The debate as very animated; and until

radical an innovation.

atnendment to Article I-, section 13, of
. the Constitution, already approved by the
Deputies, /-which, in effect, makes the
presiding Bishop, of the Church elective
for a ternxol three -years by a majority
of the bishops. "-.. :.. ; ..
It was voted, in viev>- of the growing im
portance of missionary Avork in China; to
divide' the district of Shanghai into two de
