Hats Change Communion.

Norristown, Pa. Nov. AT
communion services in the Haws
Avenue Methodist Church yester-
day, the pastor, Rev. Frank h.
Graeff, made the request OF the
congregation that the women take
the communion cup in their own
hands as he passed it among them on
Bonded knee before the altar rail.
In explanation, he said he found
this course necessary, by reason OF the
fact that the big hats worn by the
women made it impossible for him to
see whether the communicates re-
ceived any OF the wine when he lifted
it to their lips. As result OF the an
nounccment each woman, instead OF
being helped to the wine, helped
herself, and the.pastor was satisfied that
all had communed prCpry.
