A proposal to curtail the author~ ity of the House of Bishops was re~ jected by that body at the conven~ tion, defeating a step toward de~ centralization of the administrative functions. Government of th'is church is similar to that of the United States, legislative authority at the conventions being vested in two houses, of which the general representative group is the House of D eputies. "The church," said the convention in a message to the clergy, "must not sit quietly by when the world faces acute social and economic problems. The church is intensely concerned with these crises which bring misery and need to God's children." Bishop Tucker, who will struggle with these problems in a world filled with turmoil, suspicion and money trouble, was born in W ar~ saw, a small town on an eastern peninsula of tidewater Virginia July 16, 1874. He entered the Uni~ versity of Virginia a few years after the rebirth of Pi Kappa Alpha and was initiated in the Founders' chap~ ter. In 1895 he was graduated The Rt. Rev.
