CT. LOUIS, oct. 2.-Remarriage Of
- divorced persons-one Of the par
amount issues before the Protestant
Episcopal triennial convention-prO-
voked spirited three hour debate at
today's session OF the house OF depu-
ties.
After several vain efforts TO bring
TO a vote a proposal to amend the
canons of the church to provide that
no divorced person having n partner
still living shall have a wedding cere-
mony performed by clergyman Of
the church, further discussion OF the
issue was postponed until next sat
urday. The house of bishops. the up
per house. announced 1T would con-
slider the proposal when presented to
them.
A score of clergymen and laymen
arguing from scriptural and legal
angles, participated in the debate in
the house of deputies. which began
with the submission by the Reverend
Charles f.. j Wrigley OF Brooklyn OF
the report Of the Joint commission on
legislation on matters relating TO holy
matrimony. This report recommended
that tho present canon OF the church
which permits clergyman Of the
church to perform the marriage cere-
mony In the case Of the innocent party
to a divorce, granted on statutory
grounds, provided the case has the ap-
proval of the diocesan bishop, be
changed to read:
mo marriage shall be solemnlzed
in this church between parties either
Of whom has n husband or wife still
living who has been divorced for any
cause arising after marriage"
In presenting the report DR. Wrlg-
lev intimated that the proposed canon
would bring the church into harmony
with the Roman Catholic church and
that II would protest against the
most scandalous condition that ever
existed in the United States" other
speakers urged that the proposed can
on would be ineffective because it
makes no distinction between the mass
OF trivial offenses for which our
courts grant divorces and the great
crime OF adultery" He quoted the
