bedside of Affierbach Both agreed that
the wedding should take place in spite of
the accident The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. Miles A. Keegan, OF

nurse her husband, who will be brought
to the PrankfoTd Hospital today.

NOT ALL AGREE WITH HIM

Alterations in the marriage. baptismal
copal Church, recommended to the Gen.
eral Conference at Saratoga, are viewed
with diversity of opinion by clergymen
In this city.
Leaders Of religious thought who are af-
f1llated with other branches of the Chris
tian Church than those Of the Methodist
denomination generally hold that comment
upon the suggested changes would trans
gress the bounds of professional cour-
tesy" and decline to express their views
publicly maintaining that the question Is
altogether one for the consideration and
action of the Methodist Church itself and
not of concern to other creeds. Others,
however. do not hesitate to take the
ground that the Methodist Church in sug-
gesting the amendments Is taking a step
which other religious bodies may follow.
In brief, the report of the Commission
on Revision of the Ritual, to which the
matter was referred by the General Con-

ON PROPOSAL TO MODIFY
RITUAL OF METHODISTS
Radical Changes in Service of
Church Proposed in Reso-

Conference
SUFFERED TWO DEFEATS

SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. Y, May s.
Radical changes in the service OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church were pro-
vided In a revised ritual which was sub
mitted to the General Conference today
for action.
This marked the third attempt at re-
vision, previous efforts In 1908 and 1912
having proved unsuccessful Any change
in the language of the historic ritual,
which John Wesley provided for his fol-
lowers when he instituted the church.,
has always been opposed by the con-
servatives.
Among the changes suggested by the
revisionists was the proposition that the
devil be stricken from a1gpassages and
that the word "sln" be substituted.
A service for the burial of children and
receiving them into the church is also
provided.
The words "and with my worldly goods
thee endow" are stricken from the mar
