ajble friction has been. caused
among the delegates to the gen
eral convention of the American
Episcopal church, which ended
its sessions here last night.
A number of the delegates en
deavored to have grape juice sub
stituted in the holy communion
in the place of wine lint those
who had grown old in the service
and had used wine all their lives
in (lie communion services failed
to agree with the prohibitionists
and the wine users won out.
The churchmen also fought flic
motion l.o remove from the cul
led (he prayers for flic .Jews,
Turks, infidels and heretics, lull
a majority of tile delegates still
considered that all the above
I needed praying for. especially the
Turks. It was pointed mil by sev
eral of the clergymen Dial the
■colled fonlaining prayers for
Turks, Jews, intidcls and here
tics was used hut once a year on
Bond Friday, and that at least
one day's prayers should be giv
en by I lie church for them.
The convention deadlocked ov
er the proposal to consecrate ne
gro bishops for work among ne
groes in this country. There are
■several hundred negro parishes
lint I hey have always been'super
vised by tile1 while bishop of the
diocese as have all other parish
es. It was urged by many of the
delegates that more effective
'■work can he done by negro bish
ops, especially in the south. Two
of the members of the House of.
Bishops are negroes, but they
hold jurisdiction not in the I'nil
ed Stales lint in the negro repub
