SPEAKS IN LAITY's BEHALF.

George r. Fairbanks Of Florida followed and
spoke to the much-debated question. He said
he had simply taken. the platform to assert the
rights OF the IaitY. Continuing he said:
4 the only member OF the laitY with
a vote In this body who has taken a stand On
this subject. We of the laity, we people Of
the pews are 500 TO one of you. You are
simply delegated to read to US We are TO
understand what you read and We want to un-
derstand ii correctly. We want you TO have
the privilege Of reading the Scriptures cor
rectly to us The committee has done its
work faithfully and I hope its report will be
adopted by this house.
The Rev. Frederick A. de Rosset followed
and said in part:
ANY member of this house committee or
any in the world has perfect right to
print. publish. circulate and freely distribute
any part portion Of the Bible that he wishes
with any comment or with any Interpretation
or translation Of the Scriptures. For num-
Der Of years a committee composed Of the
best in the Protestant Episcopal church
of America has undertaken and endeavored to
set forth a Bible with certain marginal in
terpretations or new translations. The learned
committee has consulted everything that was
in their reach-and presume everything in
the world OF literature was in their reach and
consulted by them-and has presented to US a
Well-digested report.
We do not propose to alter the text of the
Bible, but we DO propose to let grow up along
side OF II and find there a glossary and mar
ginal reading that shall interpret it from gen

BISHOPS PROHIBIT RE- MARRIAGE
Continued From Page Two.
cause existing before such former
marriage.


Canon 36 does not forbid parties who
have been divorced from remarrying, but
does forbid a minister of the Episcopal
church from performing such ceremony.
Canon 81, which is akin to the one
adopted yesterday, will probably be
adopted to-day by the House of Bishops.
1t provides that the innocent party in
cases Of adultery is not liable to disci-
pline.
In the discussion yesterday the Bishops
seemed to be of the opinion that in cases
where the civil law has separated the
parties if one feels a desire to marry by
Gods law he or she better go to the civil
authorities and have the ceremony per
formed. The reason expressed for such
a course was not that they felt absolutely
certain that the law of God approves such
marriages, but they did not feel absolute
ly certain that the law of God allowed
them. In consideration of the subject the
Bishops made it evident that they be-
lieved there was colusion in many cases
of divorce.
The canon yet to pass is as follows:
No person divorced for arising after
marriage and marrying again during the life
time of the other party to the divorce, nor any
person marrying person so divorced. shall be
admitted to baptism confirmation. be per-
mitted to receive the holy communion, except
when penitent and, If the other party to the
subsequent marriage be then living. when sep
arated from such other party, or when penitent
and in immediate dhnger Of death; but this
provision shall not apply to the innocent party
to a divorce for the cause Of adultery.
No person shall be denied baptism or con-
frmation or the holy communion under this

The Girls Friendly Society is the

its strength it is frequently referred to
as the handmaiden of the church. The
society is not as strong on the Pacific
Coast as in the East. but a determined
effort IS to be made to strengthen it in
this locality. President Mrs. Thomas Rob-
erts and Miss Thomas. vice president and
organizer, announced at the meeting last
night that they would meet with the girls
ard their friends next Monday afternoon
in the assembly hall Of the church for
