BISHOPS WANT TO
KEEP SECRETARY
Decide Money for Salary and Ei
peniei ii Well Spent by
the Synod.
GIVES STRENGTH TO CHTJRCH
A warm argument on the question
f retaining the provincial secretary
marked the morning session of the
Episcopal synod of the Province of
the Northwest.
There are many in the province
who believed that thin officer could
be dispensed with, thus savin the
$1,000 salary and the 11.000 re
quired for his expenses.
Several of the bishops spoke and
all of them favored keeping both the
office and the man now filling it,
Ret. Dr. C. C. Ilollit.
Bishop Tyler of North Dakota
truck a humorous note In the dis
cussion when he paid:
I vm o much bothered by a flood of
letters from traveling sMr.rls when
1 first became blKhnp nf North Hakota
that I felt like king the board to ap
point a missionary to tnke mre nf my
correspond nee and I wanted to put half
f 'cm right out of their Job. It. Kol
lit, however, has left th beautifully
Jone. I bop that we will vote ujiroar
tusly, simultaneously, unanimously and
tumultously to retain the office and to
retain Dr. Rolllt In It.
More Tfcaa Money.
TSlshop Beecher made a strong epeech
In favor of It and the venerable bishop
ferawer of Xlonlana, who waa prrstillnC
el the meetlnr. took the floor and pointed
ut that the dioceses In which the eoi ro
tary worked during the last year had con
tributed ft.OUO more than they Hid the
year before, thus proving the secretary's
ftkdeacy from the financial atandjolrt
OMshep Beecher declared there was a
much deeper cause for retaining Dr. Rol
llt than mere money. "The spiritual
strengthening of the people and the giv
ing of a broader vision of the great
church to those In remote dlMrlcts are
lone worth retaining this office and
officer," said the bishop.
The synod voted unanimously against
memorialising the general convention of
the church to have the office abolish
The Brotherhood of BL Andiew was
addressed by F. It. Spencer at t p. m.
and at 1:30 p. m. a conference on social
service. Bishop Beecher presiding; was
held in Gardner Memorial hail.
This evening at I o'clock a niajis meet
ing will be held In Gardner Memorial
hall, at which O. W. Watties will pre
Ida. The Iter. F. M. Crouch of New
York City, secretary of the Joint commis
sion of social service, will speak on "The
