that of the vestry to the parish. It is a sort of sub-
Convention, authorized to act, at all times, in certain
specific matters, which the Convention has the primary
right to control, but cannot manage conveniently.*
The chief duty of the Standing Committee is to examine and recommend postulants for the ministry, for
candidateship, and for ordination; and no candidate can
be ordained except through this recommendation.f

Bishop, when he desires their advice; and they may
also advise him whensoever they themselves see fit to
do so.
