The general couven' len OF the Protes-
tsnt Episcopal church of the United
States has been engaged at the re-
wishing Of its canon on marriage.
The purpose is to prohibit clergymen
from officiating st the marriage of
divorced individuals while the re-
pudisted consort is Yet living. This
proposition is based on 3 text in the
Gospel secording to Luke where such
marrying is declared TO be aduiterous.
The Gospel sccording 10 Matthew,
however, has the same declaration
twice repeated with the exception
where there IS fornjcstion. The dis
position has been to confine this ex-
ceptiDg clsRse Ia the s1ricIest con-
siruciioa. but this Is evidently unvsr-
rsn;ed. In bible usage the terms for
