do not believe that this arfnd-

this government that it is 81 the
people. In some of the Eaiern
states all the people of a bwn
meet and enact such regulaons
as a majority deem for thfub-
lie good. This, as we seei t is
government by the people. The
next best is government by
elected representatives OF the
people, and the more nearl are

PROPOSITION.
Proposal Of Remarriaoe Of Divorced
Persons viii BE Considered by

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
st. Louis.-The house of deputies
of the general convention Of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church here reject
ed the proposal to embody in its can
ons a provision forbidding its clergy
men to solemnize marriage for a per-
son divorced from a living spouse.
The six hours debate which pre-
coded the action indicated wide diff
ference Of opinion among members of
the church. The recommendation was
contained in the report of joint com.
mittee composed Of five bishops, five
clergymen and five laymen, appoint.
ed three years ago to study matters
relating to matrimony.
BY its action the lower house OF
the convention placed in allegiance
for at least three years further con.
stderation Of any such amendment.
The present canon provides that a
clergyman Of the church may re.
marry the innocent party" to a d.
vorce granted on statutory grounds
The proposal, however, is pending
in the house Of bishops, the upper
house, and will be brought to vote.
Such action will be merely for the
purpose of indicating the attitude of
the bishops, for no change in the can
ons can be made without concurrence
of both houses.
That the American church send q
deputation of bishops. priests, laymen
and laywomen to England to aid the
church there in meeting unprecedent.
