VOTE A CHANGE
IN PRAYER BOOK
Episcopal Deputies Favor Eve
ming Prayer for President
in Morning.

ST. Louis, Oct. 1.-THE House Of
Deputies Of the general convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church to-day
voted to remove the present prayer for
tho President of the United States from
tho service of morning prayer and to
substitute therefor the evening prayer for
the President
The morning prayer as now in the
praycrbook asks for the President the
boon lin health. and prosperity long to
live. The evening prayer, while con-
tanning an intercession for the President
has no reference to long life. health or
prosperity. Neither does it ask for his
eternal felicity.
The change, which was adopted at the
suggestion of the commission on prayer
book, must be approved by the House of
Deputies and by the next general con-
vention before it can become effective.
The Rev. Leighton Parks of New York.
who spoke in favor of the change, said
the present prayer in the morning serv-
ice was an adaptation Of the prayer for
the King in the prayerbooh of the Church
of England, and that il was trivial to
pray for the health. prosperity and long
life of the President
In the House of Deputies the day
largely was occupied by the reading of
mon prayer The recommendations of
the commission appointed at the last gen
cral convention to study the problem were
discussed
The House of Bishops holding its meet
ings behind closed doors. also spent the
day considering the proposed changes.
Skilful parliamentary manoeuvring
saved the resolution admitting women
to membership in the House of Deputies
from being killed by an adverse COM
mittee report From the time of the
church's first convention, in Philadelphia
in 1855, men only have been allowed to
represent dioceses on the floor.
Cognizance of the European war was
taken in both houses of the convention
