THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS. VOLUME 2, NUMBER 198. DU WILLIS REDE TALKS OF MEETING —*.— HE DISCUSSES INTERESTINGLY THE QUESTION OF CHANG ING NAME OF CHURCH. SOMt NEW IDE/VS ADVANCED Th e Brunswick Pastor Throws Some Very Badly Needed Light on a Thoroughly Interesting Question. By Wyllys Rede, D. D. The recent convention of the dio cese of Georgia, lield in Savannah, had before it a question of unusual interest. For many years there has been a desire upon the part of the many members of ithe Episcopal church that the title, Proftestant Episcopal, under which she has been known in America during the last century should he dropped. This de sire is ba-ed, not upon a wish for any change ol' her doctrinal position, which remains the same, but upon the belief that this title has been out grown, is negative rather than posi tive , is too much identified with the dead issues of the past, and hinders the growth- ot the church both among those at home who feel no interest in the religious controversies- of med iaeval Europe and those abroad to whom the Protestant idea does not appeal. They think that if the church will lay aside this name, which is not borne by any other brajich of the an cient historic church, of Christ, she will take a long step in the direction of Christian unity and will place her self in a much stronger position be fore the world The number of these win i \ iews nas been iu- MW tbe past fitty yeai ' s> HKKclLbl. mmrease during the last Hg@pwfias been very rapid. The last general convention of the church, held at San Francisco, found that the move ment 'had become so strong! that it could not be ignored. In order to find out the wishes of the people of the' church throughout the United States, it requested that the subject should he disbursed in the convention of every diocese and that each such convention should report to the gen eral convention whether it desires any change in the name of the church at the present time, and, if so, what the change shuuld be. In response to this reque t the diocean conventions are taking up liie question and de fining their attitude towards it. Of those who qav e thus far acted upon it a majority have expressed them selves at, desiring a change, while a strong .minority desire no change at the present time. While this move ment is not sectionsf, it is evident than its chief strength lies in the Mis sissippi Vallow and the west, while the older, dioceses along the Atlantic costet take a lhore conservative view of this, as they do ol' all other ques tions. Among ! hose who desire a chauge there is considerable diver sity as to the final settlement of tho question. Two dioceses have put themselves on record as desiring the name "American Catholic;” as wishing simply to drop the the words “Protestant Episcopal’ and put nothing in their place, the rest have suggested a variety of names. The great majority of those who advocate a change do not wish to adopt, any sectarian name. The whole question what name, if any, should be adopted, Tern a in.- to lie worked out. We have not yet really got beyond the prelim inary inquiry whether any-change is desired. If that is answered in the affiimative by a large majority of the dioceses, the gono-.al convention will probably take into consideration the question what name, if any, should be substituted. But therejs not the slightest ground for any hysterical anxiety lest some sudden and unde sirable action be taken. This church is conservative through and through; she never does things in a hurry, auo. she always gives all her people abund ant opportunity to jnake their wishes known. Thero is no disposition upon the part of any of her members to force upon the church something which Slie does not want, nor to any rash and dangerous step. If any thing is done, it will be only after ma ture consideration and with due re gard to the feelings and convictions of all concerned. The diocese of Georgia, after a brief and animated discussion, voted on Thursday last that it does not desite any change in the name of the church at this time. Some of tv —> who voted to this effect desire a caUugo at jvjuie luilaei 1-iin COURT JUDGE PARKER WILL CONVENE GLYNN’S HIGH TRIBUNAL TOMORROW. Judge Parker will rap for order in thel superior court room tomorrow morning and the Glynn superior court will bo convened in regular May ses sion, and will probably last lor a couple of weeks. This session of the court promises to be quite an interesting one, as there are a number of cases, both civ il and criminal, o tho docket. Just which of the dockets will be taken taken up first is not known. Probably the most interesting case to be tried is that of Sam Story, the white mam, Who is in jail, charged with the murder of Hamp Shriver, and who has twice before faced a jury, mistrials being declared. The circum stances connected with the case arc familiar to readers of the Nows. A number of other interesting cases are to be tried during the session.

Others are opposed to any change at any time. The question was debated on its merits without ar.y exhibition of bitter feeling or violent prejudice. It will probably continue "to be discussed for many years to come, until the whole church is finally convinced as to her duty in the premises. TOOLS ORDERED BY STEEL PLANT MOHAWK COMPANY IS PREPAR ING TO GO TO WORK IN DEAD EARNEST. ORDER PLAGED YESTERDAY Understood That a Number of Hands Will Be Put to Work on the Site Tomorrow Morning. Probably the best indication of the fact that the Mohawk Valley Steel and Wire company are in dead earnest about building the steel plant in Brunswick was demonstrated yester day when that company placed- quite a large order for tools and construc tion instruments with the Douglas Hardware company ol’ this city. Among other things was a !arg§ supply of shovels, mattocks, grubbing hoes, grading lines and, in fact, a general supply of instuments neces sary in the preliminary of cons' rue tion work. Quite a large force of hands are now at work digging holes for pil ings and the News has it on the best of authority that an additional force of from twenty-five to fifty men will be put to work at the site of the plant bright and early tomorrow morning. The News is not optimistic; it is not pressimistic, but this is one of the developments which it thinks is a healthy sign of the times and should offer encouragement to the people of Brunswick generally. DEPfeNDS ON FRENCHES REPORT. Will Say Whether or Not Troops are tc Have Encampment. Governor Terrell is In receipt of a telegram from Adjutant RcScrjrCor bin, says the Atlanta News, in ■ which it is stated the amount which will be given the Georgia state troops to de fray the expenses of the encampment to be held this summer will depend altogether on the report of Major H. C. French, who is at present inspect ing the Georgia troops preparatory to issuing the Krag-Jorgensen rifles. If Major French reports favorably on the Georgia militia it is very prob ble that instead of receiving $41,600, as is now expected, that the state will receive nearly twice that amount, or about $70,000. Governor Terrell feels very much encouraged over the inspection that is put up by the Georgia troops and is confident that enough will pass an excellent muster to get at least $40,- 000.
