OPENING OF
DIOCESAN
CONVENTION
' (Concluded from I'agc 1.1
Philippines, he said: "As a nation and
ns a church wo owe duties of love
and ministration and the blessings of
a Christian civilization, of which we
arc stewards, to the millions of neg
lected souls thus placVd at our very
doors." The bishop next gave a re
sume of the Improvements In the dio
cese during the past year In the mat
ter of new church buildings.
He announced that he has now ap
pointed as arch-deacon to assist him
in his work as a general missionary
the Itev. lleglnald Hober Rudcllffe.who
has been for live yours the effclent
arch-deacon of Colorado. During the
year nine clergymen have been re
ceived Into the diocese from other dio
ceses and three have been admitted by
ordination. There are now two par
ishes vacant, one at Lancaster and
one at Bethlehem.
After referring to the excellent work
done by the board of missions during
the year, ho spoke as follows regard
ing the advantages of the Woman's
auxiliary:
"Any account of our year's work
I would bo Incomplete which failed to
recognize the large share In the real
life and progress of the church borne
by the Woman's auxiliary. I am glad
k to know that several new and vigor
ous branches have been started re
cently, while others for a long tlmo
dormant have been revived. As the
bishop of this diocese I do not see how
I could successfully cope with -the
anxious problems which confront us
without the aid of these noble women.
. "They embody In each parish the
missionary Idea, which Is none other
than the essential Christian Idea. Any
clergyman In this age of the world's
progress who falls to see that the
spiritual life of his parish and Its suc
cess In all directions arc bound up In
its missionary interest Is tcv be pitied.
If our people are alive to the
needs ot general and diocesan mis
sions they are sure to be Intel ested In
all that concerns the best life of the
parish. There is no agency at pres
ent so effective and helpful in stimu
lating and fostering this under vision
of knowledge and duty as a well or
ganized branch of the Woman's auxil
iary. "All of the highly successful parishes
realize this, and more and more I can
sec evidence that all are beginning to
comprehend the fact that the diocese,
and not the parish, Is the true measure
, and unit, and that a parochialism or
Congregationalism which Ignores the
corpo-ato life of the whole church has
within It the seeds of decay and
death."
CAUSE OP MISSIONS.
He suggested that the second even
ing ot the convention, that Is tonight,
be given over to the causo of missions,
so that the women, who have their
business meeting on the next day,
might be present. Ho stated that ho
felt the need of an organization in the
form of a church club, the members of
which could meet once n year and con
sider diocesan Interests In general.
Regarding the proposed division of the
diocese, he said:
'I now pass to the matter of the di
vision of the diocese. There would ap
pear to be no necessity on my part to
repeat what I have said at our last
two conventions on tho same subject.
My convictions are the same, namely,
that the question, as I view It, is large
ly one ot finances. I presume It is ad
mitted bv all that the division of tho
diocese, or some other form of relief,
must bo accomplished before many
years. The only difference of opinion
would be as to whether such action Is
now expedient, and In this connection
even those who would not desire an
immediate division, or consider that
the time has not yet arrived, would be
strongly in favor of placing ourselvr
In such financial condition as to malic
it possible when the time comes.
"We have an episcopal fund of about
$41,500, yielding an income of $2,350.
Our Christmas fund Is about $6,000.
Through the efforts of the Women's
auxiliary we have tho Bishop Rullson
Memorial fund of about $5,000. The
division of the diocese would mean the
division of all these funds, and would
leave the old and new dioceses with
Insufficient support for their bishops
and their work. There would, there
fore, be a necessity for raising a large
sum of money.
"Surely $100,000 ought to bo regard
ed as the minimum, especially as tho
rates of Interest are so low and two
per cent, government bonds are sell
ing at a premium, and we can hardly
hope to realize more than five per
cent., If that. On this basis, each dlo
ceso 'vould only have $2,500 as an in
come from endowment.
Last year by the action of tho conven-
tlon a large and thoroughly represen
tatlve committee was appointed to re
port Mnes of division. The report is
before you and Is all that could be
desired. Indeed It has placed the dio
cese and the convention under most
grateful obligations for tho ndmlrable
manner in which It has discharged its
duty.
"Through its able and industrious
chairman an enormous amount of
work has been done and much val
uablo lnfoimallon given and data pre
sented have been placed before us
In a form at once so attractive and
intelligible that It leaves nothing to
be desired. Moreover, the commltt e
has confined Itself strictly to the spirit
and letter of the resolution under
which It was appointed, and has re
frained from expressing any prefer
ence whatever for any one or more
of tho proposed lines. Thus the whole
subject is before the convention, to be
dealt with as It may seem to you
wisest and best.
BISHOP'S SUGGESTIONS.
"Aa I have always said, the most
satisfactory evidence of our real da.
sire and sincerity in this matter Is
not so much what we suy as what we
are willing ,to do, in order to accom
plish what all admit will be, before
many yeirs, a necessity. Whether di
vision of tho diocese shall come now
or in Inter years, it seems to me that
we ought, at this convention, to pass
on tho question whether division be
at this time expedient, and above ull
rpsolve that hereafter, In each parish
and mission, action be tuken and con
tinued, for the Increase of the endow
ment of the Episcopal fund. Thus will
all assessments bj lightened and prep
aration bo mtde for such method of
Episcopal relief as tho diocese may
think desirable.
''I commend to the clergy and their
flocks the great Importance of remem
bering with generous offerings tho
Christmas fund for our aged and In
firm clergy und their families. Tho re
sponse Is not as general or as generous
as it should be.
"My counsel has been asked several
times by tho clergy In vexed question
of matrlage and divorce. I havo not
hesitated In nil such cases to advise
that tney refuse to perform tho ser
vice of tho church for people who ar
dlvorced, except tho decree of the court
setting forth tho only causo recognized
by our present canon be In evidence
duly authenticated. As this very rate
ly happens, my counsel, If followed,
will amount to practical prohibition,
as It Bhould be.
"The clergy will be on tho safo sldft
In passing on all such applications and
refusing to give the church's sanction
to them, until such legislation is se
cured by tho general church ns safe
guards the question. Tho sooner this
church can be recognized everywhere
nmong tho people ns standing for the
sacredncss and Indlssolulbllty of the
marriage tie, and the purity of the
home, tho bettor for all concerned.
"It Is not lmprobuble that at tho next
general convention some improvement
in our present canon may bo effected.

RT. REV. ETHELBERT TALBOT, D. D., LL. D.
Bishop of the Kplscopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania,
failures are duo to clergymen, blshop3
and standing committees, who pass on
Into the ministry men who could suc
ceed In no other business or profession.
Just because a young man feels he
would like to be u clergyman Is not a
sufficient reason that his pastor or
bishop should encourage him. He
should possess extraordinary gifts of
head and body, as well as heart. Often
the best service a rector or bishop can
do the church and young man apply
ing is to kindly but firmly tell him
that the ministry Is not for him. I nin
sure we havo a good, conscientious
and God-fearing board of examining
chaplains, but I should be glad If a
larger per cent, of those who tried to
pass their examinations failed and was
compelled to try again. I speak some
what plainly on this subject for tho
reason that I have recently had some
rather painful experiences In this mat
ter and have been compelled to drop
men after they had been for some time
pursuing their studies."
He made a passing reference to the
recent turmoil In the church In Eng
land, and after contrasting it with the
condition of affairs In America, said:
"I thank God that heto in Central
Pennsylvania the spirit of a large and
generous toleration dwells among us,
begetting mutual confidence and trust
and emphasizing only those things
which enter fundamentally Into the
first principles of tho doctrines of
Christ.
"No diocese could possibly be freer
from all partisan Jealousies, Just be
cause we recognize for others the lib
erty, under well denned law, which we
claim for ourselves."
DIVISION OF DIOCESE.
Tho most important question to be
discussed Is the proposed division of
the diocese, by which Scranton, In all
probability, would be made an Episco
pal see. The division has been agitated
for a number of years, and at the last
convention, held in Wilkes-Barre, a
committee was appointed to report a
line ot division. The committee has
mapped out several feasible lines anJ
will submit them at this morning's ses
sion. This matter has been made tho
j order of business for 10 o'clock a. m
Sentiment is strong botn ways on the
division question, and some Interesting
debate is looked for.
Most ot the delegates are being en
tertained at the homes of the parish
loners of the local Episcopal churches.
Bishop Talbot und Jlrs. Talbot are
gtiestB at the residence of Hon. and
Mrs. K. N. Wlllard. Tho Country club,
through Major J. W. Oakford, and tho
Scranton club, through T. K. Jones,
chaltman of the house committee, has
extended Its privileges to nil the dele
gates during their stay In Scranton.
At 7.30 last night the delegates as
sembled In the parish house, and form
ing a piocesslon, moved out to tho
church and through the main entrance,
and down the middle nlsle to the altar.
The boys' suipllced choir, singing the
processional hvmn, to organ uccom
nunlment by J. Willis Conant, came
first. Then, In tho order named, canu
Saint Luke's vestrymen, the lay dele
gates, tho lay members of the board of
missions, the lay deputies to tho gen
eral convention, the lay members of
the standing committee, the masters of
ceremonies, the deacons, tho clergy ac
cording to priority of ordlnatton.Juniors
first; the clerical deputies to the gen
eial convention, the four nrchdeacons,
the clerical members of the standing
committee, the bishop's chaplain bear
ing tho crozler and the bishop In full
vestments. The clergy wore cossack,
surplice and stole.
The lavmen entered tho side pews
and remained standing, while thu
clergy, halting in the center aisle,
opened ranks, allowing tho bishop to
pass through. Then, by twos, those in
the i ear passed through the lines. In
verting tho order of tho column nnd
dividing to the right and left, occupied
the center pews in the nave of tho
church. The bishop and chaplain, the
clerical members of the standing com
mittee and the rector of the church,
Bev. Rogers Israel, sat in the sanctu
ary. THE nOLL CALL.
At the conclusion of tho bishops ad
dress and tho closing exercises, tho
clergy, in formal rocessional, returned
to tho parish house, followed by tho
lay delegates. All except tho bishop
removed their ecclesiastical vestments.
Ho retained his full canonical lobes
while presiding. Tho business session
was rapped to order at 0.23.
Following Is a list of the delegates
who answered roll call. It Includes
seventy-three clergymen and ninety
one lay deputies. It Is a surety that
many others will register today:

Look into any favorite restaurant m any city at the lunch hour. Men are
crowded about the tables and eating as if for a wager. Behind them and around
them other men wait for their seats, wondering impatiently why people are such slow eaters. Theso are tho
people who sacrifice themselves to the passion for hurry. They eat heartily, rapidly, indifferent to everything
but a speedy return to business, and'the result is that the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition
become diseased. Since the stomach is the vital center from which the whole body is nourished, it follows that
no man can be stronger than his stomach. The " weak" heart which is so fatal to this hurrying generation will
be found often to be the result of the weak stomach. The "disorde-ed liver" will be set in order when the
diseased stomach is cured. It is the same with other organs. They are all fed from the stomach. When the
stomach breaks down they starve, and starvation means at first weakness and ultimately death. This being
true, it follows that the euro of diseases remote from the stomach would often follow the cure of diseases of
the stomach and the allied organs of digestion and nutrition. And that has been the experience of thousands
who have taken Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, only hoping for relief from " stomach trouble," but who
have found to their astonishment the liver regulated, " heart trouble " cured, " weak lungs " strengthened and
nervous diseases entirely overcome. " Golden Medical Discovery " cures diseases of tho stomach and the allied
organs of digestion and nutrition.- It cures through the stomach diseases remote from the stomach, which
have their origin in a diseased condition of that vital organ. If a man cannot eat he cannot live. If he can
eat, but cannot properly digest and assimilate his food he does not live but only exists, until some starved
organ becomes a prey to disease. By curing diseases of the stomach and digestive and nutritive systems
" Golden Medical Discovery " removes the obstacles to the perfect nutrition of the body and all its organs. By
increasing the nutrition it increases the supply of blood which is made from food, when properly digested and
assimilated, and this blood is the vital principle which nourishes the body and all its parts.
The natural result which follows the use of "Golden Medical Discovery" is a gain of flesh. This is
especially marked in what are termed wasting diseases, where the emaciation is pronounced. This gain of
flesh is a real gain not a surface gain of flabby fat which is a burden to carry arou: V but a gain of firm flesh
which counts for health and

crushed till they broke down tho landing stage and produced a horror of death
and destruction which shocked the entire country.
" Sacrificed to the American passion for hurry," is tho epitaph which might
be legitimately carved on the tombstones of thousands who have passed away as

vital organ, but who were in reality victims of stomach disease, induced by
the American habit of hurry at meals.

nor eat but very little, and then it would cause
me great distress. I tried several doctors but
got no relief. Was advised by a friend to
write to Dr. Pierce, which I did, and in a few
days I received a letter advising me to take
his ' Golden Medical Discovery ' and also his
' Pleasant Pellets.' After I had taken only
half a bottle I was greatly improved. I only

place last night at Guernsey hall, and
was an exceptionally pleasing event.
Tho young violinist created a decided
sensation when he came to tho plat
form, and tho audlenco saw the slight
figure oftho little lad with his small
violin under his arm. Tho boy pupil of
Mr. Ernst Thtele Is but nino years old,
yet so great is his proficiency that to
have tho honor o? a complimentary
concert Is deemed but his due.
Ho played charmingly two numbers
and encores for both. There Is a fin
ished delicacy of tone 1n his work that
affords a continual surprise, while tha
promise of a virile, broad interpreta
tion Is marked. In tho first selection,
by Duuda, his growing knowledge of
me.
I feel
aro spent in tho effort to regafa hoaStSt hypcopSe
who could have kept their health at an expanse of
21 contsa That is tho cost of tziaiJincj Bte Psorce's
technique was evident, the staccato
passages being exceedingly well played.
The Fantasle was also delightfully
given. His efforts were received with
much appreciation and wcie a great
credit to his master, Mr. Thlule.
Tho Dilettante string quartette gave
beautiful selections, the Hach air be
ing among the best. Tho quintette,
with Mr. Doersam at the niano, was
very pleasing. Mrs. Thlele and Mr.
John T. Watkins sang several charm
ing songs, Mrs. Thiele's Chamlnade
Mndrlgal needing special mention. The
pretty trio, by Messrs. Thlele, Doer
sam and Koempel, closed the pro
gramme. Tho string quartette was made up of
Etnst' Thlele, first violin; William
Allen, second violin; Edmund Thlele,
viola; Carl Koempel, 'cello.

and condition," says Mr. A. J. Vanderwater, of
873 West Division Street, Chicago, 111., "and
you advised me to take Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. I am happy to say I am
getting to feel fine. In all I have taken six
bottles of the ' Discovery ' and four or five
vials of the little ' Pellets,' and they have done
me worlds of good. These medicines have
wrought the great change in me. I was a
slow mope of a man that could hardly crawl,
tired and sick all the time, unable to work; now
I can work, sleep, eat, and feel fine, and that
tired feeling is all going away. Dn Pierce's
medicines have almost made a new man of
young as I did at thirty years."
