Washington, Oct. 5. - A notable assemblage of the clergy and laity of the protestant episcopal church will be brought together at the triennial council, which begins here tomorrow, and continúes for three weeks. The council is the legislative organization of the episcopal church in America and is made up of two bodies, a house of bishops and a house of clerical and lay delegates. The last council was held at Minneapolis three years ago. Among the subjects to be discussed the questlon of marriage and divorce will doubtless occupy a prominent place. The report oí the joint commission on the constitution and canons of the church is by far the heaviest piece of work before the convention.
