THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND DIOCESAN

CONFERENCE.

BISHOP OF VICTORIA REVIEWS RELIGIOUS PROBLEMS OF TO-DAY.

THE QUESTION OF ORGANISATION.

The Bishop of Victoria (Bishop C. R Dappuy) presided over the meeting of the Church of England Diocesan Conference, beld in the St. John's Cathedral Hall yesterday afternoon. He was › supported by the Dean (Very Rev. A. Swann), and other clergy, present were the Revs. N. W. Halward, W. W. Rogers, A. D. Stewart, G. K. Carpenter, E. E. Quick, W. T. Featherstone, G. T. Waldegrave, C. B. Shann, C. I. Blanchett and G. H. Hewitt. The laity were represented by Lady Pollock, Mra. Duppuy, Mrs. Rogers, Miss Robinson, Miss How Fung, Lieut.-Col. Christian, Professor L. Forster, Messrs. 'W, L. Fattenden, P. Jacks, W. Jack- son, R. Baldwin, Ashton Hill, and L. B. Wood..

The main business of the Conference was to discuss the Re solution, “That the new Constitution of the Church of England Diocesan Conference, as circulated, be adopted;", together with alterations and amendments as set forth before the members. THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS.

A BACKGROUND FOR THE CONFERENCE.

The Bishop, in his opening address, said

Brethren of the Clergy and of the Laity: It is my privilege to bid you welcome to this Conference, In the nature of things it can only be a small one, but I would remind you that the influence of a Con ference need never he in proportion to its size. We are to consider two main points: the constitution of the Conference itself and the Church of England Trust Or dinance with all the points that arise in connection therewith Be fore we come to consider these I want to suggest a background in the light of which we should ap proach these subjects.

World.

The problem of unity desperately urgent. If we leav that problem slone the Christians of India and of China will have to choose between international, and inter-denominational unity; of the two I am convinced that interna- tional unity is the more important. But it will be a desperately hard choice for them, and we must strain every nerve, and even every principle, to find the way by which they may unite for the battle on their own fields, without find- ing that they have thereby broken their connections with Christians elsewhere. The problem is hard, but it must be solved. It will be solved if we are utterly dedicated to the service of God in the fellow- ship of Christ's sufferings and in the power of His Resurrection." admulnistrative Reform WRhin tha Church of England.

Some of you may think these other movements touch us only in- directly but I am persuaded that they will touch us more and more. This movement towards adminis trative, reform touches us more im mediately in the subjects which will come before us in this Cou- ference.

No Anglican can easily object to the provision that the acceptance of the Episcopate should not be understood to involve more than that Episcopacy is of the bene ease of the Church, for whatever many of us believe, and whatever is contained in the general tradition of the Church, no more is required in our communion. On this basis of common agreement room must be found for very considerable diversi- ties of faith and practice; and the reunited church must be large and comprehensive enough to contain all the treasures of experience which have given their strength to the
