THE custom of bowling at the name
of Jesus 10 the Creed, is said to have
been established as early as the time
of the Arian heresy In the fourth
century. Ii was to give marked EN-
phasis to the assertion Of the perfect
Divinity of Chris. Bowling down or
l;neeling Is an act of reverence or
homage. This gesture always brought

Jesus every knee shall bow and
tongue confess" It is still observed
in all Episcopal Churches. A canon
Of the English Church says: At the
name of Jesus lowly reverence shall
be made" >
