retary takes occasion to submit a brief
reference to reports on file in his de-

OMIT OBEY FROM
MARRIAGE VOWS
PRESBYTERIANS ISSUE NEW
BOOK OF WORSHIP
Special Committee Works Three Years
over Form-strueeie to Have
Innovation Adopted--Leaders
May Refrain From Use
Nv Aeaoclaied preeu.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 7.-The book of
common worship has just been pub
lished with the authority Of the Pres
byterian general assembly. For three
years a special committee on forms
and services Of the general assembly,
headed by the Rev. DIR. Henry Van
Dyke has been working on this new
prayer book.
The approval OF the general assem-
bly, to the Innovation was not secured
without n struggle as many Presbyter-
ians objected to any form" in the
church.
1t is expected by Presbyterian leaders
that some churches will refrain from
using the new book, but in the east
and in the large cities Of the country
generally II is expected to be largely
adopted.
Like Episcopal Book
In many particulars the book of
common worship has points of similar
ity to the Episcopal book Of common
prayer.
The marriage ceremony in the new
book omits the word "obey," to which
so many have objected, and it also
omits the reference to worldly goods"
with which the man and the woman
in some marriage forms "endow'' each
other.
1t is noted that although the book
was, of course, planned long before the
San Francisco calamity, one of the
prayers it contains is especially appli-
cable to that disaster, and shows how
carefully the book has been planned
to meet unusual circumstances. The
prayer reads:
Provides Special Prayer
"Almighty God. who art a very pres
ent help in time of trouble; let not the
heart Of thy people fail when fear
cometh, but do thou sustain and COM
fort them until these calamities be
overpast; and since thou knowest the
cause and reason why this grievous
disaster of earthquake and fire hath
fallen upon men so do thou heal the
hurt and wounded, console the be-
reaved and afflicted, protect the inno-
cent and helpless, and deliver any who
are still in peril. FOR thy great mercy's
sake. Amen

by asking that the award be continued

This was agreed to. In taking up the
