Conn., Oct. 2!. At the closing exercises hern yesterday of the Kpiseopal missionary conference of New Kngland. which has been in session several days In Trinity Church parish house, Itishop Hall of Vermont electrified his auditors by proposing a union of the Congrega tional and F.ii--copalian churches In one catholic and apostolic faith. Following Dr. Hall many earnest speakers attested their hearty otithil saism over the proposed amalgama tion anil it was decided to arrange conferences at many points through out New Kngland to consider the pro position and by getting local opinions In various places to ascertain if the idea is feasible and likely to succeed. The Kpiscopalians who departed for their homes last night are almost unanimous in the belief that the question will be near adjustment be fore their next 'meeting. Ilisliop Halls address will be published in all the journals of the Kpiscopalian de nomination. Bishop Hall said that religion must have a definite meaning for people who are fast falling away from the churches, ami to obviate this it would be necessary to .unite under urn creed and do everything possible to bring In other denominations rather than lose a valuable contribution by permitting separate sects to exist, rThe other speakers agreed that the matter was one of contribution of how much a given church might con tribute toward a new catholic faith u,d not. how much it iniuht keep of its old belief. "In nios-t cases there is no d. finite faith at all," said Dr. Hall, "and my idea will result in a revival of the endeavor ot I hristians 4o unite on just the one thing set up by tne apos tles of Christ as his creed. The Kpiseopal church stands ready to give its thirty-nine 'articles of religion and is willing to give up jis name of piscopal' ami to sink its identity in return tor truth, simple and deti nue. s one who heard the address of 1 fear the misleading, at mass of Itishop Hall at Hartford ibove account may be Itishop Hall with the gn he Kpiseopal clergy prays each d;.y or the organic unity of Christendom.

PIANO CONTEST Miss Mary Delorey Van Now in the Messrs, Gibson and Healy, judges in the piano contest found an inter esting condition of affairs when they unsealed ill" ballot box yesterday. The til.iiive position of the candi dates remained the same excepting Miss Delorey sprang a surprise when she made a gain of 171 votes, jumping from fourth to first place. . This drops each of the three former lead ers back one number. Miss Van Oor der gained in more votes over Miss Maixlen. Miss I'ellerin made the lar gest gain, next to Miss Delorey, but not enough to overtake Miss Marsden who still leads her 2 Hi votes. Next Tuesday's count will doubt less show some startling changes as the friends of each candidate are be ginning to get busy. Heretofore most of the work has been done by the can didates themselves, a most common- dable thing by l he way.
