It would nullify all that wc Imc been lighting for. "If we believe war is the great est work for righteousness then it is the greatest opportunity that "od has ever given us. "Liberty, justice, righteousness and peace ore at stake in this war. "Tho spiiitual future of the world is hanging in the balance. "Wc must have confidence in our own causs." I Tho full text of nishor. ltlilncla.ul er's address Is printed on pace o. Several features dominated the an nual ..convention of the Hplsropal Church .of the Diocese of Pcmmilv.i- nta when It opened todjv nt rj e t Church of St. Luke and Hplplimi, Thirteenth street below Spruce. One was .1 warning ugalnht the Rieit danRer of premature peace, liy lllshop Philip 31. Khlnelandci. in his nniiual ttddi ess. Another was a criticism of cltv gov ernments for laMty In enforcing laws against gambling and dt Inking to pio tect enlisted men of the armed forces.

Wartime Prohibition Another Important action, late this afternoon, was the Introduction of a resolution demanding wartlmo prohi bition. .And Francis-O. Lewis, city fuel ad ministrator, suggested that churches consolidate services neNt winter to conserve coal. A premature peace. Bishop Rhine lander said In his address, would se cure to the Germans the chief alms for which they mado war at tho be ginning. With much emphasis the Bishop de clared that premature peace would "leave the whole world without secur ity for the future and nullify all our sacrifices." He said that to give up now would "not be merely yielding our bodies, but also selling our souls and our spir itual birthright to tho evil one." World's Future In Balance "We are fighting for the greatest things that men could be tlglitlnir for," he asserted. "The spiritual future" of the world hangs In the balance." "ff we believe the war is the great est work for righteousness," the Bishop went on, "then It Is the great est opportunity Christ lias ever given us We must have confidence In our cause." The pi elate Teminded his hearers that "liberty, Justice, truth, righteous ness and brotherhood are all at stake in the great crisis." He urged those who remain at home to help in all ways possible by buying liberty Bonds, helping with war gar dens and aiding the Red Cross and all other movements which will support those at the front. "We have not been guiltless of the Ins of Germany," the Bishop said. "We have traveled along the same road; but thank God, we stopped In time!" Indonei Cathedral Project The Rev. C. 1 Fulforth was elected secretary of the convention at the busi ness cession following the communion service this morning. Bishop Rhlnelander also spoke at the business session, strongly Indorsing the proposed erection of a cathedral on the Parkway. He, said the building might come In .due time as a thank offering for victory crowned by a permanent and righteous peace. He said reports on missionary work, diocesan war work and theological edu cation would be among the subjects to receive the special attention of the convention-Bishop Suffragan Garland spoke on the work among the foreigners, and other constructive work done by the Episcopal Church during the last year. The leport of the 'social service com mittee, of which the Rev. Clinton Rogers Woodruff is chairman, declared evils said to exist in army camps are ' more prevalent in civil life. "Ail of the evils alleged to exist In '.the camps are more prevalent In civil fllfe," the report stated, "it is here Utat habits are learned and acaulred.
