In the morning the P.ishop
read his address and report of
his work for the year just past,
the report demonstrated -that
the Bishop had labo ed faith
fully. His work would have
been almost unremitting had he
not suffered from two severe at
tacks of sickness, which pre
vented him from accomplishing
as much as he had wished. This
report was very interesting.

Common sense ! What is it?
Who can define it ? Who can
put the label on the genuine ar
ticle? His Honor Judge Shipp
probably hit the nail on the
head, in a ct.rtaiu sense, with a
new and i;ovel idea of this ar
ticle at the last term of the
Suncrior Court of Sampson. lie
t
defined common sense as the
average sense or opinion of an
indefinite number of individu
als on any yiveu question. That
is, tace the opinion of ten or
one hundred men on some topic
with which they are familiar
and the general thread of
their opinions would be the
common sense view. But is
there no such thing as individ

It is not very creditable to
the farmers of Western North
Carolina that one merchant in
Ilfiidersonville has imported
from the West 5,000 bushels of

10,000 bushels moie before au

failure in the section into which
this Western com has bean ship

some good excuse for this;
but in a land where corn grows
well, and whe.e abundant ciops
can be raised if planted, there
is no well grounded reason for
it. The farmer in North Caro

After addressing the children in
words intended for their encour
agement and the encouragement
of the Sisters who had taught
them so well and so devotedly,
I was shown specimens of carv
ing done by the little bys, and
of drawing ant1, sewing done by
the girls. The children are also
taught how to cook. I was told
that as many as 120 children
had attended this institution at
one time. I shall ever remem

who was in charge of this

Mr. S. S- Nash, commissioner
from the Diocese of North Car
olina, addressed the Council on
the subject of appropriating a
portion of the legacy received
bv this Diocese under the will
and from the estate of Miss
Smith, to the support of a Rec
tor at the University ot iNonii
Carolina. He also, m the name
of his Diocese, invited the next
Council of East Carolina to join
that of North Carolina in cele
brating the centennial of the
organization of the first Conven
tion of churchmen in Nortli
Carolina, to be held In Calvarj
Church, Tarboro, next May.
B5 resolution the Council
cheerfully accepted the invita
tion of the Council of North
Carolina to unite with them in
the centennial services to be
held at Taiborough.
They also fixed the 14th day
of May, 1890, as the day of the
next annual meeting of the
Council, and Greenville, in Pitt
county, as the place.
They respectfully declined to
accede to the request of theDi
w-cese of North Carolina to make
an annual appropriation for the
support of a Rector at Chapel
Hill.
By resolution the securities
and monies received from the
legacy of Miss Smith were ap
plied to the increase of the Per
manent Episcopal lund.
THIRD DAY.
On the morning of the third
day an earnest and protracted
debate sprang up in regard to
the recommendation of the Fi
hance Committee that there
should he a capitation tax put
UDon each communicant in the
Diocese in order to raise the cur
rent expenses of the Diocese
which includes the Bishop's sal
ary, &c.
Col. Atkinson warmly support
ed the capitation tax.
Kev. Kobt. strange opposed
the per capita tax and addressed
the Council at length, earnestly

j-titute offered by Mr. Strange as

Col. DeRosset moved to lay
he whole matter on the table,
which motion was passed.
The chief feature of the af
ternoon session was tue report
of the committee appointed by
he Council cf 1888 to report to
this Council on the "Proposed
changes in the Prayer Book."
Justice cannot be done this
admirable report without giving
t in full. This, its length for
bids us to do. In the main while
accepting the changes a'ready
made it discourages any further
change unless the work of revi
sion be submitted to "a confer
ence of all the branches of the
nglican Communion." For my
art I dread the issae of this
revision anu coum wish it were
well through with. What with
revising tne jjidic, revising tne
rayer Book and revising the
Hymnal, we have had quite
enough of revision and many
of us begin to long for a settled
basis to rest 011.
lUIDAY EVENING
there was a service in St. James'
and a sermon was preached by
the Rev. J. W.Turner, Rectoi of
St. Paul's church, of Clinton.
On Saturday afternoon many
of the Council, myself among
the number, enjoyed an excur
sion to uaroiina ueacn, in re
sponse to an invitation tendered
the Council by three of the city
parishes.
On Sunday morning St. Paul's
church was consecrated, Bishop
Watson preaching the sermon
with usual vigor.
Among those who took part
in the services was the Hector

The closing exercises of Belle-

address by the orator of the day,
who had made himself famous
as a stump speaker, in the re

the popular and efficient Read

his most genial and appropriate
introductory remarks put his

Mn. Enrron: As I have been

in the Railway Service of the
United States, and upon one of
the principal fast lines of Amer
