GENERAL CONVENTION
EPISCOPAL CHURCH
tTTIE Foriy-seventh Triennial Con
vention of the Episcopal Church is
now n session at Portland, Oregon.
The eyes of the counry are upon it be
cause it represents one of the most
influential religious communions in
the United States. Its position on re
ligious, moral and social questions has
great weight not only within but with
out tts membership. It unites in Its
policy a stabilizing conservatism and j
a sane progressiveness. Its liberal ^
policy of holding all within its mem
bership, who hold to fundamental doc
trines, but may widely differ upon
matters of pious opinion which are j
not de fide, commands admiration from i
the thoughtful, while it puzzles many
who test orthodoxy by minute rules
rather than by principles.
Emphasizing the teaching of the Ten !
Commandments, without addition 01
subtraction; holding tenacously to its j
belief in a validly conferred, guarded
an transmitted ministry through the
episcopate of Apostolic succession, ;
maintaining that ivine grace, needful i
for all who would grow in righteous
living and holiness of character, is j
conveyed through Sacraments of;
Christ's ordaining and appointment; |
standing firmly for religious education
and the admission of children to the
covenanted privileges of its faith; be
lieving in the evangelization of the
world, and enshrining its faith in a
dignified, ornate and appealing order
of worship contained in its book of
Common Prayer, the Episcopal Church
has gone quietly on its way exerting
an influence for good far exceeding
its numerical strength. This Is no
doubt why the triennial meetings of
General Convention, its chief law-mak
ing and governing body, attracts such
wide attention. •
The General Convention consists of
two houses, corresponding to those of
Congress. The include the House of
The House of Bishops now numbers
139. It is interesting to record that
three Negroes are in the House of
Bishops. They are the Rt. Rev. E.
Thomas Demby, of Arkansas and the
Southwest Province; the Rt. Rev.
Henry Beard Delaney of Norh Caro
lina; and the Rt. Rev. Theophilus
Momolu Gardiner of Liberia.
The House of Deputies is composed
of clerical and lay depties from all the
dioceses and missionary districts.
Each diocese is represented by four
clerical and four lay delegates, elect
ed by their respective diocesan con
ventions; while each missionary dis
trict Is represented by one of each
order chosen in the same manner.
Therefore, it is a thoroughly represen
tative body, in which every member of
the Church is interested. As there
are sixty-nine dioceses and thirty-three
missionary districts, the House of
Deputies has a membership of 620.
Many important matters are occupy
ing the attention of General Conven
tion among which are the revision of
the Prayer Book and Lectionary, cer
tain canonical and constitutional
amendments, but that which will loom
largest in the summing up are practi
cal questions bearing upon making the
Episcopal Church function more effi
ciently and vitally in helping make
America and the world more essen
tially Christian and in helping to heal
the wounds of Christendom and to an
swer the high priestly prayer of its
Divine Founder: “That they all may
be as one; as Thou, Father, art in Me
and I in Thee, that they also may be
one in Us that the world may believe
that Thou hast sent Me,” and that all
mankind may live in love and peace
together as children of that common
Father

CHOOSING A COLLEGE
JT is always a question with students
,who contemplate taking a college
course to which of the many excellent
educational institutions they will go.
There is always an attractiveness in
going away from home. It is the old
delusion of sweetness of the honey or
maple sugar of somewhere else. The
people of Wisconsin, for example, look
with longing eye upon the maple sugar
of Maine, while the people of Maine
long for the maple sugar of Wiscon
sin. And so it is with schools, col
leges and universities. Bostonians
seek Columbia College, while New
Yorkers attend Harvard. Nebraskans
go to Iowa State University and
Iowans come to Nebraska State Uni
versity. There is an attractiveness,
too, in attending colleges and univer
sities where the enrollment is large.
But after all, we are of the opinion
that the best educational work is done
in the smaller colleges where mere
can be closer personal touch and sup
ervision by the faculty than is possible
where the student body is large. Ana
while there is much to be said about
contact and the larger outlook, it is
up to the student himself, as to how
much or how little> he will get out of
his college or university course. With
excellent colleges and universities
close at hand, it is wholly unnecessary
for the earnest student, whose means
are limited, to add the heavy expenses
of k. distant railroad journey for the
same advantages which he can secure,
as a rule, much nearer home.
TWO LEADERS CALLED
JT is a rather remarkable coincidence
that two great religious leaders in
the same denomination should be call
ed to their reward within a few days
of each other. The death of the Rev.
Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Arkansas,
followed closely upon that of Dr. R.
H. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., tyhose
death we chronicled last week. Both
were recognized as great leaders in the
Baptist denomination where each
wielded a tremendous influence in the
two respective national bodies into
which, unfortunately, Negro Baptists
a few years ago divided, a division
which it is hoped by all well-wishers
for unity among brethren of a com
; mon aim, name and purpose, will soon
be healed.,Each wrought manfully and
well, according to his light and lead
ing, for the evangelization, education
and advancement of our people.
COUNCIL BLUFFS a"”
One of the most beautiful, progres
sive and enterprising cities in the
United States is Omaha’s twin or sis
ter city, Council Bluffs, Iowa, which
lies on the east bank of the broad
Missouri Kiver and is bound to the
Nebraska metropolis by wonderful
bridges. Beautiful parks, and public
buildings; handsome homes and
churches, attractive stores, commer
cial houses and banks bespeak its civic
pride and industrial strength and pro
claim the character of its citizenship.
The Monitor will present in subsequent
issues important and interesting facts
and features of Omaha's Iowa Twin.
The popular mayor of Council Bluffs
is Lou Zurmuehlen, who owes his pop
ularity to his reputation for fair deal
ing with all classes of citizens.
The city has many points of histone
interest. One that will appeal to our
readers is the Lincoln Memorial in
Lincoln Park. The shaft in tne illus
tration marks the point from which
Abraham Lincoln viewed Council
Bluffs, August 10, 1850, at General
Dodge’s request, prospective to the
building of the Union Pacific Railroad.
The land for Lincoln Park was pre
sented to the city of Council Bluffs in
1010 by Mr. and Mrs. Millard F. Rob
erts. Mr. Roberts is park commi'
sioner and is active in business and
civic affairs.
In a recent auto accident when a
boxcar at an I. C. R. R. crossing struck
and damaged the car in which sev
eral persons were riding, Mrs. Cora
Reese sustained a broken leg. Dam
ages are to be awarded. E. C. An
derson, Swift Packing Company hotfee
employee, was at the wheel and it w’as
due to his coolness and nerve that a
greater catastrophe was averted. Mrs.
Birdie Raymond and Mr. Beasiey were
the other occupants who were injured.
The Joe Reese fishing party of
1 these pails was, as usual, an affair
i de luxe—a humdinger. But this ton
sorial artist pulls off such stunts eacn
! year.
Mrs. Jennie Sellars, Omaha, nigh
priestess of Tabernacle Lodge, was
| here last Saturday paying death and
! burial claims of Mrs. Georgia Sublctt,
1 who was buried from Woodings Un
! dertaking Parlors, July 15. Mrs. F.
L. Hawthorne attended Mrs. Sellars
while here.
Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Hill entertained
! at their new home, Fourteenth street
and Pleasant Avenue, Mr. Thomas H.
Jones, advertising and subscription
i solicitor for The Monitor.
The political pot here is just begin
ning to seethe and boil. The voters
! among our group, here as elsewhere,
threaten more independent action in
casting their votes than has ever been
known. We will denote in our next
issue feasible candidates.
