Mr.. Newton said the Bishop should.not.
attempt to depose Mr.. Cheney, but the
prayer book. There Was no alternative
for those whirled conscientious scruples.
but to be forced out of the Church.
Dr. Andrews deplored- any mention of
the coining trial of Mr. Cheney. All al
lusions to it were premature. -

unanimously. •
The Business Committee decided that
the reyision.of the pmyer boek would be
discussed fronsioight to nine this evening,
and ••How to , do it?" from nine. , to ten. .
Mr. Cheney said ho could not be pies
ent tonight. He consequently wanted
to say something about the retislon of
the prayer book. Were they to go on in
using a pinyer' book which inculcated
false doctrine and untrue meaning ? He
hoped the time would come when they
could 'have. 'a pure liturgy,/with no
Ai laying his heavy hand upon them
—a liturgy reflectin ,, ttie .eachlngs of
Christ the Mister. He had seen many
laymen present and he was glad to see
them, waking up. Miley would under
stand that; the clergy did not propose to
tear up the prayer book.' but bring it into
harmony with the-word ofGod. The dis
cussion had already done more good
than all the . Episcopal preaching
hi Chicago for a quarter of n i century. It
would waken the laity to the truth, that
they bad a 'right 4 to see; they 'would
know that there were men\ who dared
stand up far the truth In ',tho. face of
ecclesiastical censure. , •
