ARE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION
Full Report of the First Day's
Proceedings.
NAMES OF THE DELEGATES PRESENT
BLOREENT SERMON BY TILE BISHOP
OF 3101eTRIEAL,
The twenty-eighth General Convention Of
the Protestant Episcopal church of the United
States commenced its triennial session, in St,
Luke's Church, yesterday. This is, without
exception, the most Important session in the
history of the Church. The great work of
ecclesiastical reorganization is one which,
though likely to end in the happiest results,
still requires all the energy and ability of the
most able minds, anti is tme in which the
public attention seems to be thoroughly en
grossed.
The General Convention comprises the
House of Bishops, consisting of all the diocesan
and missionary bishops in the United States;
and of the House of Clerical and Lay Deputies,
-consisting of four cleNgymen and four laymen
from each diocese. Its authority extends over
the whole American Church, but it makes no
alteration in the constitution or in the liturgy
and offices of the Church, without the contlian
plated change is ratified by two conventions
find the dioceses distinctly. The House of
Bishops comprises many eminent prelates.
Their names we gave in our "Religions Intel
ligence' a fortnight ago.
In consequence of the war, the bishops of
.Southern dioceses were not present at the last
General Convention. It is expected, however,
that many of them will be in attendance at the
present session. Bishop Atkinson, of North
Carolina, was present yesterday, and Bishop
Lay, of Arkansas, is expected to arrive in this
oily to-day. _ •
The House of Clerical and Lay Deputies is
composed of nearly three hundred delegates,
and among those appointed to represent dio
ceses in the body, we notice the names of some
of our most distinguished public men and of
many in the more quiet professions of life,
whose names are not unknown to fame:
Ex-Governor Seymour. of New York, and Ol
den of New Jersey; F. Marion McAllister, of
California, and like names foot up the list of
lay deputies. Appended is a complete list of
members of the present House of Clerical and-
Lay Deputies. Those marked with a star were

The deliberations of the convention were
Treaded by the imposing ritual of the Epis
copal Church. With the exception of the pews
along the middle aisle, which were reserved
for the clerical and lay deputies, the church
Was crowded by an intelligent-looking and
fashionable assemblage, the ladies being well
represented. Shortly after ten o'clock the
procession of bishops - entered the church,
led by Rev. Dr. Balch, secretary of the
House of Bishops, 11ev. Dr. Hobart, register
-of the convention, the venerable Archdea
con Leach, of Montreal, and Rev. Dr. R.
H. Clarkson. The bishops followed in dou
ble ranks, in reversed order of seniority,
the procession winding up with the Lord
Bishop of Montreal and - Bishop Hopkins, the
presiding officer of the House of Bishops,
The procession entered the chancel, where
the Bishops seated themselves, when the an
-them,"The Lord is in His holy temple," was
sung by the choir, and the service was com
menced by Archdeacon Leach, who read the
Confession,
Lord's Prayer, etc. After the
Venito," the Psalter was read by Rev. Dr.
Hobart. The "Gloria in Exceisis" was then
sung, and the 'first Lesson was read by Dr.
Balch. Jackson's fine To Boum followed, a
portion of the congregation joining in the
strains. The second Lesson and the Creed
were read by Dr. Balch, the " Jubilate," by
the choir, intervening. The Prayers and Li
tany were read by Rev. Dr. Clarkson. The 61st
Psalm was then given out by Bishop Stevens,
and the ante-communion service followed.
The collect and commandments were read
by Bishop Mellvaine, of Ohio ; the collect for
ale day and the epistle were read by Bishop
•McCoskey, of Michigan. The Gospel for the
-day was read by the Lord Bishop of Montreal,
after which the twenty-seventh hymn was
S The
Right Rev. Francis Pulford, D. D., Lord
Bishop _of Montreal, delivered the sermon.
- Taking fOr his text I Coy. ix fia—"/ ant made all
things to all men., that I might he all means save
- some"—his Lordship spoke as follows
As objects, which we gaze at with our bodily eye,
increase or diminish in apparent magnitude In pro
portion to their distance from us. se It is with many
Vrthe events that happen to us in the course of our
lives, or that are connected with the history of the
world. But whatever may be their comparative
importance, there can be no question that the inert
-dian time of this nineteenth century is teeming
with incidents and abounding with speculations
that must arrest tile attention of all those who take
a thoughtful interest in the prospects of the human
race, -whether for time or for eternity. Moreover,
in consequence Of the general and rapid Intercourse
now maintained by different nations, a movement
in any one quarter of the world is felt throughout
-all. and a thought clothed in words passes. for good
or for evil, throughout all, This is specially true
in all matters connected with the speculationa of
the intellect, with science and philosophy. But
while seeing the agencies now in operation, their
force and magnitude, have we no reason to dread
the fatal effects they are producing. when we look
out upOil this creation, as Made for the habitation ,
of creatures, who are here only' a. strangers and
sojourners, but are all rapidly, one after another,
passing away to give account to that Lord who
placed them here to oeeuny for Him ?
In addressing such an assemblage as the one ga
thered here this day, and oti midi an OeCitelen as the
present. I am warranted in assuming that, while ad
mittiny. the evils that Oast, while we acknowledge
what hag been aptly termed the p
roresent abnormal
state of the world, so different fm its c
when it first passed from the Creator's halide. and
"Be saw everything that He had made, and behold
it was very good;' , yet we have been taught that
-there is now a mighty power at work for eounter
- acting the evil. We - have been taught and believe
that there " a balm in Gilead "—that there is .• a
physician" there; and , more titan MIS, that We, as
ministers, stewards, ambassadors of Him who has
provided the balm, and is Himself the Great Phy
sician, are put in trust with the publication
of the means of cure, and the dispensation of
time good things, whereby the health of the daugh
ter of is people is to be recovered. This applies
to us, In a measure, as individuals, but still more
when meeting in any of the great councils of the
• Church of Christ; Inasmuch as we are then wielding
a Mightier power, and one extending Its influences
for weal or for woe through the whole economy of
OUT system, and so operating smolt the state and
Condition of all around us. It is idle to waste time
In discussing the question why sin was ever per
mitted to enter into she world, and death by sin;
Or why the remedy was not made universal. abso
lute, and certain. The enemy is here; and we have
witnessed and heard with our ears, and our fathers
have told us, how effectual the remedy provided for
us has been, how precious the balm, how all-power
ifel the Physician, when his aid is sought. It is our
Ibileilless now to Consider whether we can in any
way well make its precepts more universal, and
bring borne the message we hive to deliver to the
ears, to the heart, and to the conscience of the
multitudes of perishing sinners that are crowding
the highways and the byways of this busy, thought
less world.
The meat successful example that we have Olt re
cord of any one put in trust with the dispensation
" TrIE
PERFECTION
of the G ospc 6 was certainly the great Apostle 01
the Gentiles whose, words I have chosen for my
text: "1 sin made all things to all men, that I
might by all means save some. " There was much
in the early life and training of this great man, that
pecultarty fitted him for the work to which he was
called. We must, however, receive this statement
with itsjustlimitations; In being "mace all things to
all /111,11," he never intended to compromise any of
lie great articles of "the faith," or to ignore hid po
tion and calling as an apostle and minister of
Christ. Leta" man so account of us," he says,
`` as of the ininisters of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God," while in his bold opposition to
St. Peter he maintained the simplicity and purity of
the faith as it is in Jesus. But these points being
upheld in their integrity, he then sought to make
himself " servant unto all, that lie might gain the
more," and " was made all things to all men, that
he might by all means save some."
In a well-known volume on the life of Bt. Paul,
there are some excellent remarks respecting his
singular fitness for the work to which lie was sent,
We cannot help noticing those circumstance of
inward and outward preparation, which fitted him.
for his peculiar position of standing between the
Jews and dent - Iles. He was slot a Saildueee: he had
never Hellentzed. He had been educated at Jeru
salem: everything conspired to give hint authority
when lie addressed his countrymen as a Hebrew of
the Hebrews: At the same time, in his apostolical
relations to the Church, he wits quite disconnected
with the other Apostles; lie had come in silence to
a conviction of the truth at a distance from the
Judaizing Christians, and had early overcome those
prejudices which impeded so many, in their ap
proaches to the heathen. Be bad Just been long
, enough at Jerusalem to lie recognized and wel
comed by the Apostolic College, but not long enough
even to be known by face " unto the churches in Ju
dea.' He had been withdrawn into Silicia till the
baptism of tile Gentiles, and the Providence of God
had direesed all the steps of his life to this one result.
We are called on to notice the singular fitness of
the last employment in which we have seen him en
gaged, for assuaging the suspicious feeling which
separated the two great branches of the Church of
Christ. In muting for a time his Gentile converts
at Antioch, and carrying a contribution of money
tO the Jewish. Christians at Jerusalem, he was by
no means leaving the higher work for the lower; be
was building for after times. The interchange of
mutual benevolence was a safe foundation for
future confidence. Temporal comfort was given in
gratitude for spiritual good received. The Church's
nrst days were christened with charity. ,
We have none amongst us in these days that in
their individual characters can for an 'natant be
Imagined as lit to be likened to the great Apostle.
But what the Apostle was in his individual capacity
the collective hod of the church eertalulji should
be iu Its corpdeate. y
eltaracter, and while maintain
ing her principles, should, in all her agencies and
means of influence so adapt her organization as to
he "all things to all men.'
It is a sign of liroper life in a Church, - when site
can see facts., catch the realities of her position and
deal with them. She is not a mere relic of by-gone
times, resting on the past. She has gifts and - pow
ers within her, and must be ever stirring them up.
Should she neglect doing thus, through adherence
to mere routine or customary modes of speaking, •
then may we well feel alarm: Surely, we must all
be forcer 10 Set that there is something to be done—
times are changed and changing; the ground is
shaken; the world threatens, and requires energy;
heresy undermines and demands zeal and watchful
ness; and we look to her as our mother-guide to
gather together her wise men and councillors, that I
they may, under the direction of the Spirit of God, I
be able to provide for the present emergencies. I
Nor is tills a too highly strained view of the Church,
if the be indeed the body of Christ, a city set on a
hill, the ground and pillar of the truth, If the pro
mises of Godrest upon her, and if the powers of
hell shall never prevail against her. But if God has I
provided such an agency for the communication of
the true knowledge of Himself, for, the publication
of the Gospel, for the maintenance of the faith and
the outpouring of good gifts to men through the ad
ministration of the ministry, with which He has
endowed His Church, it is our business, within the
spheres in which we are severally called upon to
act, to see that this great work he not hindered or
negligently done. This is our duty as Individuals,
it is specially the duty of the great councils of the
Church to take oversight and provide for this.
In these days there is great activity of the intel
lect; philosophy and science are busy, and the minds
Of men are excited and inquiring. On this subject
I will quote a few remarks of modern writer; he
says: "Ours are times of stirring interest, perhaps
more universally so than any period since that
which immediately preceded the first advent of
our Lord. In every department of science and phi
losophy, in politics and national relations, in the
organisations Of society, and in theoretical reli
gion, there is a movement and an increasing aglta
tion—an agitation, not like the every-day ebbing
and flowing of the waters, but like the uneasy
heaving, which warns the fisherman that lie must
baste to Ills anchorage, for the spirit of the storm
is arousing from his eep in the under caverns.
Strange notions are afloat of right and wrong.
Doctrines are taught which, In the dark ages, men
would have blushed to set their names to. What
soever thing is new in the place and time accords
with the public taste and isheld in public approval.
The people of this ape are fed upon a strange com
pound of deep research and shallow reasoning, and
it is not the many but the very few that know how
to refuse the evil and choose the good. There is a
doubt and an uncertainly anti a wavering in men's
minds. They ask and they are informed, and then
they question the veracity of their instructors.
They work and are not satisfied wills their labor—
they are idle and do not rest."
Aft industrious instability, an energetic feeble
ness of purpose, it is thus seen, is the historical
character preparing for the meridian time of tile
nineteenth century. Yet all these are but so many
tebtiniOnies that truth, disturbing oversettlng, er
ror-exterminating truth, he busy with the mind of
the million. And with all this variance and change,
and passing togand fro, the earths is growing old.
Nature has developed the mightiness of her power;
Art has efillibited her endless combinations of won
der. The multitude has gated and departed; the
learned have studied and laid aside their books.
Human intellect has measured the height of the
high heaven and sounded the depths of the deep
sea: man's research has brought for the people the
tale of the past, and they know it all, andare weary
with its repeaters: and they have asked a prophecy
of the future, and intellect and research avefal
tered and failed: and the people are restless about
the future; and they ask every man his brother the
interpretation of his dream. Six thousand years
are nearly fulfilled since God created man; the Sa
turday evening of the world is coming nearer and
nearer, and the whipper, and the murmur, and the
cry is spreading: "What shall be on the morrow?"
if there be any reality in such a picture, what is
the present duty of the church of the living God? Is
it to shrink - from the contest with any or all the
powers of this world? Is it to seek for security ill
Ignorance, or to endeavor to repress the active en
ergy of some of the richest gifts of God to man?
She cannot if she would—she ought not if she could.
Is it not rather her office,
Still to lead the ages great expansions,
Progressive circles towards thoughts'Sabbatii rest,
And point beyond them to the `many mansions.'
Where Christ is with the blest ?"
And whether it be in collision with the young or the
old. the highly educated or the ignorant, the man of
',tininess or of leisure, the rich or the poor, the wil
ling disciple or in the owns or infamy and vise, the
church ought to try and have her - machinery pre
pared for tarrying on the work of sanctifying every
state and condition in life—" bringing out of her
treasury things new and old"—fresh schemes, fresh
adaptations, united agencies, but in all with a fixed
conservatism of the same great principles of faith
and obedience to the general laws and ministry of
the Catholic Church. ,„
Looking at any individual agents, "we have this
treasure in earthen vessels," and hence we are
taught to disclaim the merit, if any good results
arise from any work to which we may have bee*
sent; while If any failure takes place, It is not
through any inefficiency of the powers offered. hut
irons the neglect or unfaithfulness of those who have
been entrusted withthem.
Ti.ese are grave considerations for all of us; and
we all know how great an element of strength there
la in unity of action and well• defined discipline, es
eeially where large numbers are concerned. ' We
have all felt and acknowledged the sad effects pro
duced by the divisions in the Church forced upon us
by the corruptions and pretensions of the Church of
Home; we are conscious of the anxious longing in
so palsy hearts for some guiding light which might
teach sit now to gather up again the scattered frag
ments of the great human family, and bring them
into close relation with each other and with God, as
the living body of Christ. And when we can do any
thing to further this good work, without compro
mise of ally of the principles of the Christian
Cboreh, how much are we bound to be made all
things to alt men. All may do something to help by
timid prayers, by the consistency of their own lives,
by the largeness of their charity, and so from indi
victuals to parishes, from parishes to dioceses, from
dioceses to provinces and national churches, the
work may grow and extend until we can once snore
see something appreffielling to the great ;ecumenical
councils of primitive times, witnessing for God and
eternity,and the purity and simplicity of the Catho
lic faith, intim midst of the strife and gainsaying& of
this evil world.
We IlaVe Bad held our third Provincial Synod of
the Canadian Church , at whieit all the dioceses were
fully represented. We have had many and serious
difficulties to contend with, arising out of our past
and present position. There were grave differ
°flees of opinion on sense most important points,
and much evil rah ht have arisen, and was itntlete
paled by some. But, thanke be to God, through
the gracious influence of his goods pirit, as we be
lieve. operating upon the hearts of His servants
and the moderadon and Christian temper evinced,
we were enabled to pass through the trial in the
happiest manner, and have now our Internal gene
ral organization established, as we trust, with the
good will of the Church of the whole province.
You, my brethren have allgone through a far sterner
and different discipline during the last few 'years.
The wounds and troubles caused by it, to the na
tion and to yourselves, it is now your office as
Christians and churchmen, as far as your ludas:nod
will extend, to soothe and to settle.
• A stranger as I must be to those intenser emo
tions with which you have all been affected, I yet
elaim to liaTe the deepest interest in all that con
cerns your braileti of I ie Church of Christ, And I
claim tills not merely as administering a diocese
immediately bordering on your own, not merely as
enjoying, with all my brethren, a communion with
yon in One COMMII faith andministry, but on !
grounds special to myself, and which, I think, over
and above any other reason, and as it were actually
identifying me with yourselves, justify my being
permitted the unusual privilege of occupying my
present place on this most important occasion.
And it is this—that nearly three quarters of a cen
tury after you had originally received your Episco
pate from our Mother Church of England, I was the
first bishop of the Anglican Church that ever Joined
with your own bishops in laying hands on any pres
byter about to he raised to the Episcopal office
among you, which I did in the ease of the late la
mented Bishop Wainwright, on which occasion I
received a letter from one or your bishops, present
here this day, saying: "I esteem 'it no ordinary
privilege to have been a participator in the first ac
tion by which the daughter and mother churches
have resnosculated their succession; and that our
- Episcopacy receives a fresh communication of the
Apostolic grave (yam the present channel,"
On this, on every ground, then, I feel the deepest
interest in all that can promote the peace and the
strength of_ your communion. Your lot is cast in a
nation of 'immense resources and influence; you.
yourselves occupy in that nation a very foremost
position. Whatever you do will be felt far and wide.
My earnest prayer is that you may go forth again
with your well-ordered company of God's sacra
mental host, in all its fffil entirety„ to labor as His
witness 'before men, to leaven the masses with
principles of Christian truth and love, to be "made
all things to all /bell, that you may li f y an means cave
seine." And beyond the tiordere o even your own
great nation, you may be a powerful connecting
link with the Old Worfil, and by your itsfluellek and
character do much to remove prejudices, soften
heart-burnings and promote that peace and good
will which we all must long to see flourish and
abound. But if such results are ever to be accom
plished—if ever the work of evangelizing the world
is ever really to make way,it must be by largely ex
hibiting that spirit of Christian love which aniinated
the great Apostle, and which he has himself so fully
described In Ills Epistle to the Corinthians—ii spirit
which "suffered long, and is kind: Is not easily pro
vokssd, thirtieth no cyll,beareth all things, beileveth
all things, hopeth all things, endureth alt things. ,
Yea, power may force submission—but love, love
alone will win the heart, and ensure the continu
ance of amity and peace. " Peace I leave with
yell," says Christ. " my peace I give unto roe; not
as the world giveth gives unto you," And if this
peace be disturbed we know it Is through the pas
sions and infirmities of poor humanity, and the
venerable and good Hooker exclaimed on his dying
bed, "I have lived to see that the world is full of
perturbations," and lie longed for the peace and
rest of those that depart ID nee in the Lord, and we
who are stilled called to our work in It must all too
sadly re-echo his words • But, "0, Lord, thou wilt
keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on
Thee, because he trustcth In Thee." And, oh, if at
peace with God, and in our own conscience, then
may we hope to "be at peace among. ourselves."
And these indeed, are days when they that really
fear the Lord have need to speak often one to
another, and to endeavor to preserve the unity of
the Spirit, In the bond of peace. And, though we
may never see it 11l this life, yet all may be assured
that a day is coining, when "ti ?Ong Anil reig n IF
righteousness: alld the work of righteGuand§g died
be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness
and assurance forever."
After the Sermon the solemn and impressive
services were proceeded With, the COMMunion
service being commenced by Bishey Bastburn,
of Massachusetts, who read the 0 ertory sen
tences and prayer for the church militant.
The next sentences, I , Hear What CAinfortable
words," &c., were read by Bishop Burgess, of
Maine. The elements were consecrated by the
senior bishop.
Bishop Kemper, of Wisconsin, recited the
exhortation at the celebration of the commu
nion; and the senior Bishop having received
the communion in both kinds himself, pro
ceeded to deliver the same to the bishops pre
sent in like manner, and after to the clergy,
and then to the laymen who wished to par
take. The postcommunion Service Was read
by Bishop Potter, of New York, the " Gloria in
Excelsiso being sung in grand style by the
choir and congregation. The benediction., in
the following words, was then pronounced by
- Bishop Hopkins !
" The peace of God, which passeth all under
standing, keep your hearts and minds in the
knowledge and love of God and of his SOLI,
JeSral Christ, Our Lord ; the blessing of God
Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the holy
Ghost, be amongst you and remain with you
always."

The religious services having concluded,
Rev. George M. Randall, D. D., of Roston, who
was secretary of the last house, called the
body to order in the following language
"This being the time and nlmee for the trier'
MECLIAN/'B/YL. -
ilia Meeting of the General Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Chureh of the United
States of America, the members of the House
of Clerical and Lay Deputies will now please
come to order. • I shall call the dioceses, and
as they are called I would thank the deputies
to send to the secretary's table the testimoni
als of their election."
The dioceses were then called in alphabeti
cal order, beginning with the diocese of Ala
bama and ending with Western New York,
when the deputies present severally present
ed their credentials. The roll was then Called
and, upon its completion, the secretary an
nounced that there being a constitutional ma
jority present from a majority of the dioceses,
the appointment or election of a president was
in order and nominations for that oftice might
be made.
• •• •
H on. Ezekiel F. Chambers, LL. D., of Mary
land, then nominated Rev. Dr. James Craik, of
the Diocese of Kentucky, who was president
of the Rouse of peputies in 1862.
Judge OHQ, Onllinois, nominated the Rev.
Dr. Geo. M. Randall, of the Diocese of Massa.
chu sett s.
Rev. Dr. M. A. De Wolf Howe, of Pennsylva
nia, was also nominated.
Rev. Dr. Mead, of Connecticut, in behalf of
the deputation from his State, called for the
vote to be taken by dioceses and orders.
The vote was accordingly so ordered to be
taken.
.
Dr. Randall. In voting by dioceses and by
orders, each diocese is entitled to one clerieal
and one lay vote, the two votes being taken
separately and by different tellers. The dele
gates will doubtless see the propriety of gut
ting together and empowering one of their
number to Cast the vote of the diocese. In or
der to an election, there must be a eoneur
rence of both orders.
Dr. Randall, being a candidate, then retired
from his position at the secretary's desk, and
his place was temporarily supplied by Rev. Dr.
Clarkson, of Chicago first assistant secretary.
Rev. Dr. Keene, of Milwaukee Wis., and Mr.
H. P. Baldwin, of Detroit, Michigan, were ap
pointed as tellers to receive the clerical vote.
Rev. Alex. Burgess, of Maine, and Judge
Chambers, of Maryland, were appointed as
tellers for the lay vote.
The list of dioceses was then called, and as
the names were severally announced, the
alepieal deputy of the diocese so called, who
had been appointed for the purpose, °arab for..
ward and deposited - the vote of the diocese.
The lay vote was taken in the same manner.
After some time, the tellers for the clerical
vote, (Messrs. Keene and Baldwin,) reported
that 24 votes had been east, of which 13 were
necessary to a choice, and that Rev. Dr. Craik
had received 15, Rev. Dr. Randall 5, and Rev.
Dr. Howe 4 votes. The tellers for the lay vote,
(Messrs. Burgess and Chambers,) made a simi
lar report, to the effect that twenty-three
dioceses had voted, of which number Rev. Dr.
Craik had received the votes of 13, the remain
ing votes being divided between the other two
candidates.
Dr. Craik having been declared duly elected
president was conducted to the chair by Rev.
Dr. Shelton, of Western New York, and Judge
Otis, of Illinois.
Rev. Dr. Meadmoved that the House proceed
to elect a secretary.
The motion was carried, and nominations be
ing in order, Rev. Dr. George 111. Randall was
nominated and Unanimously elected by accla
mation.
Rev. Robert H. Clarkson, D. D., of Chicago,
was appointed first assistant secretary, and
Rev. Wm. Stevens Perry, of Connecticut, se
cond assistant secretary.
On motion of Rev. Dr. Head, the chair ap
pointed Rev. Dr. Chester and Hon. Horatio Sey
mour a committee to wait upon the House of
Bishops and inform them that this House was
Organized arid ready to proceed to business.
On motion of Rev. Dr. Head, it was ordered
that the rules of order of the last Rouse of
Clerical and Lay Deputies be adopted as the
rules of the present House until others are
provided. Also, that the president appoint
the following standing committees :
The Standing Committee on the state of the
Church, to consist of one member from each
district; on the General Theological Semi
nary ; on the Domestic and Foreign Mission
ary Society ; on the Admission of New Dice
ceses ; on the Consecration of Bishops' on
Canons; on Expenses ; on Unfinished Busi
ness; on Elections, and on the Prayer-Book,
each to consist of nine members—the usual
number.
• .
A message was received from the House of
Bishops informing the house of Clerical and
Lay Deputies of the organization of the former
body and the unanimous election of Rev. Dr.
Balch as Secretary.
On motion of Rev. Dr. Mead, it was ordered
that the clergymen of the Protestant Episco
pal church and elergymen of the United
church of ngland and Ireland, and of the
British Colonies; also of the Episcopal church
of Scotland, who may be sojoittning in this
City, members of the Board of Missions and of
the Protestant Episcopal church, trustees,

logical Seminary, other students of theology
Winp are candidates for holy orders in this

cal and. Lay Deputies, members of the vestry
of St. Andrew's church, in the city of Phila
delphia, in which church this convention will
hold its present session be admitted to the
sittings of this neuSe, carried.
Rev. Chas. Breck, of Delaware, offered a re•
solution, as follows
Resolved, That the reporters of the publiclress
be incited to occupy the places on the floor o this /
house provided for them by the committee of ar
rangements.-
He stated that he offered the resolution not
only as an act of courtesy, but as a recogni
tion on the part of the convention of the valu
able and useful services of those gentlemen.
But, in view of the fact that the press eon-.
stantly made mistakes with regard to matters
connected with the Protestant Episcopal
Church, he urged upon those who were con-.
with publications to exercise a greater
degree of care in their reports.
Mr. Welsh, of Pennsylvania, stated that
steps had been taken by the Pennsylvania de
putation to secure an accurate report of the
proceedings of the body.
After some further desultory debate, the re
solution was adopted. '
The committee appointed to wait upon and
inform the House of Bishops of the organize,.
tion of the House of the Clerical and Lay Depu
ties, reported having discharged that duty.
On motion of Dr. Clarkson, it was ordered
that this House does hereby extend its grate
fal acknowledgment to the Lord Bishop of
Montreal, for his most apipropriate and elo
quent sermon, delivered before the body; and
that the Lord Bishop be requested to attend
at his pleasure the sittings of this House ; and
that a seat be provided for him at the right
hand of the president; and that the secretary
be directed to send him a copy of .these reso
lutions.
On motion, the secretary was desired to re
quest from the Lord Bishop of Montreal a
copy of the sermon delivered by him this day,
and that 1,500 copies thereof be printed for
the use of the house.
On motion of Rev. Dr. Mead, it was deter
mined that when this house adjourned it
Would adjourn tomeet lit St. Andrew's Church,
in this city, for prayers, at 10 o'clock this
morning, and that the session be opened at
the same house.
The convention adjourned to meet this
morning, at St. Andrew's Church, at 10 o'clock.
During the session we observed. that Bishop
Atkinson, of North Carolina, remained seated
in the body of the church, and that when the
communion was about to be celebrated, at the
request of the secretary of the House of
Bishops, he partook at the Lord's Table. We
have been informed that several of-the South
ern Bishops, with their delegations, will take
their seats in a day or two, several clerical and
lay deputies from the South being at present
participants in the doings of the convention.

THE PROSPERITY OF A 01IIIRCH.—Among
the letters submitted to the Philadelphia Bap
tist Association, now in session, are several
which show most gratifying evidences of vi
tality and progress in that denomination of
Christians. For instance, the letter from the
Berean Baptist Church, or West Philadelphia,
shows a prosperity that is quite unexampled
in the history of local church organizatioUS.
Six years ago the Berean commenced, with
but seven members ; its present membership
is nearly two hundred, with a Sunday-school
numbering nearly four hundred scholars.
Moreover, as we are informed, the charch is
entirely out of debt, and has attached to it a
parsonage which cost over fifty thousand dol
lars; but, thanks to private generosity, it has
never been an incumbrance on the congrega
tion. The 'Berean is at once a beautiful and
comfortable church, having few rivals in point
of architectural completeness in 'any part of
the city. Much of its prosperity is doubtless
due to the untiring exertions of the pastor,
Rev. James Cooper, whose labors, it is gratify
ing to say, are appreciated by his congregar.
tion, and ably seconded by a number ofte
most public-spirited citizens of the western
suburb.
METEOROLOGICAL RECORD FOR BEFTEX-
Bus..—We have received from Prof. James A.
Eirkpatrick, at the Central High School, the
weather report for the month of September,
from which it appears that the greatest tem
perature during the month was 89 degrees,
which occurred on the 4th and 6th of Septem
ber ; the lowest ,was 49 degrees, on the 19th;
the mean temperature for the month was 74
degrees. The greatest height attained by the
thermometer was 30.225 inches, on the 28th;
the lowest was 29.583 inches, on the 6th. The
mean height for the month was 29.924 inches.
Number of clear days, 8; cloudy days, 22;
amount of rain, 6.576 inches; number of days
on which rain fell, 10.
The month just over was the Weirmest Sop'
tember for many years. The nearest approach
to it was September, 1855, of which the mean
temperature was but 70.2 degreeS. On the 4th
of the last month about two inches of rain fell
in one hodr, between 3 and 4P. H. This is the
greatest quantity of rain ever noticed for the
same length of time in this latitude.
A Fix FOR A YOUNG GENTLEMAN.—A

called to him by one of his purehaeee raising
a loud and continued cackle. In vain he tried
to quiet the bird ; the ladies " tittered 9 and
pulled down their veils; the gentlemen on
