presented by the Bishop of the Diocese.
Feb. 22 — Formal consent was given to the ejection of a
Bishop Coadjutor for the Diocese of Alabama. At the same time
Frederick H. U. Edwards was recommended to the Bishop to be

Crittenden was recommended to the Bishop for Ordination to the
Diaconate.
March 23 — The Bishop submitted a schedule of appropriations
for work among the colored people of the Diocese from the amount
allotted to the Diocese for said work by the National Council,
which schedule was approved. Our Committee also approved the
amount requested by the Bishop from the United Offering of the
Woman's Auxiliary for women workers in the Diocese.
At this same meeting Lewis R. Anschutz was recommended to the
Bishop to be admitted as a Candidate for Holy Orders.
April 17 — This meeting was called at the request of the
Bishop who submitted to our Committee the question of the ad-
visability of the election of a Bishop Coadjutor for the Diocese.
After an unrestrained conference with the Bishop, and a full and
frank discussion among the members of the Committee, we unani-
mously recommended that the Bishop ask for the election of a
Bishop Coadjutor.
June 8 — This was the first meeting of the Standing Commit-
tee ejected by the last Diocesan Convention. The Committee
organized by the election of the Rev. Milton A. Barber as Presi-
dent and Mr. Joseph B. Cheshire, Jr., as Secretary.
At this meeting Mr. Barber presented the canonical papers and

Penick as Bishop Coadjutor of the Diocese. The same were ap-
proved and ordered printed, and the Secretary was instructed to
send the same to all the Standing Committees of the various
dioceses in the United States, together with a form of consent by
said Standing Committees to the Consecration of the Bishop Co-
adjutor-elect.
Aug. 2 — The Secretary informed our Committee that he had
received thirty-six formal consents from Standing Committees to
the Consecration of the Bishop Coadjutor-elect of the Diocese, that
being a majority of the Standing Committees. Whereupon the
Secretary was instructed to transmit such formal consents from
the various Standing Committees to the Presiding Bishop of the
Church, together with a certified copy of the election of Mr. Penick
as Bishop Coadjutor of the Diocese.

secration of the Rev. George Ashton Oldham as Bishop Coadjutor
of the Diocese of Albany, and of the Rev. Dr. Charles Lewis Slat-
tery as Bishop Coadjutor of the Diocese of Massachusetts. We

and that he be Ordained to the Priesthood on any date after Aug.
15, 1922.
Also at this meeting Dr. John Bynum of Winston-Salem on nom-
ination of the Bishop, was elected as a medical examiner of those

Candidacy of Lewis R. Anschutz be shortened (for reasons fully

The Bishop presented the following report of the Trustees
of the Diocese :
The Trustees of the Diocese respectfully report that since the
last Convention they have received a deed of H. F. Makepeace and
wife, of the County of Lee, State of North Carolina, for a lot of
land in the town of Sanford in said county, dated April 8, 1923,
and recorded in book 18, page 751, in the office of the Register of
Deeds of Lee County.
Joseph Blouxt Cheshire,
Chairman of Trustees.
The above report was referred to a Committee consisting
of
Mr. Wm. B. Snow
Mr. Wm. H. Ragland
Mr. J. Augustus Moore
Mr. J. Renwick TTilkes submitted the report of the
]^ation-wide Campaign Treasurer. (See Appendix.)
2(j Journal of Proceedings
Mr. Henry M. London submitted the report of the
Treasurer of the Diocese. (See Appendix.)
The Rev. Sidney S. Bost read the Report of the Commit-
tee on Finance, which was adopted, as follows:
Report of the Committee on Finance
The Committee on Finance met in the Parish-house of Christ
Church, Raleigh, on January 4, 1923, all members being present,
and transacted the following business:
The Treasurer made his accustomed excellent report, showing
a balance on hand of $534.00 and a balance due on assessments
for 1922 of $1,399.80, of which about $800.00 was thought to be
collectible. The committee ordered the auditing of the Treasurer's
books by Mr. Walter Woollcott, Public Accountant, of Raleigh.
The Treasurer called attention to the assessment against Chapel
of the Cross, Chapel Hill. Upon investigation, it appeared that
this assessment was $80.60 in excess of what it should be. Upon
motion, this amount was remitted.
Following is the Budget agreed upon by the Committee, and
offered to the Convention for its adoption:
Expenses Diocesan Executive Committee $ 500.00
Bishop's salary 5,000.00
Bishop's traveling expenses 500.00
Bishop Coadjutor's salary 4,500.00
Bishop Coadjutor's traveling and incidental
expenses 1,000.00
Repairs Episcopal Residence 150.00
Premium on pensions 850.00
Printing Journal 800.00
Carolina Churchman 300.00
Provincial Synod 177.00
Salary of Treasurer 600.00
Salary of Secretary. 300.00
Expenses of Delegates to Diocesan Convention 250.00
Expenses Delegates Provincial Synod ($25.00
each) 150.00
Miscellaneous 500.00
Total $15,577.00
Thus it appears that the total amount needed for the year 1923
is $15,577.00. The amount assessable under the rule of the
Convention is $113,248.00. We offer the following resolutions:
Diocese of Xorth Cahq-li^a, 1923 27
BesoJvecL That the assessment for the Episcopal and Contingent
Fund for the year 1923 be 13 per cent, on Ministers' Salary and
Current Expenses.
Resolved, That remittances be allowed the following parishes and
missions on arrearages due E. & C. Fund:
Durham. St. Titus $13.40
Greensboro, Redeemer 2.50
Louisburg, St. Matthias 42.90
Winston-Salem, St. Stephen's 2.50
Hamlet, All Saints' 39.20
Iredell County, St. James 11.50
Laurinburg, St. David's 13.00
Madison, St. John's 2.50
Mayodan, Messiah 25.00
Selma, St. Gabriel's 2.50
Statesville, Trinity 37 50
Southern Pines, Emmanuel 50.00
Smithfield, St. Paul's 53.15
Your committee discussed the advisability of recommending to
the Convention a different basis of assessment hereafter for the
Episcopal and Contingent Fund; but, since the Committee was
divided in its judgment, it was thought best to offer th^is under a
separate report.
Respectfully submitted,
Sidney S. Bost,
Chairman.
Rev. Sidney S. Bost read the following':
Ma.jority Report of Committee on Finance
A majority of the members of the Committee on Finance, be-
lieving that a better and more equitable basis can be found for
assessments in the matter of the Episcopal and Contingent Fund,
offer the following resolutions:
Resolved. First, that when the Finance Committee meets in
January of next year, it is hereby instructed to make its schedule
of assessments upon the two-fold basis of (1) ministers' salaries
and current expenses, and (2) the number of communicants in
the respective parishes and missions.
Resolved, Second, that in the adoption of this change it is in-
tended to make the plan of assessment for the E. & C. Fund to
conform in a general way to the plan already adopted by the
Executive Committee of the Diocese in making its apportionments
for the Nation-wide Campaign Fund.

28 j0UE2sAL OF PeOCEEDIXGS
The above report was referred to a special committee as
follows :
Rev. Isaac W. Hughes Mr. Wm. H. Ruffin
Rev. Geo. F. Rogers Mr. Richard H. Lewis, Jr.
Mr. Thomas H. Webb
The Rev. Boston M. Lackey read the report of the
Executive Committee of the Diocese, as follows :
Report of the Diocesax Executive Committee
Four meetings have been held as follows: June 27, Oct. 16,
and Nov. 3, 1922; Jan. 18, 1923.
The Rev. Milton A. Barber was elected a member of the Ex-
ecutive Committee, to succeed the Rev. Charles A. Ashby, resigned.
The most important matter before the Committee was the
Nation-wide Campaign. For this the Committee made early pro-
vision, at the meeting of June 27, 1922, by electing the Rev. Sidney
S. Bost manager of the Campaign, and giving the Nation-wide
Campaign Committee full authority to make such plans as seemed
to it best for the carrying on of this work.
Your Committee also made provision for the financing of this
Campaign, and gave it their full support.
The results of this effort will be seen in the report of the
Treasurer of the Nation-wide Campaign Committee made to this
Convention. We feel that the thanks of the Diocese are due Mr.
Bost for the capable manner in which the Campaign was handled.
Several adjustments of the Nation-wide Campaign Apportion-
ments were passed upon.
The Rev. Charles A. Ashby having removed from the Diocese,
the Committee appointed the Rev. Israel Harding Hughes to
succeed him as editor of the Carolina Churchman.
Your Committee ordered the Nation-wide Campaign Treasurer
to pay the interest on the Sewanee Debt from July 1 to Dec. 31,
1922, out of undesignated funds in his hands.
To meet the Diocesan pledge to the Sewanee Endowment Fund,
it was ordered that a special apportionment be made upon those
parishes which had not paid their Sewanee quota, and that such
contributions be sent to Mr. Wilkes, marked "Specials for Sewanee."
Your Committee recommends that this Convention undertake to
raise $2.5,000 toward the Endowment Fund for St. Mary's School;
and that $5,000 be included annually for five years in the Nation-
wide Campaign Budget until the said amount be raised, beginning
with the fiscal year 1924.
Diocese of ^orth Carolina, 1923 29
Mr. Wilkes, Treasurer, was authorized to create from the balance
of the Nation-wide Campaign Account, a Diocesan Incidental
Account.
Your Committee ordered that from the Diocesan Incidental Ac-
count, $750.00 be appropriated toward paying the salary of a
Diocx3san Educational Secretary; and that $2.50.00 be granted the
Social Service Commission for the purpose of financing a Diocesan
Conference on Social Service Work.
A Committee consisting of the Rev. Lewis N. Taylor, Mrs. Me^vin
M. Murphy, and Miss Emma J. Hall was appointed to consider a
proposed plan submitted by the Rev. N. C. Duncan; this plan being
that the Dioceses of North Carolina, East Carolina, and Western
North Carolina cooperate in establishing a Tubercular Hospital
at Morganton, N. C.
Your Committee recommends to this Convention that there be
created a Diocesan Publicity Committee.
Respectfully submitted.
Boston M. Lackey,
Secretary.
On motion of the Rev. Isaac W. Hnghes, it was resolved
that, in accordance with the recommendation of the Diocesan
Executive Committee, the Convention undertake to raise
$25,000 toward the endowment of St. Mary's School : and
that $5,000 be included annually for five years in tlie
Xation-wide Campaiiiii Budget, until said amount be raised,
beginning with the fiscal year 1924.
The foregoing resolution was referred to the Finance
Committee.
The Rev. T. Hardino; Hughes introduced the following
resolution which was adopted :
Resolved, That this Convention create a Diocesan Publicity Com-
mittee.
The Committee was named as follows:
Rev. Thos. F. Opie Mr. James A. Robinson
Rev. I. Harding Hughes • Mrs. John L. Holmes
Rev. Robt. E. Gribben
Dr. Richard H. Lewis read the report of the Trustees of
St. \\rary's School, as follows:
30 Journal of Proceedings
Report of the Trustees of St. Mary's School
The President of the Board of Trustees of St. Mary's School
herewith presents the annual report of the Trustees, as required
by the Act of Incorporation.
As predicted in my last report, the 1921-22 session of St. Mary's
proved to be the most successful, financially, of its history. Ex-
tensive repairs were made during the following summer, and
the physical condition of the plant was greatly improved. A new
biology laboratory was opened, which it is hoped may be further
expanded. The dormitory buildings were all redecorated, and
many improvements and repairs made looking to the comfort and
safety of our students.
The current year promises to bring further success. The student
enrollment has been very satisfactory, 280 having been registered,
of whom 213 were resident and 67 were day students. The session
opened Sept. 15, 1922, with 204 resident students in attendance,
the largest number in the history of the school. The opening en-
rollment of day students was 51.
There are in the present Senior Class 28 candidates for gradua-
tion, and 24 candidates for the certificate as given in the various
departments of music, art, home economics, expression and the
business courses.
A geographical distribution of the resident students in atten-
dance during the session shows 19 states and 30 dioceses repre-
sented, with one student from Cuba. Sixty-two per cent (133)
come from the two Carolinas, and 92 per cent (206) from the
Southern States.
The diocese of North CaroMna had 74 girls in attendance; East
Carolina, 47; Western Carolina 12; the dioceses of South Carolina,
8; Virginia, 29; Georgia, 23; Florida. New Jersey, and Kentucky,
3 each; Pennsylvania, 2. Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware,
District of Columbia, Illinois, Mississippi, New York, Ohio, Tennes-
see, West Viri:inia and Cuba also were represented.
In church affiliation, 65 per cent (139) gave their religious prefer-
ence as the Episcopal Church, 37; Methodist, 16; Baptist, 15;
Presbyterian, 4; Christian, Lutheran, and Friends. 1 each.
St. Mary's now is entirely free from debt, the remaining out-
standing balance of the bonds having been retired during the
present fiscal year.
The St. Mary's School Fund Drive, which was put on last Decem-
ber has resulted in pledJ?es and donations of $54 350 88 of which
$16,895.39 have been paid in cash.
The report of Mr. Root. Treasurer of the Board of Trustees, is
appended hereto.

The Eev. George F. Rogers read the report of the Board of
^Eanagers of the Thompson Orphanage and Training Institu-
tion, as follows:
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS OF THE THOMPSON ORPHANAGE AND
TRAINING INSTITUTION
The past year has been one of importance to the Orphanage,
largely on account of changes in the personnel of the management
and the opening of one new building and the addition of another.
After nearly 25 years of faithful service as superintendent, the
Rev. Walter J. Smith resigned last fall.
The Orphanage has been most fortunate in securing the Rev.
William H Wheeler as superintendent. Mr. Wheeler assumed
charge in September. He is making a careful study of the situa-
tion and endeavoring to increase the usefulness of the institution
along conservative lines. The churches which he has been able
to visit have been most generous in their response to his appeals.
We believe he will, through this field work, greatly increase the
interest which now is taken in the institution.

34 JouE^'AL OF Proceedings
The Edwin A. Osborne Memorial Building, for the smaller chil-
dren for which the funds were raised at the convention three
years ago in Charlotte, has been opened and has 20 inmates from
one to four years old. It will soon be filled to its capacity, which
is 25.
Through the generosity of Mr. William H. Williamson in sup-
plementing the bequest of Mrs. Sadie Tucker Williamson, a very
handsome infirmary has been built, which will be called the Sadie
Tucker Williamson Memorial Infirmary. Such a building has been
greatly needed in the past, and will be most beneficial to the health
and comfort of the children of the institution.
An addition of much importance to the staff of the Orphanage
is that of Miss Ellen Lay, as recreational worker. Miss Lay came
to the Orphanage about Feb. 1, but already the effect of her work
can be seen, and we feel sure that the children will be greatly
benefited, mentally, morally, and physically, through this depart-
ment.
It also is hoped that Miss Lay will be able to do some field work,
particularly among the Thompson Orphanage Guilds.
The addition of these two new buildings and of this recreational
department will add greatly to the running expenses of the institu-
tion, and this should be borne in mind by the different churches all
through the year, and particularly at Thanksgiving.
The present needs of the Orphanage are not many nor are they
particularly large, but they are important, and to an extent urgent.
While a certain part of the laundry work is done by the children
at ^ach house, the cost of the laundry work that is sent to the city
laundries amounts to about $150 per month.
There is need of a well-equipped central laundry, suited to the
requirements of the Orphanage. Such a building, with equipment,
would cost about $10,000.
Thompson Hall is an old building, which has been added to and
rebuilt many times. It is not adapted to the purpose for which it
is used, and it is almost impossible to keep it in a clean, sanitary
condition. As the superintendent stated in his report to the Board
of Managers: "The present mob of chiMren of all ages and both
sexes in Thompson Hall is far from conducive to happy, wholesome,
and contented living." This building should be replaced by two
new buildings that will meet the present needs of the institution,
in which the children can be divided according to their ages and
sexes.
The executive committee often is asked to sell some of the land
belonging to the Orphanage, but the Board of Managers has been
and still is opposed to any sales of the property. The farm is a
most useful adjunct to the Orphanage for training the boys and
Diocese of I^orth Carolina, 1923 35
providing- milk and vegetables for the children and the employees
of the institution.
On account of the increased number of children now at the
Orphanage, plans are being made to largely increase the produc-
tivity of the farms.
The Board of Managers wishes to express its appreciation of
the generous way in which the church people of the State have
responded to the calls of the Orphanage, and to ask your careful
consideration of our recommendations and your advice and assis-
tance in all matters pertaining to your institution.
Respectfully submitted,
Joseph G. Shannonhouse,
Fred W. Glo\'er,
Committee for the Board of Managers.

The Rev. George F. Rogers read the report of St. Peter's
Hospital^ as follows :
To the Bishop of the Diocese of North Carolina:
The work of St. Peter's Hospital has been of great value to the
community during the year just passed.
The total number of cases during the year was: Admissions,
120; births, 188; deaths, 44; total, 1,389. The number of days
treatment was 10,811. The number of charity patients was 180,
and the days of charity treatments were 1,710. The actual cost of
charity work, including semi-charity patients, was $5 777 00.
It is worthy of note that the Hospital has rendered considerable
assistance to the clergy and to members of the families of clergy-
men, and that all hospital service required by the children of the
Thompson Orphanage is rendered without cost.
The extensive development and improvements will provide facil-
ities, second to none in the South, for a hospital of its size: One
sterilizing room, 2 special rooms for doctors, 3 operating rooms,
1 laboratory, 3 X-ray rooms, 2 work rooms, 10 new patients'
rooms, 24 nurses' rooms 3 children's wards, 8 baths, a kitchen, pan-
try, dining room, 2 servants' rooms, room for coal, and 2 rooms for
supplies — 64 rooms in the new section. In the old section will be
3 new patients' rooms. 3 maternity rooms. 12 utility rooms, includ-
ing medicine room; work room, chart room, fuel room, and a boiler
room — 24 new rooms In the old section, making a total of 88 new
rooms available in both sections. A complete new heating system
has been installed. The total cost will be approximately $102,845.00.

The Rev. George F. Eogers read the report of the Good
Samaritan Hospital as follows:
To the Bishop of the Diocese of North Carolina:
The Good Samaritan Hospital has had another busy and success-
ful year. In June the graduation exercises were most interesting,
with the nurses' program and Bishop Penick's talk. Of the four
nurses graduating, we are proud that all have taken their State
Board examinations and passed exceedingly well; this shows the
high standard maintained at the Hospital, and we of the Board
consider it a wonderful tribute to our Matron.
We again received the generous donations from the six colored
schools of the city through the Thanksgiving bags. The annual
colored Sunday School Union Rally for the Good Samaritan was
held, as usual, the end of November; $813.07 was raised, which
almost completes their pledge of $5,000 toward the New Annex,
which is the outstanding feature of the work of the Hospital Board.
The colored people are taking a greater interest in the hospital than
ever before. The Union is forming an auxiliary to the Board for
this work, and they all seem more eager to assume the re-
sponsibility of the Good Samaritan December, which usually is
our slack month as regards patients and work as well as funds, has
been the largest December on the records since the founding of the
hospital.
Diocese of Xorth Carolina, 1923 37
The Treasurer's report for the year is most gratifying: Patients
for 5,329 days, 696; of these, 189 were charity patients, for 1,559
days.
Gifts and patients $10,225.34
• Expenses 9,989.89

has been completed and is in use.

The. Rev. Edgar H. Goold read the reports of St. Augus-
tine's School and St. Agnes Hospital, as follows :
Report of St. Augustine's School, including St, Agnes Hospital
St. Augustine's School has enrolled during its fifty-sixth annual
session, 521 pupils, including 41 in the St. Agnes Hospital Training
School for Nurses. The year has been a good one in attendance and
morale. The financial stability of the School has been helped
through the continued aid received from the American Church
Institute for Negroes. We are also glad to report that the Institute
Board has endorsed our plan to establish our Junior College course
on the basis of the standards which have been established by the
North Carolina State Department of Education, and that we shall
have the financial assistance of the Board in this undertaking. This
will enable us to give more adequate training to those who wish
to enter the ministry or to study medicine, or who may wish to
qualify as High School teachers. The State Director of. Negro
Education, Mr. N. C. Newbold, is heartily in favor of this step, and
38 JOUKT^^AL OF PkOCEEDIXGS
has been very helpful in the matter of planning the work. When
this course becomes thoroughly established it will mean that our
Church has at least one institution in which capable colored young
men and women can receive training for two years above the High
School.
We have recently received word of two bequests to our work.
The late Miss Cornelia Prime of Huntington, L. I., bequeathed
$1,000 to St. Augustine's School, and $1,000 to St. Agnes Hospital;
while under the will of the late Mrs. Lucy H. Collins of New York,
the School receives a bequest of $3,000.
It is a very real encouragement to know that these friends of
the School did not forget it when making their walls, and we
hope that others will follow their kind examples. It often happens
that other institutions are generously remembered, while our
Church work is forgotten or passed by.
St. Augustine's is asking its old friends to aid her in erecting a
most urgently needed class-room building. Our present class-rooms
are located on the first two floors of the Lyman Building, the
upper floors of which constitute our boys' dormitory. Both the
class-rooms and the boys' living quarters are badly crowded. The
entire building should be used as a boys' dormitory and a suitable
class-room building should be erected without delay if the School
is to meet its opportunities. Both these projects have been ap-
proved by the National Council, and are on the Priority List for
this present Triennium.
Early in June of last year a very successful Conference of Col-
ored Clergy and Church Workers was held on the School grounds,
lasting five days with an enrollment of about 100. The Conference
will be held again this year, June 4 to 8, and promises to be a most
helpful one. Bishop Delany is Chairman of the Conference, which
is held under the auspices of the American Church Institute for
Negroes.
Dr. Mary V. Glenton, Superintendent of St. Agnes Hospital, re-
ports that since May 1, 1922, a total of 1,143 patients has been ati-
mitted to the hospital; there have been 637 operations, and 18,817
hospital days. The receipts for current expenses have been
$25,841.57, of which amount $18,009.31 was paid by the patients
themselves.
As the result of the funds which already have been received
from the Community Campaign held last April, the interior of the
hospital has been renovated and repaired, and considerable new
equipment has been received, while the Nurses' Home has been
remodeled and enlarged. As further funds are received from
pledges made at that time, a much-needed hospital annex will be
built, more equipment will be acquired, and the interior of the
Nurses' Home will be considerably improved.
Diocese of North Carolina, 1923 39
We urge all our Church people to take a helpful interest in St.
Agnes Hospital, as without continued aid for current expenses this
splendid work can not be maintained. Would it not be most
fitting and encouraging if some definite and regular diocesan ap-
propriation were made for this purpose?
Respectfully submitted,
Edgar H. Goold. Princival.

REPORT OF CHURCH PENSION FUND COMMITTEE
Your Committee has collected during the year 1922 and for-
v/arded to the New York office of the Church Pension Fund the
sum of $9,469 58, as follows:
40 Journal of Proceedings

Oct. 5, 1922 2,489.23
Jan. 11, 1923 2,794.38
Total $9,469.58
This amount represents the actual assessments based on seven
and one-half per cent of the salaries paid to clergymen, increased
by one-sixth where a rectory or other living quarters are provided.
There also was collected, for administrative expenses, the sum
of $122.53. The statement of the account is as follows:
On hand January 1, 1922 $ 15.17
Received during year 122.53
Total $137.70
Disbursed 135.10

Stenographer $120.00
Premium on Treasurer's Bond 2.50
Stamps 8.00
Ledger Sheets 4.60
Total $135.10
On December 31, 1922, there were fifteen parishes in arrears,
with assessments amounting to $351.00. Since then, five of these
parishes have paid their assessments, amounting to $149.69, leaving
in arrears ten parishes, with assessments of $201.31. A statement of
the parishes in arrears is attached to this report.
These figures show that our Diocese has co-lected 98 per cent of
its Pension Fund dues during the past year.
A statement from the Secretary of the Church Pension Fund,
dated April 11, 1923, shows that assessment payments for the year
1922 are in excess of the year 1921, thus showing that the univer-
sal support given the pension system by the various parishes and
other organizations in our church is continuing in a most satis-
factory way.

COMMUNICATION FROM THE SECRETARY. THE CHURCH PENSION FUND
14 Wall Street, New York, April 11, 1923.
My dear Mr. Coit:
In view of the approaching Diocesan Convention, and as a mat-
ter of possible interest, I take pleasure in enclosing herewith a list
of the grants now in force among the clergy and their families in
the Diocese of North Carolina.
It may be of interest also to you to know that the assessment
payments from the entire Church for the year just closed are in
excess of those for 1921, thus showing that the universal support
given the pension system by the various parishes and other or-
ganizations in our Church is continuing in a most satisfactory way.
The annual grants of the Church Pension Fund proper up to
March 1, 1923, have reached the total of over $272,000. This figure,
added to the total of the annual grants being carried on account of
the General Clergy Relief Fund and the other merged funds, makes
a grand total of over $468,000 per annum.
I may add that at their meeting on Dec. 12, 1922 the Trustees
renewed for the coming year their resolutions of Dec. 20 1921,
granting in addition to the customary annuity an immediate pay-
ment of $1,000 to the widows of clergymen dying in active service
whose assessments are fully paid.
The outstanding action of the year, although not strictly within
the Church Pension Fund proper, has been the formation of the
Church Life Insurance Corporation, with the object of offering to
the clergy, and to certain classes of lay workers in the Church,
various forms of life insurance policies at the same rates as those
of the converted War Risk Insurance of the United States Govern-
ment. This office will be very glad at any time to answer inquiries
in regard to life insurance from any of the clergy or others who
might be eligible and are interested.
In closing, may I express my appreciation for the splendid
cooperation which we have received from you and from the Com-
mittee during the year just passed?
Very sincerely yours,
Mr. Ralph B. Coit, Harold P. Mills. Secretary.

The Rev. Alfred. S. Lawrence read the following pre-
amble and resolution, which were adopted:
Whereas The last Legislature of the State appointed a Farm
Tenancy Commission, to study the whole problem of farm tenancy
in this State and to report to the next Legislature, recommending
legislation to counteract this evil; and.
Whei-eas This Commission already is at work, and already has
developed tentative plans; therefore, be it
Resolved. That the Social Service Committee of this Diocese be
urged to cooperate with the State Commission (1) in .the matter
of helping to give publicity to the serious economic, moral, and
religious evils that farm tenancy is causing, and (2) in developing
ways and means to cooperate with the State Commission in carry-
ing out its plans.
The Bishop announced that the prize of $50 offered for
the best essay on ^'The Best Way in which a Layman Can
Assist the Rector in the Work of the Church/' had been
awarded to Mrs. H. deC. Mazyck.
The Rev. Robert E. Gribben spoke on the work of the
Publicity Committee and offered the following recommenda-
tions which were approved :
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE DIOCESAN PUBLICITY COMMITTEE
Whereas The existence of the various Church periodicals sup-
poses the publication of Church news, setting forth the activities
going on in the several parishes of the Church; and,
Wher^eas Many parishes, especially in our own Diocese, do not
regularly submit news items for publication in the Carolina Church,
man and other periodicals of the Church press; and,
Whe7Tas The Church's services are not given the legitimate
publicity they might have in the local press; and,
Whereas The combined circulation of our four church weeklies
among over a million communicants of our Church is only 40.000.
We, the Publicity Committee of the Diocese of North Carolina,
therefore respectfully make the following recommendations to
the delegates in attendance upon the annual Convention of the
Diocese meeting in the city of Oxford, May 8, 9, and 10:
1. That a correspondent in each parish be named to send in
short items of news about happenings in the parish that might be
of interest to the readers of the Carolina Churchman and other
Church papers, and that might tend to stimulate the work of the
whole Church.
Diocese of Xokth Carolina, 1923 47
2. That the several rectors in the Diocese take advantage of
the columns of the local newspapers to advertise, in a dignified
and an impressive manner, the services of the Church from week
to week, both in the usual Church Calendar columns and wherever
else is feasible and advisable, by way of special space purchased
in the interest of the progressive conduct of the work of the parish.
3. That committees be named in every parish and mission in
the Diocese to canvass the entire membership of the local Church,
with a view to increasing interest in and subscriptions to the
Carolina Churchman and the other weekly and monthly papers of
the Church,
We further recommend that a Publicity Committee be appointed
in every parish and mission in the Diocese, whose chief duties it
shall be to effect a systematic distribution of The Church at Work,
and other literature, posters, etc., that may come to the parish
from time to time from the General Church; and to use all diligence
in giving publicity to the services and special activities of the
parish in the local and the Church press, as opportunity and initia-
tive may afford.
The Eev. Robert B. Owens read the report of the Com-
mittee on Canons, which was adopted, as follows :
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OX CANONS
Your Committee on Canons respectfully reports that it has care-

To the Bishop and Convention of the Diocese of North Carolina:
Your Committee on New Parishes, to whom was committed the

Resolved, That the Church of the Messiah, Rockingham, having
duly fulfilled all canonical requirements, be hereby admitted as
a parish into union with Convention of the Diocese of North Caro-
lina.
Respectfully submitted,
Francis H. Craighill,
For the Committee.

Walter King, Beverlv T. Payne, and Arthnr Corpening.
The Rev. Bertram E. Brown read the report of the Special

of St. Mary's School as follows:
The Committee appointed to receive the report of the Trustees
of St. Mary's School return it to the Convention with the sug-
gestion that it be received with congratulations upon the splendid
nature of the report.
The Rev. Robert E. Gribben read the report of the Board
of Religions Edncation, as follows:
REPORT OF THE DIOCESAX BOARD OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
The Diocesan Board of Religious Education appointed at the last
Convention has had two meetings during the conciliar year, and
one meeting with the Diocesan Church School Service League.
After considering the needs of the Diocese with reference to
religious education, particularly in the Church school and finding
how similar needs were being met in other Dioceses, the Acting
Chairman of the board made a recommendation to the Executive
Committee of the Diocese in January that an appropriation be made
for a part-time field worker who would visit the parishes and mis-
sions, confer with the superintendents and teachers, and with the
"local problem in mind make such suggestions as would help to
solve the problem and improve the work of the Church school.
The reason for making this parish to parish visitation is based
upon the experience that most teacher-training institutes are at-
tended very largely by teachers from the larger schools and,
naturally, the instruction is generally based on the work in a large
school.
An analysis of the reports made to the last Convention shows the
following: ,
Out of 107 Parishes and Missions reporting
23 have an enrollment of 100 teachers and pupils or more.
28 have an enrollment of 50 to 100.
20 have an enrollment of 25 to 50.
16 have an enrollment of less than 25.
20 apparently have no Church school.
107
Diocese of ^ortii Carolina, 1923 51
The problem seems to be here, as it is in many other places, the
small school.
The Executive Committee approved the plan of securing a field
worker, and voted $1,000, which was deemed sufficient. With the
special assistance of the Bishop Coadjutor, an effort was made to
secure the field worker. Two who were offered the position, de-
clined on account of work already engaging their attention. A third
nominee for the place was not able to comply with the requirements.
The Board commends to the Convention, Bulletin 36, Series 1923,
of the National Council, on the subject, "Study Courses for Adults."
Attention is invited to the book, "The Educational Opportunity of
the Churchman," which was prepared by the Secretaries of the
Department of Religious Education.
Since the St. Mary's Conference will not be held this year, the
Board urges as many as possible to attend the Summer Training
School at Sewanee, Aug. 9-22. The School of Religious Education,
Charlottesville, Va., July 31-Aug. 10, may prove to be more con-
venient, both as to time and as to place.
Respectfully submitted.

The Finance Committee, to whom was referred the proposal to

Diocese be organized on the lines of the National Council. Your
Committee is unwilling to assume the responsibility of passing
upon this matter. We therefore report it back to the Convention
without prejudice and ask for the instruction of the Convention.
The Rev. Francis H. Craighill offered the following reso-
lution, which was adopted :
Resolved, That the Committee on Canons be requested to draft a

The Rev. Wilmot S. Holmes read the report of the Commit-

REPORT OF THOMPSON ORPHANAGE COMMITTEE
Your Special Committee, to whom was referred the report of
the Superintendent of the Thompson Orphanage, beg leave to report
Diocese of North Carolina, 1923 53
that we have examined the same and find it very encouraging.
We take recognition of and commend the long and faithful services
of the Rev. Walter J. Smith, and wish him long years of enjoyment
of the fruits of his labors, brought to the children in the Orphanage.
The report shows the institution to be in a good condition and
particular attention is called to the needs of replacing Thompson
Hall, and to the building and equipment of a suitable laundry for
the Orphanage.

plan reported be adopted, namely, that, first, the amount for each
parish and mission be assessed at 13 per cent of minister's salary
and current expenses; and, second, the number of communicants
multiplied by one dollar and a half. These to be added and
divided by two, so as to secure an equitable average, which it has
been estimated will suflBce.

We, your Committee appointed to consider the advisability of ac-
cepting the proposal to establish a tri-diocesan tubercular pavilion
at Morganton, N. C, beg leave to report, that:
After personal investigation and a conference with the rector,
the Rev. Norvin C. Duncan, your Committee feels that the proposal
from the Diocese of Western Xorth Carolina offers an opportunity
to the Church to minister to this neglected class of unfortunate
people, but in view of the present limited facilities of the tubercular
pavilion and the necessity of extensive development, in the event it
should become a tri-diooesan institution involving considerable ex-
pense, your Committee feels that further consideration should be
given to the proposal and recommends the appointment of a Com-
mittee to take this matter under full advisement and report at the
next Diocesan Convention in 1924.

At the request of the Chairman of the Social Service
Commission, the Rev. Thomas F. Opie read the report of
the Industrial Committee of the Social Service Commis-
sion, which was adopted, as follows :
At a meeting of the Industrial Committee of the Social Service
Commission, held this Wednesday afternoon, May 9, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted, with the respectful sugges-
tion that this Convention by resolution endorse the Committee's
action at its first session:
(1) Resolved, That it is the sense of this Committee that in the
matter of financial assistance given toward the support of the
Church or toward Church extension, all such assistance be given
and received without conditions, except such as will help the Church
carry her general commission to all the people.
(2) Resolved, That as regards a policy of evangelism for the year
1923 and 1924, it is the sense of the meeting that, agreeable to the
priest in charge of the work, in industrial towns and mill centers
preaching missions of a simple evangelical character be held at
least once a year; and that such missions be held from time to
time in places where we have no organized missions or other Church
work and opportunity and condition might justify.
(3) Resolved, That the attention of the Archdeacons and the
Executive Committee of the Diocese be called to certain centers
where we now have no Church or Mission — for example, Wendell,
Zebulon, Draper, and Swanch — with a view to a Diocesan policy of
settling upon one or more town or centers for new development
from year to year.
(4) Resolved. That training or study classes for volunteer workers
among industrial populations be conducted in as many places as
may be, and that definite appeal be made to the Senior Classes at
St. Mary's School, the State Normal, and other institutions for
young men and women, with a view to securing young men or
women for volunteer work under the Church's direction, for
vacation or whole-time periods.
(5) Resolved, That we request the Presiding Bishop and the
National Council for at least one more paid woman worker (under
United Thank Offering Fund) for service in the Convocation of
Charlotte.
(6) Resolved, That the Editor of the Carolina Churchman be re-
Diocese of North Carolina, 1923 67
quested to issue an Industrial Number of that paper in the near
future, or as soon as may be convenient and feasible.
(7) Resolved. That all Congregations in industrial centers, no
matter how poor, be encouraged to discharge their full duty in
regard to stewardship.
(8) Resolved, That it is the sense of this Committee that small
chapters of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew may be an effective
agency for the clergy in charge of Churches in industrial centers.
The Rev. Charles F. Westman reported for the Commit-
tee oil Unfinished Business that he had examined the Jour-

Resolved. That a Diocesan Commission be appointed by the

take such action as they deem best.
The Bishop appointed the Commission, as follows :
Rev. Harry 0. Nash Rev. Morrison Bethea
Rev. H. Norwood Bowne Rev. Robert E. Gribben
Rev. Lewis N. Taylor Rev. William H. Hardin
The Rev. William J. Gordon read the report of the Com-
mittee on the State of the Church, as follows :
report of the committee on the state of the church
In the words of Bishop Cheshire's address, your Committee is
"struck with the increasing extent of our Diocesan interests, and
the increasing volume of our church business; the growth of our
Church institutions, the multiplication of our activities, and of our
agencies for work, boards, committees, commissions; the larger
interests, the greater expense, and our numerous responsibilities on
every side."
The Nation-wide Campaign held its interest in 1922, and in the
list of Dioceses we stood fourth, with 87 per cent of our quota paid.
The Nation-wide Campaign Treasurer's report at this date indicates
that the Diocese will this year complete its full quota.
Diocese of Xokth Carolina, 1923 59
An analysis of statistics shows an increase in the number of
confirmations from 595 to 651. The number of baptized persons
shows no increase, but this is due to the weeding out and revision
of the list of two of the larger parishes. The total number of
Church school teachers and pupils has increased from 8,589 to 8,069.
The value of all the Church property in the Diocese is now
$2^291,590.
The St. Augustine school reports an increased enrollment and
material changes. St. Agnes Hospital reports 41 pupils in the
Training School for Nurses. Considerable remodeling and repair-
ing has been done. A notable fact about this hospital for colored
people is that during the year the patients themselves paid
$18,009.31, out of the total of $25,841.57 received.
St. Peter's Hospital, Charlotte, has been greatly enlarged by the
addition of 88 rooms, and continues to do a great amount of chari-
table work. The clergy and their families, and the children of the
Thompson Orphanage have been among the beneficiaries of the
institution. The Good Samaritan Hospital also has had a notable
year. The four nurses graduated, passed the State examination with
credit. The amount paid by patients for the services received
forms a large part of the income.
St. Mary's School again has a capacity enrollment. All bonds
have been retired, and the school is out of debt. The committee
recommends the adoption of a resolution to provide from the
Diocese $25,000 toward the endowment fund. Your committee feels
that the splendid material condition of the school is due in a large
degree to the untiring work and ability of the business manager,
Mr. A. W. Tucker.*
Chapel Hi7Z.— Land has been secured on both sides of the present
church property, and tentative plans have been received from Mr.
Upjohn, architect for the New Chapel of the Cross.
Tliomvson Orphanacie. — Since the last Convention, the Rev. Walter
J. Smith has retired as superintendent, and his work has been
taken up by the Rev. William H. Wheeler. The fatherly care of
the former superintendent is greatly missed. The Rev. Mr. Wheeler
has been able to secure Miss Ellen Lay as field worker and re-
creational director. The good results are already apparent. The
Edwin A. Osborne Memorial building is now in use, and the Sadie
Tucker Williamson Memorial infirmary has been completed.
Pension Fund. — We note with satisfaction that the excessive pre-
miums paid over 1921 shows a gratifying increase of salaries to
the clergy. It is deplorable, however, that arrears in the pay-
ment of premiums in certain places seriously involve the ultimate
benefit of the fund to five of our brethren of the clergy, and their
widows and orphans.
60 JouEXAL OF Proceedings
Mr. London, treasurer of the Diocese, reports a better showing for
1922 than ever before.
It is suggested by leading laymen that parishes be encouraged
to provide their rectors with automobiles. Parishes which already
have done so find increased effectiveness in the work of their rectors.
We believe the present time excellent for an advance, long
needed, in the circulation of the Carolina Churchman, and urge
every clergyman to take steps toward placing our Diocesan paper
under its present stimulating leadership in every home in the
Diocese. We commend the example of those churches like Holy
Comforter, Burlington, which have taken action in this respect.
The present circulation of the Carolina Churchman is about 950,
which is an increase of 75 over last year; whereas, we have about
3,200 families. Three hundred additional subscriptions would
place the paper on a basis independent of Diocesan appropriations.
Evangelism. — We note with interest and gratitude that mis-
sions have been held at several points in the Diocese during the
past year. In each place the mission was well attended and
created a great deal of interest in the church. There was a re-
newal of the spiritual life among many who attended. We are
quite in sympathy with Bishop Penick's recommendation that
"some definite action be taken concerning the matter of evangelism
by this convention."
Building Operations. — Several parishes contemplate erecting
parish-houses in the near future. The work is delayed at present
because of high prices of material and labor. In this connection a
commission on church architecture, such as the Bishop Coadjutor
has referred to, could be of great service not only in making
possible a saving of money, but also in encouraging the erection
of an attractive and efficient type of building and making provi-
sion at the same time for future growth.
Bishop and Council. — Many Dioceses throughout the Church have
an organization variously known as Council of Advice, Executive
Committee, and Bishop and Council. Such a Committee usually
is composed of a representative of each of the other Diocesan
governing bodies. It unifies the directing energies of the Diocese,
eliminates duplication of effort, and brings all parishes in touch
with one central ofi^ce acquainted with the affairs of both the
home diocese and the church at large. Our Diocese would profit
greatly through the functioning of such a Committee or Council,
whose creation our Bishops recommend and desire.

ADDRESS OF BISHOP CHESHIRE
ADDRESS OF BISHOP COADJUTOR
ADDRESS OF BISHOP SUFFRAGAN
ADDRESS OF THE BISHOP
Brethren of the Clergy and Laity:
We meet for our one liundred and seventh annual Diocesan
Convention in what, in our new American life, we call one
of our old parishes. In a Chronological List of our parishes,
which I made some years ago, and which used to be printed
as an Appendix to our Book of Diocesan Canons, St. Steph-
en's, Oxford, stood eighth in the roll of the parishes of this
-Diocese. It sent a delegate to the Convention which met in
St. Luke's Church, Salisbury, in 1823, the Convention which
elected Bishop Ravenscroft ; and it was admitted into union
with the Diocese at that time. It was not, however, until
1832 that St. Stephen's Church was again represented m
the Convention, and I suppose its real progress dates from
this latter year. But we are hoping to hear something of
those old times and old Churchmen from those who shall
speak to us in the commemoration of the one hundredth
anniversary of St. Stephen's, Oxford.
There must be much that is good in the past of St. Steph-
en's, because so much good is evident in its present. This
beautiful stone church, one of the most attractive among
the churches of the Diocese, is the expression of an inward
beauty and devotion, more pleasing than any structure of
timber and stone. In a large and opulent parish much
architectural grandeur and beauty may be produced by the
lavish outlay of money, without any necessary inward quali-
ties to match the outw^ard grace. Money can buy stone
and timber, glass, paint, and gilding, brass and silver and
gold. And in a strong and opulent parish these things may
also mean the fairer and more enduring gi-aces of love and
faith and humble devotion. Those who are poor need not
T) 1651
66 Address of the Bishop
imagine that tliey are thereby necessarily better than their
richer neighbors. One of the happy signs of these times
is that we see many evidences of nnsellish generosity and
humble devotion in those most abounding in this world's
goods. But when this church was built this was a small
and by no means a rich congregation. And while they were
forward in responding to their diocesan and general duties,
they found the means out of their comparatively scanty
store, to erect this beautiful building. To me it speaks
eloquently of saintly lives and strong hearts, who have
passed on before us, as well as of many good and true
Christian men and women still with us. That past must
have many elements of interest which has provided for
the Church today that which w^e now find in St. Stephen's
Church, Oxford.
Meeting here in our annual Diocesan Convention, we
cannot limit our views to our local interests and duties. We
are conscious of our wider relations; and the most impress-
ive event in our National Church in the recent past is
the death of our late Presiding Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Daniel
Sylvester Tuttle, of Missouri. Ordained Deacon at the
age of twenty-five, advanced to the Priesthood at twenty-
six, he was made Missionary Bishop of Utah and a vast
region of the unsettled West, when barely thirty, and con-
tinued in that arduous work for nineteen years, until elected
Bishop of Missouri in 1886. Upon the death of Bishop
Thos. March Clark, of Rhode Island, he became Presid-
ing Bishop by right of seniority, in September, 1903,
and for nearly twenty years has discharged the very im-
portant duties of that office with faithful diligence, having
taken order for the Consecration of one hundred and twelve
Bishops; and during his long Episcopate of fifty-six years,
taken part personally in the Consecration of eighty-eight.
His Episcopate of fifty-six years, lacking a few days, was
the longest in the history of our American Church, and
at the time of his death he had, for some years been the
Diocese of Xorth Carolina, 1923 67
Senior by Consecration of all the Bishops in the Anglican
Commnnion throughont the world. Bishop White, of Penn-
sylvania, who died in 1S36, had been Presiding Bishop
for abont forty-five years, bnt Bishop Tuttle's Episcopate
exceeded Bishop White's by seven years. His personality
has so impressed itself upon all parts of the Church that
I need say little about him. Big and masterful in body,
and also big in heart and in soul, he dominated with his
loving and generous Christian manhood any environment
in which he might find himself. Good and great and wise
and single-hearted, he was a noble representative of our
National Church, and his influence still lives and blesses
the Church and the country. He once said to me, in sub-
stance— I do not remember his exact language — that when
he saw in the House of Bishops so many noble and godly
Bishops, who had been soldiers in the Confederate army,
and found that none of our Bishops had served in the
JSTorthern army, it made him feel that he ought to have
gone into the Xorthern army himself, as he was a grown
man when the war began in 1861, and had not then entered
the ministry.
We have lost two of our very dear brethren from the
ranks of our Diocesan Clergy since we last met, though
neither of them had been in actual residence in the Diocese
for some time.
The Rev. William Hoke Ramsaur, canonically connected
with the Diocese, though for several years one of our mis-
sionaries in Liberia, died in ^Monrovia, Liberia, May 28th,
being the Sunday after Ascension] Day. llr. Ramsaur
was a native of Xorth Carolina, a graduate of our State
University, and was ordained by me both to the Diaconate '
and to the Priesthood in St. Luke's Church, Salisbury.
Among all the young men whom I have ordained to the
Holy Ministry, I do not think there has been one who
seemed to me to be of a finer type of young manhood,
physically, mentally and spiritually. Loved and admired
68 Address of the Bishop
at home, with every prospect of the most desirable and
remunerative positions which the Church has to offer, he,
from the first, devoted himself to the hardest and least
attractive fields of Foreign Missions. His first desire was
to go as a missionary among Mohammedan people, but,
failing of opportunity in that direction, he offered himself
for our w^ork in Africa. His few years spent in this work
gave gTeat promise of usefulness, but ^'he walked with God,
and was not, for God took him." His is another name in
the roll of noble lives given for our work in Africa.
June 8th, the Eev. William Walker, for many years a
Priest of this Diocese, died in Weymouth, Mass. In Senior-
ity of Orders he stood second in our Clergy List, and of
his fifty-six years in the ministry, thirty-nine were in canon-
ical connection with this Diocese. He served as parish
priest and missionary in various parts of the Diocese, but
his most important work with us was as Archdeacon of
our Colored work from 1891 to 1897. He was a man, pure,
earnest, unselfish and devoted. As a Priest he was wholly
consecrated to his work. He was by nature rather reserved,
not quickly showing his best qualities, and therefore not
always fully kno^\m or appreciated. Those who knew him
well loved him; and if he had a positive fault I never
observed it. He gave us years of faithful service, and we
remember him with love and respect.
But we must turn from these tender and solemn thoughts
of the past, and give ourselves to the duties and responsi-
bilities of the present.

ing to spend a couple of weeks in visiting one or two of the great
National Parks of the Northwest. Tuesday, August 22, walking
in the Yellowstone Park, near Yellowstone Lake, the ground
broke under my feet and scalded the lower part of both legs so
severely that I eventually had to go to a hospital in Spokane, and
did not reach Portland until Saturday night, September 16. Mon-
day, September 18, and until Saturday 23, the last six days of the
session of the General Convention, I was able to be in my place
and to take some small part in the proceedings of the House of
Bishops.
While confined to my bed in St. Luke's Hospital, Spokane, I bap-
tized an infant about to undergo a severe surgical operation. I
reached home October 6. Thus it will be seen that outside the
Diocese I oflSciated on four occasions, administered the Holy Com-
Diocese of Xorth Carolina, 1923 79
munion twice, preached once, baptized one infant, and officiated
at one funeral.
February 26, Quinquagesima Sunday, I consecrated All Saints'
Church, Roanoke Rapids. The Petition for Consecration was read
by Mr. T. Wilson Mullen, Warden, and the Sentence of Consecra-
tion, by Archdeacon Bethea. The Rev. N. Collin Hughes, D. D.,
preached the sermon.
April 28 I consecrated the Chapel of Hope, Charlotte. The Peti-
tion for Consecration was read by Mr. J. Frank Wilkes, Senior
Warden of St, Peter's Church, by which parish this important
mission was organized and has been carried on; the Sentence >f
Consecration was read by Archdeacon Hardin; I preached.
Bishop Fenick will report the Ordination of one Deacon, and
Bishop Delany has ordained one Deacon, and has advanced one
Deacon to the Priesthood, making 3 ordinations for the year.
There were the following losses of Clergy during 1922 :
The Rev. Wm. Hoke Ramsaur, died May 28, 1922.
The Rev. William Walker, died June 8, 1922.
We have lost :
By Letters Dismissory:
The Rev. Reginald Mallett, to East Carolina, June 1, 1922.
The Rev. Charles Aylett Ashby, to Florida, August 14, 1922.
The Rev. Francis Augustus Cox, to Shanghai, September 21, 1922.
The Rev. Roger Edgar Bunn, to Atlanta, Ga., October 10, 1922.
The Rev. John Laimbeer Peckham, to Western New York, Decem-
ber 15, 1922.
We gained during the 3'ear :
By Ordinated to the Diaconate:
William Bentley Crittenden (Colored), March 19, 1922.
Lewis Robert Anschutz, December 24, 1922.
By Letters Dismissory:
The Rev. Henry Gardiner Lane, from Southern Virginia, Octo-
ber 3, 1922.
Tlie Rev. George Floyd Rogers, from South Virginia, October
10, 1922.
The Rev. William Hardin Wheeler, from East Carolina, Novem-
ber 6, 1922.
Oiir gains up to January 1st, 1923, were, therefore, only
five against seven lost. This net loss of two is, however,
balanced practically by gains since the end of 1922, of
one by ordination, the Rev. Frederick Hubert Uriah Ed-
80 Address of the Bishop
wardsj and the Rev. Thomas Fletcher Opie received January
1st from East Carolina. We have also three Priests at

Much business of importance will come before this Con-
vention. I am much struck with the increasing extent of
our Diocesan interests and the increasing volume of our
Church business; the growth of our Church institutions,
the multiplication of our activities and of our agencies for
work : boards, committees, commissions, the larger interests,
the gTcater expense, and our more numerous responsibilities
on every side. And I am very thankful to say that it seems
to me that we bear these greater burdens and respond to
these varied duties with greater readiness and with more
efficient action than we used to show in our smaller affairs.
This seems peculiarly the case with the business of our
82 Address of the Bishop
Diocesan Convention. We should be most grateful to Him
Who maketh men to be of one mind in an house for His
gracious presence granted to us in these annual Conven-
tions. How harmonious as a rule have been our associations
herein^ and how much effective work have we accomplished
within the past few years ! More than anything else, I
desire a continuance of this blessed harmony in our coun-
sels and unity in our action.
Our various boards and committees will bring before
you those objects which deeply demand your attention:
St. Mary's School, the Thompson Orphanage, our Diocesan
Missionary work, administered under our three Archdeacons
in their several Convocations; and our Educational and
Social problems. These will all receive your interest and
attention. Were I to enlarge upon each, and say what
comes to my mind as bearing upon each of these branches
of our work, this Address would grow to an unreasonable
length. I am thankful to feel that you do not need my
instruction or exhortation, since you are fully alive to the
importance of our work, and know how to deal with it
effectively.
One subject has so general and fundamental a relation
to all our work and is of so pressing a nature that I must
say a few words about it. Your will understand at once
that I refer to the E'ation-wide Campaigii. After our Gen-
eral Convention last autumn in Portland, and the full dis-
cussion of the subject, and the general interest expressed in
words by representatives from all sections of the Church,
I had hoped that the Campaigii of 1922 would show great
advances, both in the receipts for 1922 and in pledges for
1923. The result, however, has been most astonishing; I
would say disheartening, if we could allow ourselves to be
disheartened in our endeavors for God's cause. I do not
at all understand how men can express in words such warm
interest in such a w^ork — and then so greatly fail to trans-
Diocese of IN'orth Carolina, 1923 83
mute their sentiments into action. Only two Dioceses paid
their quota for 1922 — West Virginia and Virginia. South-
west Virginia paid ninety per cent of her quota, and jSTorth
Carolina about eighty-seven 2^er cent. These four stand at the
head of the list. 'No other Diocese, so far as I am informed,
did so well. And for 1923 the prospect seems no better.
In our owTi Diocese the 1923 pledges approach the amount
apportioned to the Diocese; and we might look for the full
payment of our quota, except for the fact that up to the pres-
ent time the payments fall so far short of the sums sub-
scribed in the various parishes. I have no other advice to
give in this emergency than to suggest to all our people,
clergy and laity, that they consider carefully and honestly
the effect of our experience up to the present time of our
efforts in this great movement. Consider what it has done
for us in our own Diocese, and in our several congregations.
Are we not richly repaid for what we have done for the
Church beyond our diocesan boundaries, by the results here
at home ? And is it not something to be thankful for, that
we have in some real degree come up to the measure of our
responsibilities for the work of the Church in its broader
field at home and abroad ? And is it not of the vital breath
of Christianity that we should be reaching up after an ideal
which yet seems out of our reach ? ''This one thing I do ;
forgetting the things that are behind, I press toward the
mark of our high-calling." That is the I^ation-wide Cam-
paign in one practical application of the Apostle's principle
to our Church life. Let not the Diocese of JSTorth Carolina
decline from the high standard it has set before it. God
will not forget our labor of love, which love we show for
His Xame's sake when we minister to His Saints, His
Church.
The outstanding fact in the history of the Diocese of
Xorth Carolina in the year 1922 is the Election and Con-
secration of our Bishop Coadjutor. I say the Election, as
well as the Consecration, of our Bishop Coadjutor. We
84 Address of the Bishop
believe tliat the Spirit of God effectuates with His presence.
His guidance, His blessing, the solemn functions of the Body
of Christ. And never, I make bold to say, did we feel moi'e
sure of the Divine presence, guidance and blessing, than in
the solemn hour of the choosing of our Bishop Coadjutor.
Among the many happy and helpful experiences of my Epis-
copate, and of my life, I remember that as one of the best.
And the choice, thus auspiciously made, w^as carried to full
effect on the fifteenth of October, 1922, the twenty-ninth
anniversary of my own Consecration to the Episcopate. On
that day, in St. Peter's Church, Charlotte, the Rev. Edwin
Anderson Penick, D.D., was duly ordained and Consecrated
Bishop Coadjutor of this Diocese. A formal record of that
Consecration will be printed as an Appendix to the Journal
of this Convention. I need not say to this Convention that
the Bishop Coadjutor has in his pastoral and Episcopal
ministrations fully justified the action of the Convention
in choosing him for this work.
Behold, how good and pleasant a thing it is, brethren, to
dwell together in unity. We have experienced this blessing
abundantly in the past. Hay God continue it to us, and
to our children in all the years to come !
Jos. Blount Cheshire.

The period of time covered by this report begins Oct.

official acts were as follows:

rector, who assumed charge of the parish on this
date, read Evening Prayer. I preached and confirmed
a class of five candidates presented by the rector, the
Rev. George Floyd Rogers. It was a matter of deep
gratification to me that the work of this large and
important parish should proceed without interruption
following my resignation on Oct. 14. Mr. Rogers comes
to St. Peter's Church with a record of splendid achieve-
ment in the Diocese of Southwest Virginia. The
parish is to be congratulated on securing as its rector
a clergyman of such ability.

D. D., at 7:30 p. m., in Hickory, N. C, I preached at

casion to extend to the Convention fraternal greetings
from this Diocese.

Orphanage Executive Committee, held at the Orphan-
age at 11 a. m., at which time plans for a new build-
ing, to be known as the Sadie Tucker Williamson

campus was determined.

meet the members of the Congregation. That after-
noon at 3 o'clock, in Ascension Church, Davie County,
Archdeacon Hardin read Evening Prayer and I

Ordixatioxs
In St. Peter's Church, Charlotte, 11 a. m., Dec. 24, 1922,
I ordained to the diaconate, Lewis Robert Anschutz, candi-
date for Holy Orders. Mr. Anschutz was presented by the
Rev. Robert Bruce Owens, rector of the Church of the Holy
Comforter. The Epistle was read by the Rev. George Floyd
Rogers, rector of St. Peter's Church, Charlotte, who also
assisted in the administration of the Holy Communion. I
read the Litany and preached. The Rev. Mr. Anschutz was
appointed minister in charge of the Chapel of Hope, Char-
lotte, and assistant to the rector of St. Peter's Parish.
Following this report of my official acts, I feel as if my
first word to this Convention should be one of acknowledg-
ment. I have not yet and never expect to recover from the
shock of amazement that God should have called me to
such an office as Bishop in His Holy Church. Upon His
enabling grace I wholly depend. To the Bishop of this
Diocese, I am eager to make open acknowledgment for the
confidences which he has reposed in a novitiate, for his
unfailingly wise and sympathetic counsel and candid advice.
Of my fellow-laborers, the archdeacons, the clergy, and the
laity of the diocese, I ask a continued measure of the fra-
ternal and cooperative spirit which they have already and
abundant^ shown. May the God of Peace alx)und in us
all more and more, and make us perfect to do His will.
Turning to matters of practical concern in the Diocese, I
speak now of our activities in the department of
I. Religious Educatiox
(1) At the February meeting of the Executive Commit-
tee, the emplo\^nent of a Field Secretary was authorized and
the salary provided. This was a distinct forward step. The
manifold opportunities of w^ork among young people are
so compelling and complex that the addition to our diocesan
Diocese of N'orth Carolina, 1923 95
staff of a traveling expert will give much-needed unity and
direction to the programs of our Church schools, and provide
for the systematic training of leaders and teachers.
(2) Eeligious instruction in connection with the public
school system is being attempted in Calvary parish, Tar-
boro. Our leaders in education would do well to watch this
experiment with sympathetic attention, as it is directly in
line with the ideas announced by Dr. Gardiner, at the re-
cent Omaha Conference, to the effect that the average modern
Sunday school is a failure and must be supplemented by
week-day instruction as a part of the public school curri-
culum.
(3) Your attention is respectfully called to .the efforts
that are soon to be made to vitalize the interest of our youth
in the Church. A convention for 300 young people this
fall, and a camp for 50 boys this summer, will afford two
extraordinary opportunities of congenial appeal to our boys
and girls. Their success will not be magical nor inevitable.
This will depend entirely upon the manner in which local
clergy and other leaders regard their responsibility for fur-
nishing representative delegations.
(4) Of chief importance under the head of Religious
Education, is our work at the State University. Last month
at the call of President Chase, a conference of representa-
tives of the leading Christian communions in ^orth Carolina
was, held at Chapel Hill. As an outcome of this conference,
it seems probable that in the fall of 1924, Religious Educa-
tion will be offered as an elective course at the University.
The instruction will be given by highly trained Bible ex-
perts, preferably men, furnished by the different Churches
under the supervision of the University authorities. These
courses will allow credits toward a degree. It was con-
isidered best by those who have seen this system in operation
elsewhere, notably at the University of Texas, that the local
chaplain or rector should not undertake this additional work.
This would require our sending another man to Chapel Hill
as a religious instructor. As yet no definite plan has been
announced by the Unriversity, and perhaps nothing whatever
96 Address of Bishop Coadjutor
will issue from tlie recent conference on this subject. The
possibility, however, of such important action being taken,
involving our 200 communicant students, especially, and the
influence of our Church generally, cautions us to make at
least tentative provision now for furnishing our o^vn repre-
sentative, as the Dioesan Convention of 1924 will be too late
to allow for careful planning. I, therefore, beg to recom-
mend that this Convention appoint a committee, with power
to act, in providing for whatever contribution our Church
may be expected to make in cooperation with the Uni-
versity's plan for courses in religious instruction.
II. Ea^ai^gelism
It is a safe generalization that the ISTational Church is
awakening to the value of preaching missions. This is not
a departure from our traditional policies of Christian nur-
ture and consistent, conservative ministrations. It is rather
a belated recognition of the transforming power of evangeli-
cal preaching in which the facts of the gospel are presented
with sympathy and directness. Several missions of this
character held in our own Diocese within the past year have
met with appreciative response. And this appreciation is
not confined to any one class of communicants nor to any
particular locality. All sorts of people hear the story of
God's love gladly. In my opinion, the time has passed when
specific efforts in evangelism should be left to the sporadic
initiative of individual rectors. In a matter so vital, we
need to come down to a definite policy. The ISTational Church
has recognized this need. As a Diocese, should we not adopt
some kind of method or plan whereby the faithful ministra-
tions of the local minister may be stimulated and supple-
mented by the occasional prophetic voice of the stranger ? I
hope that before this Convention adjourns, some definite
action will be taken covering the matter of evangelism.
III. Church Architecture
So long as our Church continues to grow, even at the
present rate of expansion, there will be a need for new build-
ings and the acquisition of more property. This applies par-
Diocese of !N"orth Carolina, 1923 97
ticularly to small towns and rural communities. But this
healthful vigor often presents the serious local problem —
how to huild. It may happen that no one on the vestry is
acquainted even with the rudiments of Church architecture,
and the rector hesitates to advise out of a limited knowledge
and experience. The situation may be complicated by the
presence in the Congregtion of a very sensitive architect
with wide family connection, who feels that his professional
ignorance of Church building should be consulted. How
to build, where and when to build, the style of structure,
the size, the material, what constitutes good taste, what
atrocities to avoid, the policy of building for immediate
need or countenancing the hope that the Church of God will
grow — who on the average vestry is sufficient for these
things ? There are men and women in the Diocese who have
made a study of Church architecture. Their advice would
be valuable, and would gladly; be given. Why not make this
advice available to prospective builders by the creation of a
small diocesan commission of amateur experts whose in-
formed counsel would be of immediate assistance to per-
plexed committees, and elevate the present uncertain stan-
dard of Church architecture in this Diocese?
IV. The Diocesax Executive Committee
Two years ago, at the Diocesan Convention held in St.
Philip's Church, Durham, the creation of an Executive
Council was discussed, with the idea of conforming our
diocesan organization to that of the national office, and to
provide an executive body with authority to act in the
interim between our annual conventions. At that time,
such an innovation was regarded as too much of an ex-
periment to warrant the necessary changes in our Constitu-
tion and Canons that its creation would involve. Upon
Bishop Cheshire's suggestion, however, a Council of Advice
was authorized by resolution from the floor. Its duty was
to meet occasionally with the Bishop and to confer with him
in matters of common diocesan interest, especially the
Xation-wide Campaign. Two years have passed. Our
7
98 Address of Bishop Coadjutor
Diocesan Committee has, by virtue of its activity and prac-
tical usefulness, gradually assumed a valuable executive
function. It meets and determines the basis of assessment
affecting every parish and mission. It acts as a court of
appeals and listens to complaints from excessively appor-
tioned Churches. It recommends the creation of a new
diocesan office, and appropriates money for the salary. The
child of two years ago has gi^own, and now walks and talks
like a man. It seems to me that this condition requires of
us that we change our Constitution and Canons so as to
give canonical status to this body, which is now accepted
as a part of our regular diocesan organization. The prac-
tical advantage and usefulness of our Executive Committee,
in my opinion, justifies its continuance. It is no longer an
experiment. I merely ask that it be given the proper canon-
ical standing. I may add that Bishop Cheshire is in full
agreement with the following recommendation, which in
closing, I beg to make:
That the Committee on Constitution and Canons be
asked to reconsider the whole matter of formino- a Diocesan
Council, and report its conclusions at the Convention of
1924.

ADDRESS OF THE RT. REV. HEXRY B.
DELAXY, D.D.
Bishop Suffragan for Colored Work, Diocese of Xorth
Carolina
at. Bev. Fathers in God, Brethren of the Clergy, and Laity:
Being especially grateful to God for the preservation of
health, and for the additional gifts of strength, both physi-

without faltering, the responsibilities of my office for

side, I respectfully submit the following as a summary

104 Address of Bishop Suffragan
H. Hudson of Charlestown, W. Va., has accepted a call to

Other Interesting Services. — May 21 : Preached the Com-
mencement Sermon for the A. and T. College, Greensboro.

visited Winston-Salem and conferred with a Committee now
authorized to confer and to receive estimates from persons

located on the Campus of the Slater I^ormal School. May
28, Sunday after Ascension: Visited St. Michael's and All
Angels Church, Charlotte, and assisted in the services cele-
brating the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of the Rev.
James E. King and Mrs. P. A. King, his wife. May 5-10 :
Attended the sessions of our St. Augustine's Conference at
St. Augustine's School. This Conference now brings to-
gether representatives of the leading churches and schools
in the Province of Sewanee. Its meetings are helpful, its
possibilities are great. I have placed, here and there, a few
programs of the June meeting for your inspection; and
as many members of this Convention as would like to wit-
ness the workings of the ^egro when at his best, we invite to
be present.
Our Woman s Auxiliary. — This feature of our work, too
often overlooked, must be emphasized here. There are well-
organized branches of the Woman's Auxiliary in Raleigh,
Tarboro, Louisburg, Warrenton, Charlotte, and other places
of the Convocation in which regular meetings are held and
Institutes are conducted. Aside from their regular meet-
ings, their classes in Mission Study, Bible Study, Cooking
Schools, and Prayer Groups, united in sending, this year, a
box of useful articles to the sick soldiers in Greenville,
S. C. ; and help, ivhen it counted m-ost, to the sufferers of
the ISTew Bern fire.
Attention to such worthy objects of an increased circu-
lation for the Spirit of Missions; the sale of the late Miss
Julia Emery's book, ''A Century of Endeavor"; The Alas-
Diocese of Xckth Cxroia^a, 1923 105
l-an Church wan; the raising of funds for the proposed
Wm. Hoke Eamsaur Memorial Industrial School, Liberia;
the proposed Home for Wavward ^egro Girls, Efland, E". C. ;
trying, in every honorable way, to help the needy among
us, as well as to learn our duty to others ; trying to help by
prayer, gift, and service. Such is the ambition of the mem-
bers of the Woman's Auxiliary of our Colored Convocation,
and we need for such worthy organizations all the encourage-
ment that can be given.
It is fitting, just here, to express, in behalf of the colored
Branches of the Woman's Auxiliary,, our appreciation of the
fine spirit the white women of the Diocese are showing in
their offer to help us perfect a better organization of our
colored branches. On Aug. 10 our Colored Convocation
convened in the Church of the Kedeemer, Henderson, and
the good works of the parish priest and his people, under the
guidance of Mr. Lamb and the good white women of the
parish Church, actually furnished the daily luncheons
thereby reducing the responsibilities of our hostesses to a
minimum. These, and similar efforts of consideration on
their part, greatly encouraged the friends and members of
the Convocation and easilv made it one of the best we have
had.
A climax to our closing program proved of great con-
cern to me personally. The approach of the General Con-
vention troubled me, for up to that time I had received only
$50 toward my transportation. Just before the closing
hymn, the Rev. James E. King, our senior priest, arose and
assured me of the united prayers and blessings of the Convo-
cation in my behalf, and presented me with a check for
$200, it being the united gift of the workers of the four
Convocations over which I preside, toward my trip to Port-
land. To serve these Convocations faithfully and to be per-
mitted to tell you of their love and loyalty to the work, as
well as their devotion to our Mother — the Church — is all
I would ask. For them, as for you, I pledge myself to love
and to serve until serving days are o'er.
Eespectfully submitted,
Hexry B. Delaxy.

REPORT OF THE DEAF-MUTE MISSION IN THE DIOCESE
OF NORTH CAROLINA
To the Rt. Rev. Jos. Blount Cheshire. D.D., Bishop of North
Carolina:
Herewith is a summary of my work in the Diocese for the
year ending May 6, 1923.
I have delivered 134 sermons and addresses; baptized 3 infants
and 1 adult; presented for confirmation 3 persons, and conducted
1 funeral service.
Offerings received outside my regular service in Durham, $89.24;
expenses paid out, $63.55; balance on hand, $25.69.
In our work in Durham practically every deaf communicant is
a regular subscriber to the parish, the Duplex envelope being used,
and offerings made on the weekly basis. The amount contributed
by the deaf is about $400 annually.
I have conducted services in Durham, Raleigh, Burlington,
Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Kannapolis, Concord, Charlotte, Kenly,
Wilson, and Kinston; at the Deaf and Dumb School for Colored
People in Raleigh, and at the Deaf and Dumb School for White
People in Morganton. Sunday schools are maintained at Greens-
boro, Charlotte and Raleigh, where classes are held every Sunday.
In addition to these, classes have recently been organized in
Winston-Salem, and one for colored deaf people in St. Michael's,
Charlotte, where there are 18 or 20 deaf people deeply interested
in the work of the Church.
The work in Durham, where there are about 65 communicants,
grows steadily. Besides our religious services, we have our social
gatherings in the parish house at least twice a month. Our peo-
ple are happy and contented, and all are satisfied that the Church
has brought so much joy and blessing into their lives.
Outside of St. Philip's parish I have preached to more than a
thousand people, and ministered to them in other ways. Our work
is known to deaf people, not only in North Carolina, but through-
out the United States. Our organization in Durham is one of the
strongholds of the deaf in America. Recently, the Legislature of
North Carolina appointed a deaf man in the Bureau of Labor to
supervise industrial and social conditions among the deaf. This
man is Mr. J. M. Robertson, a devoted member of our Church, and
well qualified to fill the place to which he has been appointed.
Wherever I have met our clergy in the fields which I have
visited, they have been cordial and helpful. For this, I am very
grateful. The deaf people in our State appreciate deeply the op-
portunities which the Episcopal Church has opened up to them.
We thank you all.
Respectfully submitted,
Roma C. Fortune,
Minister to the Deaf in the Diocese of N. C.

REPORT OF THE SOCIAL SERVICE COMMISSION
The Social Service Commission has found that there is such a
vague idea in the minds of so many of our people as to the real
meaning of Christian Social Service, that the first step we must
take is to have a campaign of education. We recommend for
study, "The Social Opportunity of the Churchman," and "Social
Service Through the Parish," issued by the National Department.
For this work we have tried to prepare ourselves by studying, by
attending the National Conference, by giving courses in summer
schools, etc. Since our last report, members of the Commission
have made addresses at the meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary in
Chapel Hill and Rocky Mount.
It is interesting to note the activity of the women of the Diocese.
At their Convention held in Raleigh in April, it was made known
that they had representation on the Women's Legislative Council
of the State, composed of representatives of the Federation of
Women's Clubs, Parent-Teachers' Association, Professional and
Business Women's, Christian Temperance Union, and League of
Women Voters, thus adding the Church to it. The Bishops en-
dorsed this. This in a great forward step, as it represents an in-
terest in society.
They offered themselves for parole work over girls from Samar-
cand, each Auxiliary taking any girl in their town out on parole
from Samarcand as their special charge.
We feel that the Church in our Diocese should adopt a program
in regard to our social service work. The matter was brought be-
fore a meeting of the Executive Comittee, and the Chairman was
empowered to call a conference with men from National Head-
quarters, and other authorities on the subject, that the subject
may be brought to our attention in such a way that we may be
able to adopt a definite policy for our Diocese to pursue. The sum
of $250 was appropriated for this conference. We believe this is
a great step forward.
The Commission also suggested to the Executive Committee that
the Church should have a definite policy in the work in industrial
centers. A conference was called in Greensboro, of men from the
Charlotte Convocation who were familiar with the work in such
centers, and a suggested program was prepared. A similar meeting
for the Convocation of Raleigh was arranged, and their suggestions,
together with those of the other Convocations, wilt form the mater-
ial from which a third Committee will formulate our Diocesan
policy to be presented to this Convention for adoption.
The Commission has interested itself in the building of a chapel
for the use of Christian bodies at Samarcand, and one member,
Mrs. Burgwyn, has been very successful in the raising of funds for
the building. Dr. Pratt, another member of this Committee, has
11601
Diocese of !N'orth Carolina, 1923 161
recently been elected president of the North Carolina Conference
for Social Service, thus bringing us into close touch with this body.
He has been much interested in the matter of prison reform and
has made addresses to the Committee of One Hundred appointed
by the Governor to look into this matter. One of the Commission
served on a Committee to investigate the proposal of the hospital
trustees of Grace Hospital, Morganton, in regard to the taking
over of the tubercular pavilion as a tri-diocesan institution.
We believe the Conference on Social Service will be the means
whereby we can arrive at something as a definite objective; and,
until its program is presented, we shall make no recommendations
or proposals, except to urge the clergy to make an effort to attend
and give the Conference their hearty cooperation and sympathy.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs. W. H. S. Bukgwyn.
Jos. Hyde Pratt.
Lewis N. Taylor, Chairman.
REPORT OF THE REV. WALTER J. SMITH
Rt. Rev. Joseph Blount Cheshire, D.D., Raleigh, N. C.
My dear Bishop:
Since retiring from the charge of the Thompson Orphanage and
Training Institution on Sept. 1, 1922, to January 1, 1923, my official
acts have been as follows:
In the absence of the Superintendent, Mr. Wheeler, I have held
six services at the Orphanage on Sundays and two on Wednesday;
administered the Holy Communion twice; assisted Mr. Wheeler at
five services, and with his permission officiated at one marriage,
all of which are included in the report of the Orphanage Chapel.
I administered the Holy Communion once at a private home for
invalids, using the public form.
In Calvary Church, Tarboro, I assisted at one service and spoke
at two missions at night. In Trinity Church, Scotland Neck, I
officiated morning and night in the absence of the rector, and
baptized one adult (colored).
Yours faithfully,
Charlotte, N. C, Walter J. Smith.

acts during the year ending Dec. 31, 1922:
I have administered Holy Baptism to 1 infant in public; 1 adult
in private; conducted 1 burial service; conducted in whole or in
part, 16 celebrations of the Holy Communion in public, and 6
celebrations and administrations in private.
I have presided as chairman of the Executive Committee of
the Board of Managers of the Thompson Orphanage and Training
Institution once a month during the greater part of the year,
and at many extra meetings of the same.
I have also made many visits to St. Peter's Hospital, and a few
visits to persons in private homes.
Feeble health has hindered me much during a good part of the
year.
Very truly and faithfully, your obedient servant,
Edwin A. Osborne.

Preaching Missions •'■
In reviewing the work of the Convocation for the past year, we
find abundant cause for thanksgiving and encouragement. True, it
has not been wholly free from discouragements of one sort or
another, but they have been so greatly overshadowed by evidences
of spiritual and material growth, as to leave no room for doubt that
the spirit of God has been working mightily in our midst, and that
we are moving steadily forward to even finer and better things.
During the summer months, owing to the nation-wide strike
among the railroad shop-crafts, many of our people were without
employment, making it exceedingly difficult for them to meet their
pledges in full; yet, notwithstanding this adverse condition, many
real sacrifices were made, which enabled us, along with the help
derived from our several splendid trust funds and other special
contributions, to pay our appropriations in full, with a neat balance
in bank to our credit.
During the first four and a half months of the year, all of our
missions were supplied, with the exception of St. David's, Laurin-
burg.
On May 15, much to our regret, the Rev. James Reginald Mallett,
after more than two years of very excellent and constructive work
in the Mt. Airy group of missions— Mt. Airy, Germanton, and Wal-
nut Cove— removed to the Diocese of East Carolina; however, on
March 15 of the present year, the Rev. William J. Wright, who for
some time past has been in charge of the work of Statesville and
St. James, was transferred to that field, with headquarters at Walnut
Cove, where a very comfortable rectory has recently been provided.
On January 1, 1922, the Rev. Cortez R. Cody was placed in charge
of St. Paul's, Monroe, and St. Timothy's, Union County. Mr. Cody
has been most zealous and untiring in his efforts, and has achieved
very gratifying results.
[1631
164 Repokts of Archdeacoa's axd Treasurers
On the date above mentioned, the missions at Rockingham and
Hamlet, which for many years had been served jointly with Monroe,
asked that they be cut off from the latter place, pledging them-
selves for the entire support of a minister. The Rev. Howard S.
Hartzell took over the work without delay, and is carrying it on
in a manner most acceptable to all concerned.
The little flock at Laurinburg has for some time past been ex-
ceedingly anxious to secure a resident clergyman. Although few
in numbers, they have pledged themselves for $750 toward the
salary of a minister, and I am happy to say that Bishop Cheshire
has agreed to give a like amount from the Holt Fund, so we hope
to have things going there with as little delay as possible.
Too much can not be said of the excellent work which is being
done by the Rev. William J. Gordon, and his wife, sister and
mother, in Spray and Leaksville, and Miss Lillie Hill at Galloway
Farm. Mr. Gordon's congregation at Spray has long since out-
grown the present quarters, and a movement is on foot to erect a
combination Church and parish house in the near future, at a cost
of approximately $10,000 on a very desirable site recently donated
for that purpose by the Marshall Field Mill Company. The work
in these missions has assumed such proportions that it is neces-
sary to have an assistant minister, and arrangements have been
made for his support.
During the past ten or twelve years much has been said and
written concerning the work at Mayodan, but never since the re-
moval of the Rev. Alfred Berkley from that field has there been
greater cause for encouragement than at present. The Rev. Harry
C. Mazyck and his faithful helpmate are making the influence of
the Church keenly felt throughout that section. We are indeed for-
tunate in having two such zealous, consecrated workers in our
Convocation as Mr. and Mrs. Mazyck, and we trust they will remain
with us for many years to come.
I desire also to make special mention of the truly splendid work
which is being done by the Rev. Jos. D. C. Wilson and his co-
laborers in the Cooleemee group of missions — Cooleemee, Ascen-
sion, Davie County, Woodleaf, and Cleveland. One must visit this
field to fully appreciate the importance of the work, as well as
the systematic methods which are being employed by this active,
wide-awake young priest in its development. So rapidly has the
work progressed under his leadership that a division of the field
has become necessary. A very substantial rectory is now in process
of construction at Cleveland, and when completed, Mr. Wilson is to
confine his labors to that place and Woodleaf, and another man
must be secured for the work in Davie county — Cooleemee and
Ascension Church, and the mission at Mocksville, which we hope
Diocese of IN'orth Carolina^ 1923 165
to revive as soon as some necessary repairs can be made on the
chapel.
During the past year the Salisbury missions — St. Paul's and St.
Peter's — under the leadership of the Rev. Thos. L. Trott, have made
very satisfactory progress. The old building in the rear of St.
Peter's Church, through the efforts of the lay reader, Mr. Francis
J. Murdoch, and his excellent wife, has recently been overhauled
and converted into a very neat and commodious parish house,
which is rapidly becoming the religious and social center of the
community.
On the 15th of this month the Rev. Thomas L. Trott will take
over the work at Statesville and St. James, Iredell County. At
this latter place the prospect for growth has never been more hope-
ful. Our people there are manifesting a zeal and enthusiasm that
is most refreshing, and the Sunday school attendance was never so
good as at present.
Another source of encouragement is the extrordinarily fine work
which is being done at the Chapel of Hope in Charlotte by the Rev.
Lewis R. Anschutz, deacon in charge, who is working under the
immediate supervision of the rector of St. Peter's parish, which
contributes generously in the matter of support. Here we have a
striking example of what can be accomplished by well-directed and
untiring energy. Certainly no better work is being done in the
Charlotte Convocation.
The Archdeacon is ministering jointly to the Kannapolis and
China Grove Congregations. The services are well attended, and
much interest is being manifested.
While the Archdeacon is not directly concerned with parishes,
yet I cannot refrain from expressing my very great delight that
we have recently added to the clergy list of our Convocation the
Rev. Thomas F. Opie of Holy Comforter Church, Turlington; the
Rev. I. Harding Hughes of Holy Trinity, Greensboro; the Rev.
George Floyd Rogers of St. Peter's, Charlotte, and the Rev. H.
Norwood Bowne of St. Mary's, High Point. All of these parishes
deserve to be congratulated upon their choice of a leader.
In conclusion, I wish to say that our increased Episcopal super-
vision, which makes it possible for our missions to have more
frequent visits from a Bishop than our beloved diocesan was able
to make unaided, is going to be a wonderful stimulus to the work.
The Bishop Coadjutor, since his Consecration, has, I think, visited
all the parishes and missions in the Convocation; and not only
has he endeared himself to his people, but they have been greatly
uplifted by his very practical and highly spiritual messages
Respectfully submitted,
Wm. H. Hardin,
Archdeacon.

REPORT OF THE ARCHDEACON OF RALEIGH
Rt. Rev. Father' in God and Brethren of the Convention:
Your Archdeacon took charge of his work on the first day of
January. During the year, he has traveled about 12,000 miles,
preached 116 times, baptized one adult and five children and of-
ficiated at three weddings and four funerals.
The travel, office, and incidental expenses have been $452.34, and
the offerings at the several services, $473.31.
The house formerly occupied by the Archdeacon was sold for
$7,000 and the present one bought for $6,900. The difference in
cost was used in the adjustment of the insurance and in screening
the house.
The building, at the time of purchase, was in need of covering
and needed a new bathroom downstairs. A substantial slate roof
was put on the building, at an expense of $252.50, and repairs to
the plumbing and gas amounted to $55 more, making a total of
$307.50. The Archdeacon asked for special offerings, and secured
enough to meet this expense and to leave a balance in the bank of
$33.08.
Diocese of IsTokth Carolina, 1923 169
Changes in the clergy list and in the fields of labor are noted
in the address of the Bishop; but we may note that there has
been an increase of three clergymen in the Convocation, that all the
fields are filled but one and that the Archdeacon has be^un services
in Lillington and Carthage, as well as at the State Farm, the State
Sanatorium for Tuberculosis, and at Samarcand, the State institu-
tion for delinquent girls.
The Church and parish house at Duke were burned on the first
day of the year. The contract has been let for a nice brick
structure to replace the burned wooden one, and, together with a
gift of $1,000 from the Church Building Fund Commission, enough
cash and pledges are in hand to complete it, free from debt.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF THE NATION-
WIDE CAMPAIGN
It seemed unwise, in the fall of 1922, to outline a definite plan for
the Nation-wide Campaign in the Diocese, until after the General
Convention had met in Portland and handed down its own plan.
Your Committee did send out in August, 1922, one letter which
merely reminded the clergy that the campaign would be renewed
in the fall, and that the Church should be made ready for it.
In October, headquarters were established in Durham. Most of
the work was carried on from the central office; although several
conferences were held, and a goodly number of the clergy visited
places where they were sent, and did effective work wherever they
went. We should like to mention them all by name, and give to
each his personal and deserved recognition but the list is long, and
it might omit many who were perfectly willing to serve, but who
were- not specifically called upon.
The quota for the Diocese of North Carolina was fixed at $80,000,
of which $36,000 was for the General Church and $44,000 for the
Diocese. This amount was apportioned to the respective parishes
and missions, and all were promptly notified of what was expected
of them in the Every-Member Canvass:, to be held in most cases on
the first Sunday in December. In passing, your Committee would
recommend as a more suitable time for holding the Every-Member
Canvass, the second Sunday in December, in order that there may
be no conflict with the annual memorial exercises of one of our
great fraternal orders, which always holds its memorial exercises
on the afternoon of the first Sunday in December.

Diocese of ITokth Cakolina, 1923 171
It is our judgment that most of the clergy in our Diocese are
vitally interested in the Nation-wide Campaign. Many parishes
were ably organized; mission study-classes were held; group meet-
ings were conducted ; parish conferences were called ; and literature,
in some instances, was freely distributed. If there were some who
appeared unresponsive and unsympathetic, let us trust that it was
more in the seeming than in the reality. Never before has the
Church discovered so fine and constructive a plan for its general,
diocesan, and parochial development as it noiv offers to us through
the Nation-wide Campaign. Not to cooperate is retrogressive and
reactionary. The Diocese or the parish that refuses to conform
starves its own life.
Our quota is $80,000. Pledges secured are $70,696.93, or a little
above 88 per cent of the amount expected and required. This leaves
a little less than 12 per cent to be accounted for in the terms of
human weakness, such as inability, indifference, or unwillingness
to play the game. What proportion of it is inability and what
proportion indifference, we shall not undertake to say. On the
whole, the showing is fair, seeing that only 17 Churches out of 106
subscribed less than they were apportioned.

period from January 1, 1922 to January 31, 1923, covering all funds apply-
ing to the fiscal year 1922.
We verified all cash transactions, tracing receipts into bank deposits
and checking all disbursements with cancelled checks. We post checked
all entries to general ledger, and did such other work as we deemed neces-
sary to convince ourselves of the clerical accuracy of the books and records.
We found the books to be well kept and in double entry balance.

The apportionment of the Colored Churches for
the vear 1922 was $ 1,650.00
Total amount paid 1,840.63
Amount overpa id $ 190 . 63
In addition the Colored Churches paid for special
objects S 107.00

The number of Churches overpaying their apportionment was 40
The number paying the exact amount of apportionment was 19
