of Ceremonies Tokio, Dec. 4.
The Rev. Joseph S. Motoda will be consecrated Bishop of Tokio at St. Timothy's Church on the. morning of December 7. This is the first instance in the history of the Anglican Church throughout the world of an independent national church electing its own bishop in a self-supporting diocese. The presiding bishop will be Bishop McKim of North Tokio, and Bishop Heas-lett of South Tokio and Bishop Lea of Kiushu will together officiate at the consecration. The sermon will be delivered by Bishop Gailor of Tennessee. Bishop Scott, of -Shantung, will represent the Church in China.
Similarly, the Rev. Y. Naide will be consecrated Bishop' of Osaka at Christ Church in that city on December 11. Henceforth the two Japanese Bishops will hold control within their respective metropolitan areas. The American Bishop McKim and the British Bishop Heaslett will have jurisdiction over the North and South areas outside Tokio and Osaka.—Reuter.
