never attend church. Chancellor Light

| clergymen, pointed out that a rector
| is not justified in making false reports
| Of membership or in imposing upon
| actual communicates the parochial re-
| sponsibilities of communicates merely
nominal. The question was referred
| to the committee on legislation for a
| report next year.
