ANNUAL ADDRESS 1912. 


It is with unusual pleasure that I greet the Clergy and Laity who are 
assembled in our 35th Annual Council here tody. For most of them the 
coming to this part of the State is a new experience, and I know they 
will be gratified to find a vigorous self-supporting congregation where but 
a few years ago, our Church was unknown. ; 


In my address to the 12th Annual Council of the Diocese, meeting in 
Shepherdstown in 1889, I find under date of Oct. 15, 1888 this entry: 
“Visited the new town of Bluefield, Mercer Co., but owing to the inclement 
weather, and the incompleteness of the building we were to use, no ar- 
rangement could be made for service. I do not say anything about the 
population, but I add, this town has grown up in a few months. The Rev. 
Mr. Gauss of Tazewell Co., Va., here and at Princeton and Bramwell.” It 


DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 15 


is encouraging to note that now, after 24 years, we have a resident min- 
ister at each place in the three towns and where we then had no property 
and only fifteen o1 twenty communicants, we now have three Churches 
and two Rectories, property valued at nearly $20,000, and about 200 com- 
municants. 


Since the last Council our Senior Presbyter and one of our most faithful 
and efficient ministers has been called to his rest. The Rev. Geo. W. 
Haster, Rector of AlJ Saints Union, passed away from our midst Oct. 1911. 
Of singularly gentle disposition, Mr. Easter moved in and out among his 
people and among his brethren so quietly that they hardly realized how 
very efficient he was in the administration of a Parish which had many 
difficulties peculiarly its own. He was as staunch a Churchman as he was 
a true man and a broad minded Christian. No one was more universally 
admired and esteemed in the community where he lived. His very pres- 
ence was felt to be a benediction, as was abundantly shown by the general 
sorrow at his loss. 


We have also been called upon to give up the Chancellor of the Diocese, 
Mr. Joseph Trapnell of Charlestown. No one was more deeply interested 
in the Diocese than he was or was more ready to serve it in every way in 
his power. Bp. Gravatt is better informed than I am, and will speak more 
particularly of Mr. Trapnell.

16 THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


ee OO 


JULY. 

Sunday, 2nd.—Officiated in the morning and afternoon in Trinity 
Church, Parkersburg, Dr. Moore, at my request, preaching for Rev. Mr. 
Brittingham in Wheeling, -He, Mr. Brittingham, having been absent for 
about a month in a hospital] in Baltimore. 


Sunday, 9th.—Preached in St. John’s. Willow Island. This church will 
shortly be replaced by a new building near the depot. Not only is the old 
church very much out of repair, but the location is no longer desirable. 
In the afternoon I preached in the Church of the Messiah, Waverly, and 
confirmed one person. In the evening I preached in Christ Memorial 
Church, Williamstown. 


Sunday, 16th—In the morning preached at St. John’s, Brooke county, 
and baptized an infant. This church is now in a good state of repair and 
we hope may soon have regular services resumed. 


In the afternoon I met a number of our congregation in a private house 
at Follansbee, and consulted with them about their proposed church build- 
ing. I am convinced that here, as elsewhere, our work has been kept back 
by the desire and effort to erect a building beyond the resources of the 
people. In the afternoon preached in Christ Church, Wellsburg. We re- 
gret the loss of Rev. James D. Gibson from this field. He has, however, 
left the church in better condition than it has been for a long time, and 
the effort will be made speedily to fill the vacancy. 


Sunday, 28rd.—Morning and afternoon preached in St. John’s, Ripley. 
This church had been for some months undergoing extensive repairs and 
improvements and presented a most attractive appearance. A tower and 
vestibule have been added, and also a commodious vestry room. In addi- 
tion arches have been sprung over the chancel, organ room and baptistry. 
Seven very handsome stained glass windows have taken the place of the 
old windows, and the walls and ceiling have been freshly colored and or: 
namented, This has been done at a cost of $938, and all the money save 
about $100 has been raised. In the afternoon I baptized two infants. 


Sunday, 30th.—In the forenoon preached in St. Marks, Berkeley Springs, 
and confirmed three. In the afternoon drove over to Hedgesville, preached 
in Mt. Zion Church, aud confirmed three. J was glad to welcome Mr. 
Cross, who has taken charge of this work. The promise is good.

ference with Bishop Gravatt. .

The past year has been marked my an unusual number of vacancies 
in the Diocese, and the utmost efforts of the Bishops have been unable 
to stay the tide or fill up the gaps. At this present time of writing 
St. Andrew’s, Wheeling is vacant. It is expected that the man in charge 
of this Church will look after Chester, Weston and other important points 
in the upper Pan Handle. 

St. Matthew’s, Wheeling has not yet succeeded in securing an assistant 
to Mr. Stryker to enable him properly to care for the promising work 
at Echo Point and Elm Grove. 

A new charge has been formed by putting together St. Mary’s and 
Williamstown and points between. For this we have just secured a 
minister. 

The Church at Elkins, with which are connected Buckhannon and 
Spruce is also vacant. 

No provision has yet been made for Shepherdstown. To the extensive 
and important charge containing Lewisburg, Ronceverte made vacant 
by the removal of Mr. Dandridge will be assigned a Deacon to be ordained 
this month St. John, Charleston, which has assumed charge at St. 
Matthew’s and St. Luke’s has not yet been able to secure a man to 
assist the Rector. 

St. Albans which has been put with the Missions on Cabin Creek will 
be supplied during the summer but at the expense of the Mountain Mission 
near Charles Town. 


26 THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


Nor have we been able to secure a man to assist Mr. Crowe in his widely 
extended work, especially at Welch and Gary. 


And in addition to all this we are not yet assured that the plans made 
for the supply of Unicon and Marlinton with their dependencies can be 
carried out. 


From what has been said it will be perceived that we need at once at 
least seven men to man the posts now vacant. 

A careful consideration of the situation has convinced your Bishops 
that one of the difficulties we have been contending against, has been the 
inadequate support of the clergy. This has been a diffiiculty of long 
standing, and we have made some progress in contending with it. But 
it has become apparent that something more must be done at once, even 
to hold our own, much more if we mean to carry still forward our 
promising work. It has been determined therefore to form a Sustentation 
Fund for this purpose to secure clergy at least 900 or 1,000 salary as 
occasion might require. 

The plans to accomplish this are progressing favorably, but we are 
moving with caution lest we should interfere with the regular work of 
our congregations. No general appeal will be made, but only such as with 
the co-operation of the clergy shall be considered:reasonable and practica- 
ble. 

During the year that is past Bishop Gravatt has been specially active 
in the Kanawha Convocation in looking personally after the vacant 
charges, and also in his efforts to secure supplies for the whole Diocese. 
It has been under his superintendence that the work of the General 
Missionary Mr. Chrisman, so happily inaugurated at Wheeling in 1911 
has been carried on. Mr. Chrisman has not only been most diligent in 
his labors as his reports in the Church News show, but his work has been 
most successful in its general acceptance and in its happy results. All 
over the Diocese he has ministered to our vacant Churches, encouraging 
them by his presence and services and words of cheer, and holding up 
the various organizations to the financial and other work they had to do. 
Without this work which Mr. Chrisman has so diligently and effectively 
done, I hardly know what our condition would be, certainly there would 
have been sérious disintegration and discouragement. He has also been 
quite active and efficient in fostering Sunday School Institutes in suitable 
centres and so promoting the work of one of our most important agencies 
for the maintenance and growth of the Church. 


{ think it proper to announce to the Diocese that after nearly twenty-six 
years of continuous service it has seemed expedient for me to resign from 
the Board of Missions. This has been done not from any lessening interest

done my part but rather from the fact that having been disabled several 
times during the past year, and finding my natural force considerably

abated, I thought that some younger and more vigorous man could better 
do the work. It shall be my effort in future as in the past to foster the 
great cause of Missions and I hope always to be proud of the Diocese as 
squarely and cheerfully facing its Missionary duty. 

I think I am safe in saying that with the single exception of the 
vacancies that the Diocese was never in better condition than it it to-day. 
Our men are working harmoniously together, and are alive to the 
demands of the hour and seem to raelize more than ever before that for 
the Church the field is the world. Pray we the good Lord to keep us all 
steadfast in our faith, and ready to serve Him where he places us with all 
our powers. Let Paul plant and Apollos water, we look to God for the 
increase.

THE SPECIAL DIOCESAN COMMITTEE. 


The Special Diocesan Committee begs to report that it has had three 
meetings since the last Council. The object of these meetings was to pre- 
pare and carry out a plan by which the claims and helpfulness of the Du- 
plex Envelope System, properly presented and carried out would assist the 
parish and mission in their efforts to meet their financial missionary ob- 
ligations. A special letter was prepared and sent out to 35 of the parishes 
and missions of the Diocese, asking for a consideration of the Duplex 
Envelope plan, and requesting a reply to the committee’s chairman. 11 re- 
plies were received. Two of these reported having introduced the en- 
velopes; two desired the envelopes under certain conditions; one hoped 
to introduce them; one replied returning an individual pledge; one post- 
poned consideration because the parish was without a rector, and three 
declined to introduce the envelopes for various reasons. Of the 46 
parishes and stations on the committee’s list, ten have adopted in whole 
or in part the Bishop’s envelopes and six the Duplex envelopes, a total of 
16. Abot one-third of all our Diocesan parishes and mission points show, 
therefore, an envelope system in use. This is a slight gain for the 
year, but the committee feels that it is a long way from what it should 
be. Local conditions make it difficult to adopt any system of giving, 
and sometimes impossible; but that much more could be done with care 
and persistency is certain. As is well known, the Board of Missions 
will supply the Duplex envelopes for weekly offerings free for one year 
to any parish or mission under a few simple conditions, viz., the ap- 
pointment of a missionary committee, the making of an every-member 
canvass of the congregation in person for weekly subscriptions, and the 
use of the missionary end of the envelopes for general missions, or for 
general and Diocesan missions. Few parishes can show that this system 
has been fully adopted, but many which have consistently used this 
system, prove its value in the greatly increased offerings for missions 
received, without, apparently, adding a financial burden to any parishioner. 
In some places, in addition to the general parochial envelope giving for 


32 'THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


eee 


missions, it is possible for the rector to approach some parishioners on 
the subject of making a definite offering to him, over and above their 
usual pledge, for general missions, or for the support of work in the 
foreign, domestic or Diocesan field. This appeal should be made person- 
ally, and not by letter, which is true also of all appeals made in the in- 
terests of missions, and the pledges or gifts obtained by the rector may 
apply to the parochial apportionment, as they are not “specials,” but 
“designated offerings” given to maintain the work supported by the 
general Church. 

The Committee is glad to note an increase in missionary giving by the 
Diocese for the past year, and we confidently believe that the whole of 
our apportionment would have been met if a system of giving, like the one 
above advocated, had been adopted, and then persistently followed up 
throughout the whole Diocese. 

The loyalty of our people is unquestioned, but without some definite 
system it seems impossible for us to hope that our Diocese will do what 
it can and ought to de in proof of its acceptance of both our Diocesan 
and general missionary apportionments.

Rev. Robt. Douglas Roller, D. D., Cha’n, 
Committee Diocese of West Virginia, 
Charleston, W. Va. 
Rev. Dear Sir and Brother: 


The sum total received by this Commission, in cash and pledges, during 
the three and one-half years of its militant career, is about $460,000.00. 

To this sum total the great Diocese of West Virginia has contributed 
$10,599.78, as follows:

The $5,000,000 goal has not been attained. No, but this Commission 
has paid $191,000.00 over to the General Clergy Relief Fund, and thus en- 
abled them to institute, Oct. Ist, 1911, a general clergy pension by right 
of service, which marked an epochal departure from the Church’s long 
continued partial, relief-on-confession-of-penury method of providing for 
servants worn out in her service. 


THE PENSION FUND COMMISSION, 
By J. J. Wilkins, G. S. & F. R. 


The Rev. Mr. Brittingham offered this: 


Resolved, that a committee of three be appointed to inquire into the 
most effective way of preserving the old Parish Registers, Records, and 
Vestry Minute Books throughout the Diocese. 


The Bishop appointed 


The Rev. P. N. McDonald. 
The Rev. J. Brittingham. 
Mr. C. L. Thompson. 


The ministers of Bluefield were introduced to the Council and wel- 
comed. 


The following report of the Executive Committee of the Diocesan 
Missionary Committee was introduced. 


44  THirtTy-FIFTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


on 


REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF DIOCESAN MISSIONARY 
SOCIETY. 


This report of the work of the Society is respectfully submitted.

There has been a notable increase in the aggregate of contributions 
to this fund, amounting to about $1,000, which is a most encouraging fact, 
but the relatively large balance on hand is to be attributed, not merely to 
this increase, but to the very depressing conditions surrounding our 
work during the past year owing to the many vacancies in the field and the 
numerous pulpits. for the most part silent, by reason of these vacancies. 

The Bishops have been earnest and unremitting in their efforts to 
supply the need, not only by personal service, but by constant endeavor 
to find men to fil! the vacant posts, and they have been most faithfully 
secccded hy the genera! rissionary, the Rev W. P. Chrigman. The 
outlook is now more hopeful than it was in the earlier part of the 
year, aS several men have recently entered, or are about to enter, these 
fields. 

Seventeen men, ministering in many widely scattered places have been 
aided. The average stipend paid, after making some deductions from the 
total of disbursements for expenses, has been less than $250. Of course, 
there has been wide variance in the sums paid to the men, as the local 
strength of the Churches in the different communities varies so widely. 
The smallest stipend paid has been at the rate of $50 a year and the 
largest at the rate of $540. 

The above simple statement of facts as to existing conditions and needs 
make their own most urgent appeal for increased zeal and liberality in 
the maintenance of this most important work. 

S. ScottAy Moors, 
Secretary. 


DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 45 


The Trustee of the Aged and Disabled Clergy Fund made this re- 
port: 


REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF AGED CLERGY FUND. 


It appears from the report of the Treasurer of the Diocese that this 
fund now amounts to $11,048.10, and that there are bonds and notes 
in his hands covering this entire sum. 

Receipts during the year from all sources, including interest upon the 
invested funds, have been $1,490.75, and disbursements to beneficiaries 
have been $1,057.50. 

There are now seven beneficiaries, of whom one receives $200 a year, 
one $180, and five $150 each. 

Thus it will be seen that payments are now being made at the rate of 
$1,130 a year, which sum is largely in excess of the income from in- 
vested funds. 

These payments are made, either to the men themselves, or to the 
widows and children of the men, who have borne the burden and heat of 
the day—in every case to those, who, for the love of the Master, whom 
they serve, and of the people, to whom they minister, have endured the 
hardships and privations of the missionary’s life. 

They have now for the most part come to the evening of their days 
and are sitting in the quiet places, waiting that Master’s summons to 
come up higher. Shall we not with loving ministrations make the 
even time peace? 


On motion the report of the Special Diocesan Committee on the 
Duplex Envelope system, was referred back to the committee with in- 
structions to prepare a resolution tending to the practical carrying 
out of their recommendations. 


On motion the Council adjourned until 9:30 A. M., tomorrow.

46 THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


The Committee on the State of the Church was instructed to pre- 
pare a memorial page in the Journal to the Rev. George W. Easter. 


The Rev. Mr. Brittingham offered the following, which was adopt- 


ed: 


Resolved, that the secretary send a letter to the Rev. Messrs. S. S. 
Moore, L. W. S. Stryker and A. J. Willis, expressing our sincere regret at 
their enforced absence from the council on account:-of illness, and assur- 
ing them of our prayers and of the earnest hope of a speedy and perma- 
nent recovery.

In case of vacancies occurring in Parishes or Missions receiving aid from 
the Diocese after due notice by the Bishop, the Bishop shall have the au- 
thority to fill the same and put under the care of the minister in charge, 
such places as he (the Bishop) may deem expedient. 


R. D. ROLLER, 
J. S. DOUGLAS, 


DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 49 


And this, which was adopted: 


The Committee on Constitution and Canons, to whom was referred the 
dratting of a provision for Arch-deacon, (page 70 last year’s journal) re 
spectfully report that they have not had time to familiarize themselves 
with the legislation on this subject, whether it is a constitutional or 
canonical provision, and ask to be continued. 

R. D. ROLLER, 


J. S. DouGLas, 


The Committee on the State of the Church made this report: 


Your committee on the State of the Church can think of no better way 
in which to introduce their report than by quoting the words of the 
Bishop made on the opening day of the Council. He said: “The Church in 
the Diocese was never in better condition than it is today.” 

Certainly no one in the Diocese is in better position to speak with au- 
thority for he speaks from knowledge made intimate by his visitations 
and by his close touch with every feature of diocesan activity. 

This encouraging condition is verified by the Bishop Coadjutor and by 
our General Missionary both of whom speak from first hand knowledge 
of what is being accomplished. But we have further evidence in its sup- 
port by the statements which have been presented by the diocesan Treas- 
urers and by the Committee on Parochial Reports. There is an increase in 
every item of vital] statistics with but one exception and that of such a 
character that it does not naturally affect the Church’s growth. 

When we come to examine the reports of the treasurers we find two 
things worthy of mention: first, an increase of offerings for the work of 
the Diocese which tells of larger ventures made for the Master in this 
portion of the Vineyard, and also of an ability on the part of the people 
beyond that which they themselves have before realized. Only a few years 
ago some felt that we could not stand alone but needed the support of the 
General Missionary Society of the Church to aid us in going forward. The 
support was relinquished and we still went on. Last year our assessments 
and apportionments were considerably increased and again it was felt that 
we would not rise to the occasion. But we have approximately met them 
all and the work is going forward. It is true that a few of our Churches 
and Missions, for reasons which seemed good to themselves, have asked 
for a decrease in the amounts assigned to them, but others have volun- 
teered to increase and so the Church suffers no injury. In the second place 
it shows not only ability to meet the obligations, but it shows that which 
is better—a willingness to meet them. Figures which tell of larger num- 
bers of baptisms, confirmations, communicants, preaching points and 


50 THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


monies contributed, while they speak of growth in the outward things 
need not in themselves be conclusive evidence of growth in the essential 
thing for which they stand, but when we take these and add to them the 
splendid spirit and interest which have been manifest in our Council we 
think it fair to conclude that the offerings have not been made “grudging- 
ly or of necessity” but that the people have “willingly offered themselves” 
and what they have, that they are more and more becoming cheerful givers. 
So we believe the Church in West Virginia is growing in Grace as well as 
in numbers, With these things to encourage us we go forth again to our 
respective fields, stimulated and resolved by the Grace of God to do our 
best to further the Master’s cause. 

There is one matter of importance which will be brought to the attention 
of the Council in another report but which we think lies also within the 
province of the Committee and that is to call attention to the importance 
and necessity to make adequate provision for the preservation of the 
Farish Records. ; 

We would also approve the resolutions which have been referred to us 
that a page in the Journal be given to record the memory of the late Rev. 
George W. Easter and a similar page to that of the late Mr. Joseph Trap- 
nell, both of whom rendered such valuable service to the Diocese and that 
the record be in the forms submitted. 


Respectfully submitted, 


JOHN S. DOUGLAS, 
P. N. McDONALD, 
C. S. HEBDEN, 
C. A. MILLER. 


The Assessment Committee submitted report which was adopted. 
(See Appendix C.) 


The Committee on Diocesan Records made this report. The recom- 
mendations were adopted: 


Whereas, This Church is justly proud of the historic continuity of her 
life and orders. 

Whereas, She has from the earliest settlements in this country played 
an important and active part in molding the thought and life of th¢ 
American people. 

Whereas, The records of this Church are fruitful and valuable sources 
of the history of our country and therefore should be most carefully pre- 
served and safeguarded. 

Whereas, In many of our missions and parishes the registers are care- 
lessly and imperfectly kept, and the old books themselves are not treasured 
or preserved as they should be; 


DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 51 


SS eee 


Therefore, Be it Resolved: 


1. That all clergymen of the Church be urged to keep such registers in 
the exact manner prescribed by law. 

2. That the general missionary of the Diocese be authorized to solicit 
so far as possible all old parish registers, vestry minute books, and other 
material of historic interest to the Diocese of West Virginia. To have 
the same catalogued and filed in a suitable place. 

3. That a committee consisting of the General Missionary, the Secretary 
of the Diocese, and the Historiographer be appointed to take this whole 
matter of the proper preservation of the official records of the Church un- 
der consideration to report at the next Council. 

P. N. McDONALD. 


The Rev. Dr. Roller offered this, which was adopted: 


Resolved, That this Council commend the earnest efforts of Miss Brady, 
in issuing so regularly the Church News, and that we ask a fuller pat- 
ronage of the Diocesan paper, all over the Diocese. 


Adopted. 


The Treasurer of Diocese was instructed to pay the sexton of Christ 
Church, Bluefield, the sum of $10.00. 


By agreement between the Rector at Morgantown and the Rector 
at Charleston, motion was made to list in the places of meeting of the 
Council, Charleston for 1913 and See Ge n 1915. Adopted. Char- 
leston is the next place of meeting. 


The Rev. Mr. Brittingham offered this which was adopted: 


Resolved, That in view of the fact that the Rev. R. D. Roller, D. D., has 
for twenty-five years served as Secretary of this Diocese, we desire to place 
on record our appreciation of his faithfulness and efficiency and ask that a 
committee be appointed to present suitable testimonials at the next Council 
which will meet in his Parish on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his Rec- 
torship of Kanawha Parish. . 


600 copies of the Journal were ordered printed. 


The-Rev. Mr. Beavin offered this resolution of thanks which was 
unanimously adopted 


Whereas, We, the members of the 35th Council of the Diocese of West 
Virginia, have enjoyed the cordial welcome and bountiful hospitality of

DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 


REV. GEORGE W. EASTER. 


Born in Baltimore, Md., Jan. Ist, 1838. 

Died at Union, W. Va., Oct. Ist, 1911. 

Ordained Priest by Bishop Ellott in Savannah, Ga., 
June 4th, 1861. Served the Church in Savannah, Ga., 
Ashland, Va, St. Louis, Mo., Sewickley, Pa., Port De- 
posit, Md., Hastville, Va. and at Union, W. Va. 

When the Rey. Mr. Easter came to West Virginia in 
April, 1892, he became Rector of All Saints Church, 
Union, Monroe Co. and continued Rector of that church 
until his death, October 1st, 1911. Gentle and retiring, 
sweet and loving in his home life; as a pastor, he was 
watchful, loving, conscientious and true—honored and 
loved not only by Bishops and Clergy, but by all who 
knew him. Devoted and loyal to his church—a sensi- 
ble and earnest preacher, faithful unto death. He has 
received the reward of “well done” from Him, whom he 
served so faithfully—even the crown of life. 


THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


JOSEPH TRAPNELL, ESQ. 


On March 16, 1912, from his home in Charles Town, 
Vest Virginia, Mr. Joseph Trapnell entered into life 
eternal. Mr. Trapnell was born Sept. 1, 1842, at Anna- 
polis, Maryland. He was a devoted Churchman and for 
years been a vestryman of Zion Church, Charles Town, 
taking the deepest interest in all things appertaining to 
the welfare of the parish; and as Lay Reader for many 
years a most efficient help in the Church’s work. While 
his health in recent years compelled him to resign the 
strain of a most active professional life, he nevertheless 
retained his keen interest in all parish affairs to the very 
last, an interest which was not merely, unselfish, but 
most comprehensive in its active and affectionate help- 
fulness both within and without the limits of his own 
parish life. In our Diocesan Council he was noted for 
his wisdom and for many years his counsel and advice 
were looked forward to and felt by this body. For the 
past four years he served as the Chancellor of the Dio- 
cese, and always kept in touch in the most intelligent 
way with all matters Loncerning the General-Church, as 
well as representing for many years this Diocese in the 
General Convention. As a lawyer of marked ability he 
always regarded his profession from the high plane of 
Christian citizenship. 

We recognize in his death a loss to the Diocese and to 
the whole Church.

NO BALANCE THIS YEAR. 


This report needs no explanation and as no attention is ever paid to 
the numerous recommendations of your Trustee, he has concluded not 
to make any. I suggest to those who come to Council without having 
paid their assessments to “wake up.” . 

Matters, over which I have no control, compel me to remain at home this 
week.

The Central Banking & Security Company hereby certifies, that it 
has in possession the several items and money making up the amount of 
$40,478.10 above stated. 


THE CENTRAL BANKING & SECURITY CO., 


By J. V. LANGFITT, 
Assistant Secretary. 


The Trustees especially report that all loans and investments they 
now hold are well secured; but a number of contributions listed among 
the papers held by the Central Banking & Security Co., as shown by its 
certificate, have been carried for year in their accounts, which should be 
charged off as unavailable assets. From various causes they are not col- 
lectible. Some persons dispute the amounts, claiming mistakes or settle- 
ment; some are unable to pay; and some ignore efforts to collect. 


The last item of “Sundry Certificates,” $294.50, consists of pledges 
from numerous persons certifying that they will pay in installments; 
‘and the present amount is a residue of which every ordinary means 
of realizing has been exhausted. 


The retention of these items, aggregating about $725, is misleading, 
and we pray that the Council authorize the Trustees to eliminate them

from the account and charge them off. This will reduce the figures, 
but will not diminish the real worth of the fund. We accordingly recom- 
mend that Council pass a Resolution. 

That the Trustees of the Permanent Fund be and are hereby author- 
ized to eliminate and charge off of their accounts, such of the pledges 
and obligations made by contributors to the fund, as the Trustees may 
deem worthless or unavailing as assets, and that they be allowed credit 
therefor in their settlements; and the Trustees shall report to the next 
Council the items so stricken, with a statement of the funds accordingly 
adjusted. 

Respectfully submitted, 
B. M. AMBLER, 
President.

“Brookside.” Racine, W. Va., May 15, 1912. 
My dear Bishop: 

The unchanged condition of my health will prevent my being with you 
and my brethren at the Council in Bluefield next month, but my prayer 
for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all that is done will be just as 
earnest as if I were present. 

i can do no regular work, but would report the following: Baptisms, 
infants, 2; marriages, 8; burials, 2; public services, 1 (the one you con- 
ducted last fall in the Methodist Church at Racine, which was kindly 
loaned for that purpose.) | 
So far as I can learn there are now 9 confirmed persons in the county 
and 20 who have been baptized. 


With warmest regards, I am always, 
Truly and affectionately your son in the Church, 


C. M. CAMPBELL.

OF THE 


THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COUNCIL OF THE PROTESTENT EPISCOPAL 
CHURCH IN THE DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 


CHARLESTON, W. Va. 
June 4, 1913, 11:00 A. M. 


The Thirty-Sixth Annual Council of the Diocese of West Virginia 
met this day and hour in St. John’s Church, 

The ante-communion was read by the Rt. Rev. Wm. Loyall Gravatt, 
D.D. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. Henry B. Lee, Jr., 
Rector of St. Paul’s Church, Weston, from the text Deut. 

The Rt. Rev. the Bishop of the Diocese assisted by the Bishop 
Coadjutor administered the Holy Communition. 

Immediately after the service the Council was called to order by 
the Bishop. 

Roll call showed a quorum present and the Bishop declared the 
Council organized for the transaction of business. Mr. J. C. Brady 
was appointed Treasurer pro tem.

On motion the rules of order of last year were adopted for the 
present session. 


The Council recessed until 2:30 P. M. 


June 4th, 2:30.P. M. 
The Bishop called Council to order and asked the Bishop Coadjutor 
to take the chair. Bishop Peterkin then read his address as follows: 


BISHOP’S ADDRESS—1912-19138. 


In our meeting today in Charleston, rather than in Morgantown, which 
was really next in order, the council has put on permanent record its 
appreciation of the faithfulness and efficiency of its Secretary, the Rev. 
Dr. Roller, and thus helped to celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of his 
Rectorship at this point. 

Wednesday 5th-June 9th.—The council during these days was in session 
in Christ Church, Bluefield: We were hospitably entertained, and had the 
usual business session and public services. I met and addressed the 
Woman’s Auxiliary on Thursday the 6th, engaging their help to the extent 
of $400 to pay off the debt on the Rectory of Ronceverte. On Sunday 9th, 
I preached the closing sermon, in the Presbyterian church, kindly tendered 
to us on account of its large accommodations. 

It was in October, 1882, 31 years ago, that I made my first visit to this 
south-western part of the State, or, as we are apt to call it, The Norfolk & 
Western section. In company with the Rev. Dr. Lacy of Hinton, I visited 


DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 15 


Princeton, Mercer County, confirming six and baptizing: two. We also 
visited Peerrysville, McDowell County; Oceana, Wyoming County; Anna- 
conna, Logan County; Madison, Boone County, in which place we found 
one Episcopalian who had been confirmed in Dublin by the late Arch- 
bishop Whately; and Beckley, Raleigh County, where we found three 
communicants. In all this south-western section of the state—Mercer, 
McDowell, Wyoming, Logan, Boone and Raleigh—we had at that time 11 
communicants and no church building or property of any kind. All these 
six counties contained about 4,000 square miles, exceeding in extent seven 
of our Dioceses. The population was very sparse, less than 40,000. That 
population has, however, increased to nearly 200,000 at this time, and in the 
territory where 31 years ago we had but 11 communicants and no church 
property of any kind we now have 6 churches and 2 rectories, and good 
prospect of building in three other nlaces. We have also 3 resident min- 
isters and 341 communicants. In my annual address of last year (1912) I 
noted October 15th, 1888, as the date of my first visit to Bluefield. 


And now again we have come to Charleston, the capital of the state and 
the center of the Kanawha convocation. At the time of the first council 
here in 1877, there were in this convocation 7 church buildings and 3 
rectories, 4 resident ministers and 251 communicants. We have now 39 
churches and chapels and 14 rectories, 13 resident ministers and 1 888 
communicants. 

I mention such things at this annual gathering because we are so 
scattered over our large territory and, as far as our churches and com- 
municants are concerned, are still so few and far between, that it is well 
we should note our progress from time to time and see what reason we 
have to thank God and take courage. 

Friday, 14th.—Addressed the Woman’s Auxiliary of Trinity Church, 
Parkersburg, W. Va. 

Sunday, 16th—Acting for Bishop Vincent, I preached in St. Luke’s 
Church, Marietta, Ohio, and confirmed 8. In the evening, preached in the 
church of the Good Shepherd, Parkersburg. 

Tuesday, 18th- Friday, 21st—These days were spent in attendance on the 
closing exercises of the Seminary and High School. 

Wednesday, 22nd.—I preached the annual missionary sermon in the 
‘Seminary Chapel, and in the same place, on Friday, 21, I ordained Mr. J. T. 
Carter to the Diaconate. 

Sunday 23rd.—A. M., Trinity Church, Parkersburg. P. M. Church of the 
Good Shepherd. 

Wednesday, 26th.—Officiated at a wedding in St. John’s Church, Wash- 
ington, D. C.

Sunday, 21.—Preached in the Church of the Good Shepherd, Parkersburg. 


Sunday, 28.—A. M., Ansted; P. M., Montgomery. At Montgomery I 
Stayed with my friend, Capt. W. R. Johnson. For thirty-five years, i. e., 
from my coming to West Virginia, Capt. Johnson had been my fast friend 
and the fast friend of the church. He was active in the local Mission, and 
one of the original promoters and supporters of the Sheltering Arms 
Hospital, being for many years Vice President of the Board of Directors. 
Capt. Johnson had been in bad health for several years, and died shortly 
after my visit. He will be greatly missed in the Diocese. 


AUGUST. 


Thursday, 1—At Echo Point, near Wheeling, I opened the Church House, 
a building erected by Rev. Mr. Stryker on most eligible lots, the most 
liberal donation of Mrs. Franzheim. This church house will enable us 
to care for many people, especially the young, who, by their location, would 
be otherwise rather isolated. They have ground enough to provide for 
all future developments. 


Sunday, 4.—I preached at Willow Island, Waverly and St. Marys. At 
Willow Island our new church occupies such an eligible location as will 
make it much more useful in the community. 


Sunday, 11.—A. M. and P. M., I preached in St. Thomas’ Church, White 
Sulphur. The P. M. service was for the colored people, of whom a goodly 
number are employed at the hotel. 


Sunday, 18.—A. M., preached in Grace Church, Clover Lick, and con- 
firmed 3. P.M., in St. John’s, Marlinton, and confirmed 2.

seemed so much better that we were encouraged to hope that he would 
soon be able to resume his work. 


Wednesday, 11.—In attendance on the Eastern Convention, Keyser. 


Thursday, 12.—P. M., preached in Ascension Church. It is with great

This last week in March—Thursday 27-Monday 31—the Ohio Valley was 
visited by a disastrous flood, reaching the height of 59.9 feet, or six feet 
above that of 1884. As our peonle generally thought that nothing would 
ever go beyond the flood of 1884, they were surprised in an unprepared 
state, and great damage was done. We had 9 churches. 5 rectories and 3 
Parish Houses flooded. 


A considerable sum of money, about $1,600, has been received for the 
relief of these churches but as the receipts are not yet completed, nor the 
proper expenditures adjusted, I defer any further report. 

Meantime, I gratefully record that the New York Bible & Prayer Book 
Society has kindly offered to replace all prayer books, hymnals and Bibles 
damaged or lost in the flood. 


APRIL. 


Sunday, 6.—A. M. and P. M., preached in Christ Church, Clarksburg; 
confirmed 17. 

Friday, 11.—Preached in St. Paul’s, Weston, and confirmed 9. 

Sunday 13——A. M. and P. M., preached in St. John’s, Sutton. 

In addition to the charge of St. Paul’s, Weston; St. Paul’s Chapel, Middle 
Run, and St. John’s, Sutton, Mr. Lee has under his care 10 places with . 
19 families and 23 communicants, where occasional services are held 
as oppportunity may allow. He has been greatly helped in this mission- 
ary work by Rev. Mr. Chrisman. 

Wednesday, 16.—Preached in Grace Church. St. Marys, and confirmed 7. 
The basement of this church was flooded but not the main floor. I also 
visited New Martinsville and Sistersville. 

Thursday, 17.—Preached in the Baptist Church, Williamstown and con- 
firmed 3. Our own church was entirely swept away by the flood. I also 
visited Wheeling to consult with Mr. Brittingham and Mr. Stryker as to 
the damage done to St. Luke’s and St. Andrew’s Churches. 


20 THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


Friday, 18.—Visited Point Pleasant and found the church in such con- 
dition that the vestry despair of its repair. 


Sunday, 20.—A. M. and P. M., preached in Church of the Good Shepherd, 
Parkersburg, W. Va. 


Friday, 25.—Preached in Emmanuel, Keyser, and confirmed 10. The 
work at Keyser has so developed under Mr. Strider’s administration that 
the congregation is asking for his whole time. This is but a sample of the 
problems we have. No doubt that the church at Keyser would be greatly 
strengthened if they had the two Sundays Mr. Strider now gives to 
Davis, Thomas and Parsons, but then what would become of them, and it 
is hardly to be expected that the gain in Keyser would compensate for the 
loss at those three encouraging points. 


Sunday, 27.—In Grace ‘Church,’ Elkins, I ordained Deacon James H. 
Clarke. Rev. Mr. Magee presented the candidate and preached the sermon.

THE HOSPITALS. 


The work of the Hospitals has gone uninterruptedly on during the last 
year. The Sheltering Arms has cared for 1,432 patients; the Reynolds 
Memorial for 522. 

The graduates from the training school of the Sheltering Arms have been 
two; of the Reynolds Memorial, five. 

We have at times been anxious about the Sheltering Arms, owing to the 
disturbances connected with the strike, but in the providence of God all 
has turned out well and we have never had a more successful year. 

Rev. Mr. Chrisman. 

Those who read the Church News need no reminder of the activity fhe 
Rev. Mr. Chrisman, our General Missionary. But in addition t thir 
record of work, I am glad to testify to the efficiency of that work’ ancto 
the fact that Mr. Chrisman, by his general acceptability in all places which 
he has visited, has greatly aided and strengthened the Diocese. 

Rev. Mr. Spurr. { 

The Institutional work of the Diocese, i. €., its two hospitals, mentioned 
above, and its two schools (Ansted and The Blue Ridge Mountain) is still 
largely dependent on Mr. Spurr’s continued interest, and his active efforts 


in its behalf. It is only by his help that we have been able to carry on 
this work. ."

REV. A. J.-WILLIS. 


Since the last Council the. Diocese has experienced a great loss in the 
death of Rev. A. J. Willis, for. twenty-two years: Rector of Nelson Parish, 
Jefferson County. He was a member of the Standing Committee, and for 
a numberof: years Dean of the Eastern Convocation. Mr. Willis was 
faithful in all the relations.of life, and very happy -in ‘his parochial ad- 
ministration. He was often spoken. of-.as our typical country parson, and 
no man more entirely commanded the. confidence and esteem and affection 
of his Brethren, the Bishops and clergy of the Diocese. The whole com- 
munity respected and loved the man and sincerely mourns his loss. 


PARISHES AND MISSIONS. 


Just as our list of Communicants needs to be revised from time to time, 
so does our list of Parishes and: Missions: If anyone should persistently 
report 100 communicants when he only has 50, it would give a wrong idea 
of the strength of his church, and lead to awkward and embarrassing re- 
sults; and so when the General Board .of “Missions (and the church 
Almanacs as well) report West Virginia .as having upwards of. 90 ‘Par ishes 
and Missions when we have only 61, like awkward and embarrassine “re-

sults follow. I have tried to correct this in time past, but so far without 
success. I suppose that the mistake has arisen from the fact that, in the 
effort to strengthen our finances, we make our assessments and apportion- 
ments extend to points that are simply stations, and that, when a contri- 
bution is received from such place, it is put down by those not knowing 
the conditions as coming from a Parish or Mission, and so the number 
of such organizations is made to appear larger than it really is 

We would not discourage anyone from contributing to the work of the 
church. and so every locality should be, recognized, but it is, on many 
accounts, important to preserve our proper organizations, and, for pur- 
poses of administration, to keep up the distinction between Parishes and 
Missions and other points where we may have services from time to time. 

Article III. of the Constitution provides that each Parish shall be en- 
titled to three Lay Delegates and each Mission to one. 

But it is also provided in Canon 10, when any Parish shall be reported 
as having fewer than 12 communicants, or shall for three successive years 
fail to be represented by Lay Delegates in the Annual Council, and shall 
also fail to make the special offerings required by Canon 8, the Bishop shall 
report the matter to the Council, which shall then proceed to vote whether 
the Parish shall cease to exist as such or not. 

No such express provision is made in the case of Mission Stations, but 
since 12 communicants is in their case, as in that of a Parish, considered 

_ hecessary for organization, and since Canon 19 speaks of Missions lapsing, 
it is reasonable to suppose that, as far as possible, the same rule applies 
to Missions as to Parishes, for there seems to be no reason why they should 

- have superior privileges. 

As the Canon seems to me somewhat ambiguous, and this is such an im- 
portant matter that it ought not to be decided hastily, I will ask to refer 
it to a Committee to report at the next Council. or as soon as possible. 

In the meantime, in accordance with the provisions of Canon 10, the 
Bishop reports the following Parishes and Missions reported in 1912 as 
having fewer than twelve communicants:

PROPORTIONATE REPRESENTATION. 


‘Attention has recently been called to a matter which has been several 
times before the church, but has not as far as I know, ever been thoroughly 
discussed. I refer to the existing disproportion of Representation in 
the General Convention. 

Following the Analogy of Congress, our General Convention is com- 
posed of two houses. The House of Bishops corresponds to the Senate. 
Each Diocese and Missionary District is represented as on equal footing 
and so, as in the Senate, the States have the same representation, without 
regard to their size so it is with the Dioceses in the House of Bishops. In 
an important sense the’ Bishops may be said to represent the Dioceses. 
But the analogy fails in this that, in the House of Representatives, the 
delegations are of different size because they represent different propor- 
tions of the nation’s population, i. e. While New York and Rhode Island 
have each two Senators because they represent equally sovereign states, it 
would not seem fair to increase the three Representatives of the smaller 
state to forty-three, the number that represent New York. But, in the 
General Convention, our House of Deputies has an equal number of dele- 
gates from each one of sixty-seven unequal Dioceses. Eight represent New 
York with 90,000 communicants and eight represent others which have 
less than 3,000. 

It seems very plain that there is some anomaly here, but the proposals 
repeatedly made to correct it have failed because the very people who 
would have to vote to make the change have been the people who thought 
that they would be put to. disadvantage. 

I think that the mere statement of the prevailing conditions is the best 
argument against them, for certainly it seems hardly fair that in a repre- 
sentative body the smallest Diocese, with 18 clergy and 2,700 communicants, - 
should have the same voice in shaping legislation as has the largest with 
416 clergy or twenty-three times as many, and 90,000 communicants or 
thirty-three times as many as the smallest or that the ten smallest Dioceses, 
with 291 clergy and 32,445 communicants, ‘should have a voice equal to 
the ten largest Dioceses, with 1,986. clergy and 425,982 communicants. 
Such a condition seems contrary to the principles of equity and the true 


wW 
-~s, 


DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 


‘idea of a representative body, making the majority of the church liable 
to be overwhelmed by the minority in some important question of legisla- 
tion. To show how this matter has been considered in the past it may be 
sufficient to quote the words of the late venerable Bishop White, the first 
Bishop of Pennsylvania a man eminently cautious and conservative; he 
uses the following language as late as the year 1835, near the close of his 
long Episcopate, when his judgment had been fully ripened by observation 
and experience of men and of tendencies: 

“There may occur questions having important bearings on our doctrine 
or on our discipline, or on our worship; measures may be adopted by a 
majority, according to our Constitution, but dissented from by an acknowl- 
edged majority of our Episcopal population. It can hardly be supnvosed and 
is contrary to our observation of human nature that the measures would 
be submitted to” (Bishop White’s “Memoirs,” etc., p. 391, 2d Ed., 1836). 

The details of a scheme of proportionate representation would have to be 
worked out with care, but certainly some plan which would greatly lessen 
the present inequality could be adopted. And in the light of what has 
been already said in this address about our parishes and missions, it may 
well be a question whether we should not seek some remedy for unequal 
representation in our own Diocese. At present, our smallest parish has 
12 communicants and our largest 564. It cannot be right that both 
should have the same voice in the legislation of the church. It might 
be hard to make a perfect adjustment in the matter of representation, 
but much inequality would be remedied if some such scheme would be 
adopted as would give first to all missions one delegate as at present, 
then to all parishes up to 200 communicants two delegates, to all up to 
400 communicants three delegates and to all beyond that number four 
delegates, as the probability is that the number of missions and parishes 
may be somewhat reduced by consideration now being given the subject, it 
is not necessary to pursue the matter further. 


GIRLS FRIENDLY SOCIETY. 


I am asked to secure the interest of the ciergy in the Girls Friendly 
Society, and I am glad to commend it to all throughout the Diocese. 

This society has for its object the binding together of girls and young 
women for mutual help, and provide opportunities for healthy social recrea- 
tion. It also seeks to bring its members into the church, for it works on 
the belief that the ultimate source of better conditions for working girls 
and women is the good character of their average member, and that the 
Christian religion is the best means of its development. 

This society is said to have the largest membership of any Woman’s 
organization in the Angelican Communion, and although it may be most 
needed in large cities and most easily adapted to such surroundings yet 
it may well find a place in some of our cities and larger towns.

THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


SOCIAL SERVICE. 


The last General Convention: meeting in October, 1910, in Cincinnati, 
appointed a joint commission on social service, and we are requested to 
appoint a Diocesan Commission to co-operate with it. The general duty 
of such commissions is “to study and report upon social and industrial 
conditions; to co-ordinate the activities of the various organizations exist- 
ing in the church in the interests of social service; to co-operate with 
similar bodies in other communions; to encourage sympathetic relations 
between capital and labor; to deal according to their direction with these 
and kindred matters.” 

It seems to me that our duty will be discharged by the appointment of 
such commission and that it will not be necessary to enact an elaborate 
Diocesan Canon as proposed, nor to define powers beyond the Resolution 
of the General Convention, quoted above. I suggest that a Committee be 
appointed to report to this Council on the subject. 


THE BROTHERHOOD OF ST. ANDREW. 


There is one instrumentality for usefulness which seems strangely neg- 
lected in West Virginia. I refer to the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. The 
ideal of the Brotherhood has been “A Chapter in every Parish and Mission 
of the Church.” Certainly a determined effort along this line could not 
but be very helpful in connection with the widespread effort now being 
made to increase the active interest of laymen in the work of the church. 
I plead for a revival of interest in the Brotherhood of St. Andrew. 


THE SUSTENTATION FUND. 


It was with some hesitation that last year we added to existing agencies 
that of the Sustentation Fund. The alarming number of vacancies during 
the last few years was an imperative call that we promptly do something, 
at the time when the cost of living had risen so greatly, to give better supr 
port to those who, in our Missionary Fields, were bearing the burden and 
heat of the day and so, although apveals are generally unpopular, it was 
determined to make this effort, in which we are so far greatly encouraged. 
The fund has not been greatly used up to the beginning of this year, 
chiefly because various appropriations made from the Diocesan Missionary 
Society had, on account of vacancies, been turned back into the Treasury, 
and also because in June last we had a considerable balance on hand. On 
April 1st, however, we had to draw upon the Sustentation Fund for $600 
and it is probable that in the future we shall have to depend on it for at 
least $1,000 each quarter. 

We are apt to forget that all work is seriously hampered, if those who 
have the daily tasks the real work to do, are constantly in a condition of 
nerve-strain because of inadequate support. Those who work for Christ 


DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 29 


nn ee EEE EET IEEE SEESSSUSESSSnEnS nnn 


in the ministry of His church are in physical bodies. Ought we to allow 
them, in the Master’s business, to carry such strain for the lack of letting 
others know their needs? 

It is a serious question how long this special agency ought to be and 
can be kept in successful operation The: work must go on; the question 
is, how shall it be maintained? In my judgment it would be the part of 
wisdom for our churches gradually, so to increase their contributions to 
Diocesan Missions that the Sustentation Fund would after awhile be ren- 
dered unnecessary, and so laid aside as an agency that had done its work. 
It is pleasant to think of a few persons contributing so largely to the com- 
mon work; but it would not be well for the great mass of our veople to 
lean upon a few, however liberal they might be. Let the Diocese, as such, 
through its members, whether in large or small churches and Missions, 
assume and carry out their responsibility for work that is not beyond their 
strength. If all of our churches and Missions would contribute annually 
to Diocesan Missions at the rate of $1.50 per member, the work would be 
done. Might it not be well to begin to make such effort at once, having 
special regard to those who at present fall largely behind. 


CHANGE OF NAME. 


The proposal to change the name of the Church is one that, it seems, will 
not down, and I have more than once spoken on the subject and do not feel 
at liberty to withdraw active opposition to a measure, which, however 
much desired by some, I believe would bring discord and confusion into 
our ranks, put the church in a false light before the people at large, and 
so gravely compromise our position with the Protestant public about us 
that it would greatly hinder our growth and usefulness. 

I spoke of the proposal to change the Name of the Church, but I shall 
be more accurate and clear if I put the question somewhat differently,, and 
speak of the proposal to dron the word Protestant from the title page of 
the Prayer Book. For, after all that the advocates of change have written 
and spoken, this is what they all come back to, this is the main desire, the 
chief purpose in all this controversy. Until that is done, nothing is done, 
and, if that be done, the particular form the title page may take is of 
secondary interest and importance. 

It has been said, and I think with great show of reason, that the objective 
point of many of those who desire the change proposed is, in and by the 
name they seek to give, the assertion of what they call the church's non- 
sectarian character, ecclesiastical uniqueness, or, in other words, 
practical denial that the other Protestant bodies are really churches. 

I do not intend then today to consume your time by discussing the many 
high-sounding names which have been proposed, and attempting to decide 
which of them best accords, or fails to accord. with historic and essential 
facts, but would rather direct you to the consideration of the animus of 


the 


30 THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COUNGIL 


this movement which we may gather from the express statement of its 
advocates, and their general position in the church. 


I think I shall be understood when I say, that in the great division 
which took place in Christendom in the Sixteenth Century, and which we 
generally refer to as the Reformation, that our church put herself unmis- 
takably on the Protestant, and not on the Roman, side of the controversy; 
and so far I have heard of there is no good reason for changing this position 
or obscuring our standing in regard to it. Nor did there seem to be any de- 
sire to change it until after the Tractarian movement seventy years ago; 
_a desire, be it said, which grew up slowly, and has shown its full strength 
only in the'last few years, and has reached its supreme expression in the 
statement of a great English leader, which seems to be accepted on this 
side of the water that the principles of the Reformation are things to be 
repented of in tears and ashes. We naturally desire to commend our 
Church to that part of the Christian world in which we dwell, and great 
claims are made as to what would be the effect upon our American people 
of the change proposed. But I do not believe those claims well founded; 
indeed, so far from it, I believe, that for every one who come to us on 
account of the dropping of the word Protestant, that ten, perhaps a 
hundred, would be repelled. Take West Virginia. our own little corner of 
the country, for illustration: In a population of about a million and a 
quarter, we have a scant 6,000 communicants, while the Protestant 
Churches about_us have 250,000. It is hard to see what we would gain by 
dropping from our title a name which expresses our fellowshiv in the 
Christian faith with them in clearer terms than any other word can 
possibly do. This consideration would, of course, have no force with those 
who do not care for that fellowship, and want to keep aloof from the 
Protestant churches about them as far as they can. And the real truth 
in this matter reveals itself in the recent utterance of one of the most 
zealous advocates of this change when he said, “To dissociate ourselves in 
the popular mind from those who profess and call themselves Protestants 
nowadays, is the chief reason why we want the change of name.” 


Of course, there are always many exceptions but in speaking of the 
great mass of the advocates of the proposed change, it is fair to say 
that they seem to me to have drifted away from the positions of our 
church in the Reformation Settlement as it was generally accepted for 
two hundred years, and this accounts for the varieties of faith and practice 
to be found among us. Unpleasant as it may be to acknowledge it, we 
cannot disguise the fact that these varieties are at times so great that in 
Prayer Book language they may be called unhappy divisions. No doubt 
this may be insisted on and emphasized in such a way as to obscure the 
unity we enjoy, and make us lose sight of the fact that in these disturbing 
differences we are often paying the price of our great advantages in the 
direction of comprehension, and that we are thus troubled because we 


DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA aL 


cannot expect to have the narrow security of the sect, whose aim is to 
exclude and the broad catholicity of the church whose aim is to include. 

But it is hardly less than alarming when such a distinguished and in- 
fluential man as the head of the English Church Union, which has about 
5,000 clerical members, has said: “It is possible to minimize the conflicting 
elements and the points of divergence within the Church, but minimize 
them as you will, make what allowance for them you like, recognize even 
up to a certain point their providential character and the consequent duty 
of bearing with them and utilizing them in the interests of truth, yet, 
after all, it remains true that within the church there are something like 
two Religions, and that it is only possible to tolerate a condition of things 
so contradictory to the office and nature of the church, on condition that 
nothing is done by those in authority to make the recovery of Catholic 
Doctrine and practice more difficult, or to consolidate the position of those 
within the church, who, from a Catholic point of view, ought never to have 
been allowed to occupy the position they now hold.” 


He says also in the same article, “Since the 16th Century, Protestantism 
has affected a’ de facto’ lodgment within the borders of the church, and this 
he characterizes as an anomaly in itself hardly tolerable.” This, after a 
long era of what we call good will, is the most aggressive and threatening 
pronunciamento I have ever seen. It is like serving notice on those who 
are in anywise infected by this intrusive Protestantism which, he says, 
“somehow or other effected a de facto lodgment in the church” that they 
had better set their house in order. Is it any wonder, with such authora- 
tive words sounding in our ears, that we oppose the movement to drop 
the word Protestant from our Title? 


I think this may be stated without fear of contradiction that, after all 
the discussion of the years recently past, it now appears, aS was not 
originally made clear, that the moving cause of the effort for change, now 
being made, is an unwillingness longer to bear a name which, though for 
several hundred years after the Reformation was not esteemed a mis- 
nomer by any considerable number of our people, is now by many so 
esteemed, because of a growth of sentiment antagonistic to what the name 
has always connected. ; 

There can be no doubt but that, on the questions involved, two narties in 
the church differ “in toto,” so much so, indeed, that many outsiders wonder 
how we can all remain in the same organization, for, as Lord Halifax has 
said, “there are within the church something like two religions.’”’ The 
simple explanation is that, as far as the standards of our church are con- 
cerned, we all occupy common ground. and in regard to other things 
which, however important, are yet secondary, we lay stress on our agree- 
ments, and bear with each other in our disagreements, and that is the 
proper attitude for the members of a Catholic church. We have been 
successfully doing that for years. 


32 THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


You find a striking illustration of the wisdom of this spirit and method 
in all the procedure in connection with the revision of the Prayer Book a 
few years ago. Of course, every change did not please everybody, but 
nothing was done to disturb the balance of Doctrine and Practice between 
those who differed so widely one from the other, and so the result was 
accepted without disturbing the peace of the church. 

But now it is proposed, by dropping the word Protestant, to strike direct- 
ly at this balance, and by the elimination of a significant name to invalidate, 
or at least to discount, what in the minds of many of her children this 
church has always stood for, and it seems not too much to say that, if the 
word Protestant be dropped from our Title, it will be naturally claimed by 
those who carry such movement through that they are the true exponents 
of the Catholicity or orthodoxy of the church which changed her name at 
their instance in order to give expression or emphasis to certain ideals 
which they represent, And then what will follow Something like this, 
I believe. “At first the Protestant element will be treated as a sufferance, 
and then effort will be made to crush or crowd it out.” 


It has been asked by those who desire to eliminate the word Protestant 
from our Title: Why should the Protestant party insist upon forcing this 
term upon others? And that is a very extraordinary way of stating the 
case, and quite unwarranted. We who resist giving it uy cannot be said 
to be forcing it on others. We are seeking, rather, simply to retain it as 
our legitimate heritage. The term Protestant is no party word, but only 
one of the authorized terms borne by this branch of the Holy Catholic 
Church ever since she started on her independent career, a name borne to 
help to designate the church properly, and express to the world her char- 
acter. Protestant, in our title, is a word for which the whole church is 
responsible, and cannot by any reasonable stretch be called a party word. 

It may be counted very unfortunate that we have two such radically op- 
posed camps within the broad area of our church, but I think it can hardly 
be denied, nor can it be denied that the term Protestant differentiates the 
opposing sections of the church better than any other word—what then 
can be done? Why, do as we have been doing. Let these opposing sections, 
however illogically, live and work together, laying stress on our agree- 
ments, and bearing with each other in our disagreements, legislating for 
the greater activity and efficiency and adaptability of the church, and not 
trying in any way to get an advantage one over the other. There has 
been in this way a balance between the two sections of the church pre- 
served during all these years; why not keep it, and go on with the work 
which God has given us to do. 

We have learned a lesson often hard to learn, that the truth is a very 
large thing, and that it is presumption in any one of us to think that he 
holds it all, and so our wisdom is to agree to differ. It is nossible, if not 
probable, that if either wing of the church were allowed full scope, not

only to express their views, which liberty they already enjoy, but to 
graft them authoritatively in so many words on our present standards, 
changing those standards where they seemed to contradict, or too weakly 
to express the desired emphasis, so that one fixed interpretation would be 
imposed upon everybody, that a great many of the other wing would feel 
that they were excluded from our communion. Is it not then our wisdom 
to preserve the in statu quo, and to continue to provide for the difficulties 
arising from our differences, by exercising the liberty of interpretation 
which we now enjoy. It is not a question of choosing a name for the 
Church, but of changing a name under which we have worked successfully 
for more than a hundred years, and that is a very different thing. Since 
the wide divergence among the members of our church is indicated by 
the attitude of their minds towards the term Protestant, and what it de- 
notes, would it be wise, think you, to disturb the existing balance by 
striking out this word, which action for reasons more or less clearly de- 
fined, would be regarded by a very large part of the church as having a 
grave doctrinal significance and hostile intent. If such a thing were done, 
I should greatly fear for the peace of the church. But after all that I have 
said, and that others have said, some may still be inclined to ask: “Is not 
the whole thing a good deal of a tempest in a teapot.” What’s in a name, 
after all? Does it make any great and vital difference The subject is so 
important in my eyes that I am going to speak of it somewhat further. 
using substantially the words. of another. 

We answer the question propounded by asking another. If it does not 
make any great and vital difference, how do you account for this insistent. 
persistent, in season and out of season demand that the name of the 
Church be changed after all these years, and why, in the interest of this 
change, is all the heaviest artillery directed at the one word Protestant? 
Doubtless there are a few who do not like our present name, because it 
seems to them too long and cumbersome. and a few do not like the name 
Protestant because somehow it offends their aesthetic sense. But these 
objectors, in the present controversy, do not count for much. The great 
majority of those who object to our present name, object to it for a very 
different reason, and are quite frank in stating what that reason is. They 
object to the word Protestant because Protestantism always has been, is 
now and always must be at war with their conception of religion, and their 
idea of the functions of the church, and so it would seem, not only by this 
definite warfare against the word Protestant and all that it suggests, i. e., 
those principles of the Reformation which are said by some of their leaders 
to be things to be repented of with tears and ashes, it would seem as if 
they wanted to translate not only themselves, but all of us together, out of 
the Protestant Episcopal Church into a church which looks backward for 
its inspiration and ideal which finds its model in the ecclesiastical model 
of the Middle Ages, and the mould for its teaching in the sacerdotalism 
from which the Reformation set us free. 


34 THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


A name merely as a name is a matter of relatively small importance, but 
principles are not of small importance, and with this proposed change of 
name there is inevitably involved a change of principle. The word Catholic 
is certainly a beautiful word, and has its place in our Creeds. We believe 
in the Holy Catholic Church. But because it has been taken from its high 
place in the Creed to signify some one branch of the church or only a 
party in the church, the word Catholic seems now with many, perhaps I 
may say the vast majority, to stand for a view of religion a system of 
teaching, a conception of the meaning and functions of the church that 
they cannot call primitive and Apostolic. 


We are the heirs of a priceless heritage of truth and beauty from the 
past, but the mere fact that the church of the Middle Ages, undivided save 
for its separation from the Eastern church, and therefore claiming for 
itself the title “Catholic,” the mere fact that that church held a certain 
view in regard to the soul’s relation to God, which we believe to be a mis- 
taken view; that it sanctioned certain practices, many of them misleading 
or trivial; that it built up a monstrous ecclesiastical system, and imposed 
it upon men’s minds and consciences; that it borrowed from the Jewish 
Temple and from pagan altars the idea of a vicarious and sacrificing 
priesthood, mediators between God and man, an idea of which there is not 
the least trace in the teaching of Jesus Christ, or in the practice of the 
early uncorrupted church. The fact that this is so, lays upon us no 
obligation to reproduce those errors in the fuller light into which God 
has led us. If these mistakes, these bunglings of the truth, were Catholic, 
that is, universal in the Middle Ages, then we say more should be the pity 
for the Middle ages, and more our thankfulness that they are not, in the 
true sense, Catholic, that is universal, in this day of ours; and the more 
earnest should be our insistence that they shall not again be imposed upon 
the Church. 


Whatever gloss some may be disposed to nut upon the word Protestant, 
yet historically and actually it properly stands for the truth winnowed 
from the chaff through centuries of struggle and conflict, of doubt and 
misunderstanding, of stern loyalty to duty and of heroic suffering of mind 
and body. It stands for liberty, the right of the individual conscience to 
judge of truth and falsehood, of right and wrong; the right to summon 
before it and pass judgment upon, the claims of whatever and whosoever 
demands its obedience, and would impose authority upon it; the right of 
each man of us, of every child of God, to go to God, not through the ranks 
of a mediating privileged priesthood, but simply and directly as a son may 
go into his father’s presence. It stands for the hard but soul-growing re- 
ligion of doing right, of personai responsibility and personal integrity, as 
against the attractively easy but demoralizing religion which lifts the 
burden of responsibility from the individual, and lays it upon the church. 
It stands for these, even though it sometimes seems to forget or slight the

little things, the mint and anise, and the golden candlesticks, and the 
golden snuffers. 


In conclusion, I would say that the controversy now carried on around 
this word Protestant is, I believe, seriously affecting the influence of the 
Church with the great mass of the people, because it produces a general un- 
certainty as to what, beyond its accepted standards, this church really 
stands for. 

We occupy now a very responsible, but at the same time a very delicate, 
position, in that we have the possibility of doing a good work towards uni- 
fying the great divisions of Christendom, but not, I believe, unless we 
retain our Protestant character. 

It has been recently well said that the burden of forcing this question 
continually upon the church is a serious matter. We should not be com- 
pelled to bear with it when so many weighty matters are waiting for our 
attention, and unsolved problems of great moment are demanding solu- 
tion. For the last thirty-six years, despite petition after petition, the 
General Convention has decided against any change, and on the only 
occasion offered to the church to vote, as a whole, an overwhelming ma- 
jority of our church membership expressed themselves as opposed to any 
change in the title of the church. Is it not time to have peace? 


Rev. Dr. Brittingham moved that a special committee be appointed 
to consider that part of the Bishop’s address relating to change of 
name of the church. Adopted. 


The Bishop Coadjutor appointed the following: 


Rev. J. Brittingham, D.D. Col. R. P. Chew.

consisting of two clergymen and two laymen to consider that part 
of the Bishop’s address relating to Parishes and Missions. Carried.

Rev. W H Meyers Mr. J. C. Brady. 

The Rev. Mr. Stryker moved that the question of proportionate 
representation be referred to Committee on Constitution and Canons. 
Adopted. 

A Memorial and Declaration of Rights from the Diocese of Virginia 
was presented and referred to the Committee on the Change of Name. 


36 THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


The Rev. Dr. Moore submitted the Report of the Trustees of the 
Permanent Fund. The appended resolution was adopted. [See 
Appendix A.] 


On motion of Rev. Dr. Moore a Memorial Page to Mr. H. H. Moss 
was ordered to be placed in the Journal. 


The Rev. Mr. Stryker submitted the following report of the 
Committee on Religious Education. 


The committee on Education respectfully reports that its duties under 
the canon appear to make plain the need for some radical improvement 
concerning “‘the maintenance of those studying to enter Holy Orders. 

By canon every parish and mission are charged with the duty of taking 
an offering each Ash Wednesday for Religious and Theological Education. 
The review of the parochial records in this respect does not show an en- 
couraging state of affairs, and during the Council year ending April 30th, 
1913, of the 61 parishes and missions in the Diocese, only 20 have con- — 
tributed $162.32 to this worthy cause.. We recognize the difficulties in- 
volved because of the small and scattered points where services are only 
occasionally held, and because of the fact that Ash Wednesday is not, per- 
haps, a day to expect large things, either in the way of attendance or 
giving; but we maintain that more than 33 per cent. of our parishes and 
missions should give, and that the amounts given should be much larger. 

The present condition of things is this. There are now three of our 
men preparing for Holy Orders who last Council year received from the 
Educational Society $675.00, mot a sufficient sum for three men situated 
as they are. This sum, therefore, has been supplemented by additions from 
our Bishops aggregating $425.00. 

Your committee asks, if, inasmuch as our men received $675 during the 
past year, whether our offerings of $162.32 are either worthy of commenda- 
tion or in any sense representative And we furthermore inquire whether 
it is altogether right and prover for us to allow things to remain as they 
are, thereby making it necessary for our Bishops to meet the need here 
by giving, aS now seems essential, additional help from funds in their 
keeping? 

We are preaching and praying and pleading for an increase of the 
ministry. We know that the number of those preparing for Holy Order is. 
many times, pitiably small. We know that even in our own Diocese, where 
financial strength is not commensurate with the needs, the greatest diffi- 
culty is to get men, not money. And yet we have not shown that our 
responsibilities in the direction of the maintenance of those studying for 
Holy Orders are seriously recognized. Is this just or fair; is it all right? 


or 


DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 34 


Sacrifice and self-denial are noble acts, and they are faced and accented 
by every true man entering the ministry, but these rights cannot be urged 
in justification of any lack of fraternal interest in those who belong to us 
and who are looking forward to working with us or after us. The spirit 
of real Brotherhood means a showing of deen interest in others—an in- 
terest which is not least expressed in rendering material assistance. 

We know that the hearts of many are ready to respond to the call of 
fraternal need, and we confidently believe that, if adequate and careful 
preparation were made every year, both as to, presenting this cause of 
Religious Education and planning for the annual offering a vast improve- 
ment would be noted, and we should stand unashamed before our record 
of contributions to this noble and holy work. 

We offer the following resolution: 

Resolved, that this Diocese pledges itself to raise $500.00 annually for 
Religious and Theological Education. and that the clergy by preaching, 
personal and other appeals, bring this important matter to the notice of 
their people. 

It seems that $500.00, which is less than ten cents from each of our 
communicants, is not in any way an excessive assessment, and that the 
preparation for the ministry is a subject in which no communicant of 
the Church can have anything but a live and personal interest. 

Respectfully submitted, 

LEONARD W. S. STRYKER, LAWRENCE E. SANDS, 

JAMES L. FISH, ; G. A. ASCHMAN, 

W. H. MEYERS. 


The appended resolution was amended to read as follows: 


Resolved, that the Diocese is urged to raise a minimum of $500 per an- 
num for Religious and Theological Education to be raised by an offering 
taken on Ash Wednesday and any Sunday in Lent, 


The Council adjourned until 9:30 A. M. tomorrow.

Rev. R. D. Roller, D. D. Mr. W. G. Peterkin. 
Rev. John §. Douglas. 


48 THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


The election of clerical deputies to the General Convention was 
the next order of business. 


© 


The Bishop appointed Rev. A. B. Mitchell and Mr. HE. 8. Hebden 
tellers. 


The following clergy were nominated. 


Rev. Dr. Roller. Rev. Dr. Moore. 
Rev. Dr. Brittingham. Rev. Mr. Chrisman. 
Rev. Mr. Douglas. Rev. Mr. Alfriend. 


Rey. Mr. Gibbons. 


Pending the count of ballots the Rev. Dr. Moore presented this 
report on Parishes and Missions, and moved the Continuance of the’ 
Committee which was adopted. 


The Special Committee, to whom was referred so much of the Bishop’s 
address as relates to certain parishes and missions, which he is required 
by Canon 10 to report to the Council for failure to comply in some respects 
with the requirements of the Canons or to meet all the conditions of con- 
tinued organization, respectfully reports that it has had the matter under 
consideration and is of the opinion that each case will probably demand 
separate examination and full inquiry into the surrounding circumstances, 
such as cannot be given to it during the session of the Council. Your 
committee would, therefore, ask to be continued until the next session of 
the Council with leave to make during the recess any possible investigation 
into the questions involved, as they affect any of these narishes or missions 
so listed in the Bishop’s address. Your Committee would also recommend 
the adoption of the following resolution, viz.: 

Resolved, That the attention of the ministers having charge of these 
several points be particularly called to the fact that the status of these 
special charges with reference to the Council of the Diocese is under in- 
vestigation. 

Your committee is further of the opinion that, while the Canons on new 
parishes (No. 10) and on organizing missions (No. 19) may appear to be 
somewhat obscure, so as to afford ground for the view that they seem to be 
ambiguous, as the Bishop in his address indicates, yet a careful examina- 
tion of them will relieve this appearance of ambiguity or obscurity. 

Under Canon 19, any number of persons, including not less than twelve 
communicants, may associate themselves together as a Mission station.” 
Such action may be taken, either within, or without, an existing parish, 
but in any case certain specified conditions must be met. Sec. 3 of this 
Canon provides for the disposition of any property held by the Mission, if 
it is within a parish and lapses, No definition of what constitutes such 


DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 49 


lapse is given and it is conceivable that a controversy might arise upon this 
point, which would require the intervention of the council for its decision. 
While twelve communicants are needed to organize a Mission, there is 
no requirement that this number shall be necessary to its continued exist- 
ence. Indeed, it would appear that an organized Mission might possibly 
continue, even though no communicant should be left in connection with it. 
Now Canon 10 -refers to a different matter from Canon 19. Any twelve 
communicants, as we have seen, can form a Mission. The same number of 
persons can form a parish, but two new conditions must be met—lst, That 
they are not members of an existing parish, and 2nd, that three of the 
twelve shall be males. When such a parish has beén formed, there are 
two sets of circumstances which may terminate its parochial organization: 
1. If it is reported as having fewer than twelve communicants. and has 
failed to make the snecial offerings required by Canon. 
2. If for three successive years it has failed to be represented by lay 
delegates in the Council, and has failed to make such offerings. 
In either case we construe the Canon to mean a total failure in the mat- 
ter of offerings. 
The Bishop reports the fact to the Council, which votes upon the status of 
’ the parish and may decide that it shall cease to be a parish and become an 
organized Mission.

The resolutions sent down by the General Convention with regard 
to constitutional changes, as reported on page 63 of the Journal of 
1911, and referred to the Committee on Constitution and Canons, 
were taken up. The Rev. Dr. Moore moved the adoption of the first 
resolution. His motion was lost.

The Rev. G. A. Gibbons presented a rseolution in regard to change 
of name of the Church. It was referred to the committee having 
charge of the part of the Bishops address on that subject. 


The Rev. Dr. Moore offered a resolution on the same subject which 
was referred to the same committee. 


The Rev. L. W. S. Stryker for the Committee, presented the follow- 
ing Report on the State of the Church. The appended resolutions 
were adopted: 


REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE STATE OF THE CHURCH. 


While much of the important subject matter of the Bishop’s address has 
been properly referred to special committees at this Council, this commit- 
tee believes there is much suggested otherwise by the Episcopal ad- 
dress which should be called to the attention of this Council. 

The Sheltering Arms Hospital, our fine Diocesan institution, makes its 
appeal throughout the Diocese and the resnonse thereto is indicative of 
an interest which is permanent and real. But we believe that there is 
room for an increased personal interest on the part of many who could aid 
materially in the development of this hospital, which. though well 
/ equipped. has a mission, the accomplishment of which demands, we believe, 
both an active and personal interest on the nart of a number of intelligent 


DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 57 


and able individuals, both men and women, who can, by gifts, keep our 
institution at Hansford up to the highest point of efficiency and equipment. 
It is for this reason that your committee offers a resolution concerning the 
generous acts of certain individuals in the Diocese which have done much 
to help our hospital in the way just indicated. 


Attention has already been called in another report to the importance 
of supporting postulants and candidates for Holy Orders. Your com- 
mittee would here call attention to the other side of this question of 
clerical support—the help given to those who have worked in the ministry 
until ill health or age has brought to them and their families the need for 
relief from the anxieties due to lack of the necessities of life. The Gen- 
eral Clergy Relief Fund needs no defense here, but it is proper, we believe, 
to show that, while the offerings last Council year were more than double 
the amount paid to our two Diocesan beneficiaries in that time, the 
number of parishes contributing during last year was only sixteen out of 
our total of 61. This we offer as a proof that the principles and purposes 
of the General Clergy Relief Fund need to be better understood and appre- 
ciated by the church in the Diocese. It is not whether we give as much 
as our own beneficiaries receive year by year; it is that all parishes may 
recognize and support the principle that he who has borne the burden and 
given unselfish and faithful service, may not in his need and weakness, 
‘suffer because he has not. 


Your committee believes that the canon relating to the Council’s action 
in the case of a parish which fails to measure up to its requirements 
‘should be changed in order that greater vitality may be instilled into the 
parochial machine, whatever its size. That some of our parishes do not 
fulfill all of the three requirements under the present canon has been 
shown in the Bishop’s address, and we offer a resolution which is intended 
to arouse our parishes to a deeper realization of their responsibilities. 
No parish, we claim, should have less than twelve communicants or for 
three successive years fail to be represented at the annual Council, or fail 
to make all the special offerings required by canon. Failure on any one of 
these three points should be taken as a sign of conditions which need 
‘both explanation and improvement. 

Another matter of importance is the need for a larger body of conse- ‘* 
crated laymen to assist in the maintenance and extension of the Church’s 
Diocesan work. There are centers in the Diocese where laymen may be 
organized into efficient bodies, as Lay Readers’ Leagues or similar asso- 
ciations, and these men could move out to the assistance of the general 
missionary in his work, or minister to the feeble missions within reach of 
the centers at which these companies of men were formed. We believe 
that the best material from which those may be secured who will thus 
serve the Church, is to be found in the members of the Brotherhood of 
St. Andrew, which Brotherhood exists solely to serve and to pray. We 


58 THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


beg, therefore, by a resolution, to suggest that the proved worth of Brother- 
hood of St. Andrew chapters in this respect be again brought to the notice 
of the Council. There are men to be found, of course, who are ready to 
serve the Church faithfully and ably as lay readers, and Sunday School 
workers, but the Brotherhood of St. Andrew atmosphere and spirit go far 
towards helping any man to say from his heart, “Here am I, send me.” 


Your committee has not failed to note the signs of encouragement and 
growth in the Diocesan life, for all of which we are profoundly thankful; 
but we feel that the suggestions we have made in this report and the reso- 
lutions which follow may serve to bring certain important matters to the 
attention of the Council, may introduce some helnful discussions, and 
may thus serve to quicken and strengthen the life of the Church within 
our Diocese. 

We offer these resolutions: 

1. Resolved, that this Council records its appreciation and gratitude 
because of the gift to the Sheltering Arms Hospital, of a complete set of 
chinaware, consisting of 1744 pieces, upon which appear the monogram of 
the Hospital, the donors being three generous men of the Diocese. 

Resolved further, that the Council also expresses its thanks to Mr. B. W. 
Peterson, through whose generosity the Nurses’ Home at this Hospital has 
received two good coats of paint, of which the home was sadly in need. 

2. Resolved, that the following canonical amendment be referred to 
the Committee on Constitution and Canons:— 

Amend section two of canon ten as follows: After the word “Diocese” 
insert the following clause in place of that in the present canon; “Or 
shall fail to make all the special offerings required by canon.” 

3. Whereas, the work of the Diocese calls for an increase in the number 
of devoted workers; and 

Whereas, the Brotherhood of St. Andrew is one of the recognized fields: 
from which to secure such workers who will serve as efficient lay readers 
and other helpers; Therefore be it 

Resolved, that the establishment of chapters of the Brotherhood of St. 
Andrew in the parishes be again brought to the attention of the Council, 
and that effort be made to create therefrom Lay Readers’ Leagues, whose 
members under the direction of the Bishops, the rectors and the general 
missionary, Rev. W. P. Chrisman, may go out from certain centers to 
conduct services, and in other ways maintain and advance the Church’s 
work, 

Resolved, that the travelling expenses of the members of these Lay 
Readers’ Leagues, and of any lay reader or layman thus serving the Church 


DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 59 


in the Diocese, be met, upon presentation of properly attested report of 
such expenses, from the Diocesan Missionary Fund.

ease a 


The Council was called to order by the Bishop and opened with 
prayer by the Rev. G. A. Gibbons. 


The minutes of yesterday were read and approved. 


The Rev. 8. 8. Moore, D.D., for the Committee on Constitution 
and Canons submitted the following reports: 


Noni. 


The Committee on Constitution and Canons, to which was referred 
at a previous session of the Council this resolution, viz: 


Resolved, That the Committee on Constitution and Canons be requested 
to formulate and report to the next Council, if possible, a canon creating 
the office of Arch-deacon in the Diocese and defining the duties of that 
office— 

Respectfully reports that it has had the same under consideration and 
that in its judgment it is inexpedient at this time to incorporate in our 
laws such a canon as that suggested. 

We have ascertained by inquiry that the practice in connection with the 
use of such a title and the authority, by which it is conferred, vary in 
different dioceses. We believe that in the present instance the object de- 
sired can be attained by the adoption of the following resolution, which we 
offer: 

Whereas, We recognize the successful work done by the General Mis- 


60 THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL CoUNCIL 


sionary, and we feel that another title would lend dignity and give standing 
to his office and thus add to his efficiency, therefore, 

Be it Resolved, That the Bishop be requested to confer the title of Arch- 
deacon upon him. 


Bishop Gravatt offered this as a substitute which was adopted: 


Resolved, That the office of Arch-deacon be established in the Diocese 
and that the Bishop of the Diocese appoint such arch-deacons as in his 
judgment he may deem wise. 


No. 2. 


The Committee on Constitution and Canons, to which was referred so 
much of the address of the Bishop as relates to proportionate representa- 
tion in the Diocesan Council, respectfully recommends that this matter 
remain in the hands of the Committee for examination by them in relation 
to Constitution and Canons and for report and recommendation to this 
Council at its next session. 


Adopted. 


Now3: 


The Committee on Constitution and Canons, to which was referred a 
“Proposed Canon for Diocesan Board of Religious Education,” respectfully 
reports that it has considered the matter referred to it and is of the opinion 
that the adoption of the proposed canon would necessitate changes in 
present canons No. 21 (Committee on Education) and 22 (Sunday School 
Committee). Careful study and comparison of the three should be made, 
which can scarcely be done at this late hour of the Council, and your Com- 
mittee would, therefore, recommend that further consideration of this 
matter be postponed to the next session of Council. 


Adopted. 


The Rev. J. S. Alfriend read the report of the Committee on 
Parochial Reports.

The Rev. Dr. Brittingham of Special Committee on Bishop’s 
Address presented a report relating to change of name. The report 
was recommitted. | 


Mr. L. E. Sands was authorized to pay the apportionment of this 
Diocese for expenses of the Council of the Third Missionary Depart- 


ment. 


The Rev. Dr. Moore made this report: 


The Executive Committee of the Diocesan Missionary Society submits this 
report of its work for the past year. Receipts from all sources have been 
Si,.71251, of which the Sunday Schools have contributed $1,322.36 and 
$600 have come from the Sustentation Fund. 

Expenses have been $137.40 and the sum of $7,261.66 has been expended 
for the salaries of missionaries. With this twenty-one men have been aided, 
of whom two have now removed from the Diocese and two have entered 


into rest. 
We have now a balance in the treasury of $2,442.76. More than $200 less 


than the balance at the beginning of the past year. 
This brief statement is a sufficient indication of the need of continued 
and unremitting effort upon the part of all to secure the needed means to 


carry on our work. 
S. ScoLtay Moore, Secretary. 


The Council took a recess until 2 p. m. 


200° Pe BT 


The Bishop called the Council to order. 


The Rev. 8. 8. Powell offered a resolution in regard to a physi- 
cian’s certificate before marriage. 


A commission on Social Service was appointed consisting of 


Rev. B. M. Spurr. Mr. J. C. Brady. 
Rev. L. W. S. Stryker. 


The request for joint commission on Social Service, was referred 


DIOCESE OF WEST VIRGINIA 63 


to this commission, as was the resolution of the Rev. Mr. Powell. 


The Rev. Mr. Stryker offered this resolution which was adopted: 


Resolved, That the proposed amendments to Canon 20 of the Diocesan 
Code be referred to the Committee on Constitutions and Canons with direc- 
tion to report at the next meeting of the Council. 


The Rev. Mr. Stryker offered this, which was adopted: 


Whereas, The General Convention has recommended that there be in 
each Diocese and parish Committees of laymen auxiliary to the Board of 
Missions: 

Therefore, be it, 

Resolved, That this Council recommends and urges the formation of a 
Men’s Missionary Committee in each parish, whose duty it shall be to enlist 
by an every member canvass the active support of every person of the 
parish in the Missionary work of the Church, especially by the introduction 
of the duplex envelope system. 


The Special Committee on that part of the Bishop’s Address 
relating to change of name, whose report was recommitted, presented 
the following report which was adopted: 


Resolved, That we, members of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the

Dr. G. A. Aschman presented the following which was adopted: 


Whereas, medical research has proved that many diseases are trans- 
mitted through labial contact with vessels used consecutively by many 
people; and 

Whereas, the knowledge of such facts has caused many communicants 
to become troubled, and has also, we believe, interfered with their de- 
votional enjoyment of the great service of the Church; and 

Whereas, for the sake of the peace of mind of the Church, it is wise to 
be prepared for any nossible action which may be taken by civil authority 
concerning the results of medical research as these results appear to bear 
upon our present mode of administration in the Holy Communion; and 


64 THIRTY-SIXTH ANNUAL COUNCIL 


Whereas, the mode of administration by dipping the bread into the wine, 
known as Intinction, has been recognized and practiced, as expedient, in 
cases of emergency:—Therefore, be it 

Resolved, That in our'opinion the following rubric should be inserted 
among or after those at the end of the office for the Communion of the 
Sick, or in some other proper place in the Book of Common Prayer; to-wit: 

“In times of contagious sickness or disease, the Priest may administer 
both elements at the same time, by dipping the bread into the wine, and 
placing the species in the mouth of the communicant, saying, when so 
administering the Holy Communion, both Words of Administration in full 
to each such communicant.” 

Resolved, That the foregoing preamble and resolution be placed in the 
hands of our deputies to General Convention for presentation to that body 
at the time of its meeting in New York next October.

Diocese of Virginia.

REV. ANDREW JOHNSON WILLIS 


Born at “Rockwood,” Orange Co., Va., July 10th, 1858. 


Died at Kearneysville, W. Va., Oct. 4th, 1912. 


Ordained Deacon in St. James Church, Richmond, Va., by 
Bishop Whittle, May 16, 1883. Advanced to the priesthood 
at the Virginia Seminary, June 27th, 1884, by Bishop 
Randolph. 


Served his Diaconate in Middlesex and Northumberland 
Counties. Ministered in King George Co., Va., 1884-1890. 
Became Rector of Nelson Parish, Jefferson Co., W. Va., 1890, 
and served faithfully at this post until the call came to 
higher service. 


Devout, kind and sympathetic, he was always the people’s 
friend as well as the peoples priest; his quite exceptional 
business and execution ability made him a natural leader of 
men; and his unswerving fidelity and constancy insured his 
success in the various details of parish work. As the Rector 
of a country parish, where the best years of his life were 
spent, he was ideal, moving along the country-side among 
the people, preaching and ministering to those in whose 
hearts his memory will linger fresh and sweet when wood 
and stone shall have crumbled into dust—the only enduring 
monument for mortal man. 


He rests in the little church-yard, by the people and among 
the people whom he served so long and so well. Like the 
victorious warrior, he rests on the battle-field, and like the 
poet’s village pastor 


“A man he was to all the country dear.”

Your Trustee calls attention to the fact that fifteen parishes have failed 
to meet their assessments. This is attributed not so much to the inability to 
pay as it is neglect or unbusinesslike methods of some vestries.

Parkersburg, W. Va., May 15, 1918. 


The Central Banking & Security Company hereby certifies that it has 
in possession the several items and money making up the amount of 
$40,700.15 above stated. 

THE CENTRAL BANKING & SECURITY CO., 
By J. V. LANGFITT, 
Assistant Secretary. 


The Trustees repeat their report of last year that all loans and invest- 
ments they now hold are well secured; but a number of contributions listed 
among the papers of the Central Banking & Security Co., as shown by its 
certificate, have been carried for years in their accounts, which should be 
charged off as unavailable assets. From various causes they are not col- 
lectible. Some persons dispute the amounts, claiming mistakes or settle- 
ment; some are unable to pay; and some ignore efforts to collect. 

The last item of “Sundry Certificates” $294.50, consists of pledges from 
numerous persons certifying that they will pay in installments; and the 
present amount is a residue, of which every ordinary means of realizing 
has been exhausted. 

The retention of these items, aggregating about $725, is misleading, and 
we pray that the Council authorize the Trustees to eliminate them from 
the account and charge them off. This will reduce the figures, but will not 
diminish the real worth of the fund. We accordingly recommend that 
Council pass a resolution: 

“That the Trustees of the Permanent Fund be and are hereby authorized 
to eliminate and charge off of their accounts, such of the pledges and 


84. APPENDIX A. 


obligations made by contributors to the fund, as the Trustees may deem 
worthless or unavailing as assets, and that they be allowed credit therefor 
in their settlements; and the Trustees shall report to the next Council 
the items so stricken, with a statement of the funds accordingly adjusted.” 
Respectfully submitted, 
B. M. AMBLER, 
President. 


All remittances should be made to The Central Banking & Security 
Company, Parkersburg, W. Va.

Remarks—Since the Council of 1912, the Island Parish has been visited by 
two floods, the last being very destructive and causing much loss to our 


APPENDIX B. 101 


people. This, no doubt, explains to some degree why so many have re- 
moved from the parish, and so few have been admitted by letter or other- 
wise. Yet in spite of every adverse experience, the people have within twelve 
months paid half an indebtedness of fifteen thousand dollars (15,000.00) 
and have arranged and are making strenuous efforts to liquidate the whole 
debt by Easter, 1914. As a matter of record, it is proper to note that on 
the 28th day of March, 1913, the Ohio River stood 51 feet and 4 inches at its 
crest at this point, and that. next to the flood of 1884, it was the highest in 
the memory of man so far as this section is concerned.—Jacob Brittingham.

point in the low district, wherefore there was not such a great deal of 
damage from March flood. There was several feet of water in the basement. 
Nothing was lost. When cleaning out the mud, it was discovered that 
there was a slight cave-in, which, without prompt attention, may prove 
serious.

Remarks—In the March flood the water was about four feet in the 
Church. Very little damage was done. The more serious loss that was 
sustained was the organ. I held first service in the Waverly Church after 
the flood on Sunday morning, May 18. The Church had been well cleaned 
and there were very little signs of high water left. Mrs. Corbitt deserves 
great credit for her untiring work for the Church. The assessments to 
both Diocesan and General Missions are too heavy for so few members to 
be responsible. There are only 2 communicants, which means that each 
member has to pay out $8.50 annually on assessments alone. This ought to 
be changed.

vices, except sittings of the Sunday School. Public services have been ir- 
regular and infrequent. The Rev. Mr. Ilsley was in ill health from the 
hour of his arrival the first week in May, until his death on July 12; then 
followed a pastorless condition of five months, when we had occasional 
services conducted by visiting ministers; then the Rev. Mr. Bancroft 
Whipple served us in connection with Marlinton and Clover Lick from 
Dec. 15, 1912, to March 15, 1913, giving less than half his time to Union. 
Since March 15, last, this Church has again been without a minister and 
no public services have been held except those incident to the sessions of 
the Sunday School.—A. S. JounstTon, Treasurer and Registrar.

REPORT OF THE REV. C: M. CAMPBELL. 
Christ’s Chapel, Racine, Boone Co., W. Va. 


My Dear Bishop: 

Although the Council meets so near Racine this year, you know only 
too well the cause of my absence, so it will not be necessary for me to 
offer excuses here, or to enter into detail. I shall be with you and my 
brothers just the same, however, in mind and heart and very earnest 
prayers. 

The official acts have been few, viz.: one infant baptized and six persons 
buried. I would also report six confirmed persons and 17 baptized persons 
in the county. 


APPENDIX B. 197 


In the present unimproved condition of my health there seems to be 
nothing else that I can do, except entering into the homes of the people 
from time to time. 


With warmest regards and very best wishes for one and all, believe me 
always, 


Faithfully and affectionately your son in the Church, 
C. M. CAMPBELL.

Your Committee met and, after giving all who called an opportunity to 
adjust their various assessments, has prepared its following report on 
Episcopal and Contingent Fund, Diocesan and General Missions. 
to report that 
several of the stronger parishes came forward and voluntarily asked that 
their assessments be increased, thus showing a disposition towards sup- 


weak places were reduced. We are pleased, however, 


porting the Diocese as a whole. 
Respectfully submitted,
