as the
Minnesota base hospital unit. As
its chaplain the bishop spent six
months in this . country and six
months overseas.
. . Wife Able Assistant. .
In 1905 Bishop Remington married
Miss Florence Lyman Allen of Bur
lington, Vt., who has ever since
been an able assistant in his work
as rector and bishop. Mrs. Reming
ton? is widely known among Kpis
copal churchmen and is spoken of
as 'a ! very capabie and gracious
woman. She is attending the conven
tion with her husband. They have
no children.
Bishop Remington is of slight
build and rather thin of face, giving
those who meet him the impression
that he may not enjoy robust
health. He very much dislikes to
have anyone think him "delicate" of
health or constitution. To offset this
impression his friends merely cite
the fact that while he was in the
University of Pennsylvania he was
a member of the American athletic
team which competed in the Olym
pics. He was a brilliant hurdler and
jumper in his college days and re
tains that athletic prowess to a re
markable extent.
Unity Up to Deputies.
If the house of d-eputies. concurs,
the Episcopalian church, as a body,
will join the National Council of
Churches. Decision to this effect
was reached by the house of bish
ops, convened in session last night.
Overman: hour of acrimonious debate
preceded the ballot. Jhe measure
carried by almost a two to one vote.
The invitation to join came in the
form of a resolution submitted by
Bishop Brent.
"For 12 years we have been ring
ing the church bell for Christian
unity asking others to join. But
in thpss 12 years, we have stayed
iu the bell tower," he declared.
Bishop Gailor, in opposing, de
clared that the national council was
antagonistic to the Roman Catholic
and Greek churches and that he was
opposed to union with any organi
zation that tended to cause further
discord in the Christian body.
"Instead of bringing about Chris
tian unity, they are further dividing
the Christian people," he said.
"We've slapped our Protestant
brothers in the face," t-estily de
clared Bishop Williams. Now is the
time for us to put up or shut up on
Christian unity."
An attempt to put over the matter
of the concordat' with the Congrega
tionalists for another - three years
was defeated and this subject was
made a special order of business for
today.
Ground to Be Broken for Church.
BEND, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.)
Breaking ground for Bend's new
$30,000 Baptist church will take
place within two weeks. Rev. F. H.
Beard, pastor of the church, stated
today. An effort will be made to
swelhthe building fund to $25,000 by
Fundamentalists and modernists
high churchmen and low clashed
in verbal battle on the floor of the
house of deputies of the Episco
palian general convention yesterday
afternoon. "
The inclination of the high chuch
men toward Roman Catholics and
medieval phraseology precipitated
one fight; the old question of the
authenticity and the literal transla
tion of the bible was responsible for
the other. The low churchmen won
their point and the modernists rout
ed the fundamentalists in their con
troversy.
Commandments Are Assailed.
' The argument was furious, one
minister, during the debate, shocked
the conservative element by declar
ing that he believed a certain por
tion of the ten commandments was
blasphemy. During the conflict Dr.
Alexander Mann, presiding officer,
was obliged to stop the debate while
the house bowed its collective head
and prayed for charity and spiritual
guidance.
Like other questions which have
Etirred the convention, the matters
on which the battle hinged were rel
atively unimportant ' in themselves.
But, representing as they did, the
general trend of the church, they
are regarded as decisions of con
siderable importance.
Communion Starts Row.
The fight was begun over an at
tempt to introduce the words "the
divine liturgy" and "holy eucharist'
into the title for communion serv
ice. The battle was the result of
the plan of the prayer book revision
commission to make the reading of
tne commentary of the command
ments an optional matter. Neither
of these questions affected the laws.
theories or doctrines of the church.
The storm broke when the mes
sage of the house of ' bishoDS,
amending the title of the holy Com
munion service, was read.- ... This
change would make the title read,
"the divine liturgy, being the order
for the Lord's supper or holy eu
charist, commonly called the holy
communion."
" Church Split Predicted.
You will split the church into
two factions," heatedly declared
Rosweil Page, lay delegate from
Virginia. "You will make yourself
no stronger with the Catholics and
you will weaken your church with
tne Protestant element."
"The men of this generation have
neither the liturgial skill nor the
piety to make this change," heatedly
aeciarea It. h . Henry or Iowa.
i he high churchmen were not
witnout their champions. In the
midst of the debate Dr. Minn
rapped for order and read prayers.
l.ne aeoate was renewed, the mat
ter went to a vote and the high
churchmen lost. The title of the
service will remain the eame as in
tne present prayer book.
Creation Declared Mythical.
The work of revision of the com
munion service proceeded smoothly
"' ie commandments were
reacnea. Tne prayer, book commia
sion, in its revision, has made the
saying oi tne iirst part, or the
commandment itself, obligatory,
wi.ic me seuona part, or com
mentary, . is optional. It was ex
piainea mat tne pnraseology of the
cuuiuianomenia is out of place in
modern life.
"We used to believe that God
made the world in seven days "
said George Zabruskie of New Tork
ve ao not oeiieve that now. We
are distressed to hear priests say
"""6 wuiun ecnoiars Know can
not be true."
"The young people of the present
uiy are not impressed by the word
ing of the commandments," said
Rev.- W. B. Kinsolving of Maryland.
Flrxt Commandment Attacked.
The real fight was staged over
that part of the first command
ment, reading: "For I, the Lord thy
God, am a jealous God and visit the
sins of the fathers upon the chil
dren, unto the third and fourth gen
erations." "There are many of us who do not
believe that phrase," said Rev W F
Sterrett of Bethlehem. "If you omit
it you do not force us to say things
we do not believe. I, myself, be
lieve that those words are blas
phemy." The champions "of the fundamen
talists rushed to the defense of the
exact wording of the scriptures.
Attempts to change or abrevia"t
Lthe commandments were held to be
a direct blow at the very foundation
of religion. The authenticity of the
Bible was upheld, the divine sanc
tion of the book was pointed out.
The last commandment caused an
other clash. Rev. F. M. Kirkas of
Wilmington would have substituted
the word "automobile" for "ox,"
holding that the children of this
generation, knowing nothing about
oxen, would be more impressed by
a phraseology which they could
understand.
Another clergyman objected to
the injunction against labor in the
third commandment.
"What Is the use of reading to
the congregation the injunction
against labor foy "thy son, thy
daughter, thy man servant, thy maid
servant," when everyone knows that
some member of the family is at
home cooking dinner?"
In short, the modernists held that
the phraseology of the old Mosaic
commandments was so antiquated
that the people could not under
stand the meaning of the Injunc
tions themselves; the fundamental
ists held that any attempt to modify
the commandments was a sacrilege
and a direct affront to the Diety.
t ne matter, going to vote, showed
the modernists the victors by a close
margin. , The laymen opposed the
change, the clerical deputies favored
tne aDDreviatea form.
Convention XMsintegrratlnff.
The convention is rapidly disin
tegrating. Lay delegations of ten
dioceses were absent yesterday. An
other exodus followed on last night's
trains. A plea has been made for
the delegates to maintain a con
stitutional quorum . until the of
ficial close of the convention. :
Prayers and prayer books were
almost the entire order of busi
ness yesterday. Proposals by the
Oregon delegation that the canons
on marriage and divorce be printed
in the prayer book, and that a spe
cial service for children, be pre
pared, were lost.
