Numerous REFORMS
IN RUSSIAN CHURCH
Admiral Scheer Believes We
Can't Get Army Over
Quick Enough.

Moscow, Thursday, Aug. 30.-The
Economical Congress of the Orthodox
church, which Is "empowered to re-
form the church within the limita-
tions prescribed by Holy Writ and
by the dogmas, canons and tradi-
tions of the church." held its first
business session today. The congress
Ia expected to sit continuously for
two months completing its labors be-
fore the convocation of the constitu-
ent assembly to which body the pro-
posals OF the congress for the future
inter- relations of church and state
will be submitted for confirmation.
Within the next few days there will
be laid before the congress large
number of reform bills. prepared
since the revolution by M. Lvoff, who
recently retired as Procurator Of the
Holy Synod. and all of which had
been given provisional sanction by the
synod.
The underlying principle Of the re-
form is that the church. while re-
naming established and closely linked
with the state, will be entirely au-
tonomous. This is In accord with the
vote Of a conference of clergy and
laity which met here early In the

the state. The church property,
where not managed for profit making
! purposes, will be free from taxation,
the clergy will be absolved from mil

state will observe the church holi-
| days
In relation to the family. the
church will retain It's present priority
and official position. Its registers OF
| births, marriages and deaths will be
legally valid. Its divorce DEGREES will
! hold good and it can consecrate a
| marriage in which at least one of the
parties Is Orthodox.
| Another reform ready for submis-
sion regulates ecclesiastical purisdic-
J ton. Another project Is for the re-
| organization Of parishes, while an
other regulates the ownership and ad
ministration OF church property, re-
forming the management, enforcing
better bookkeeping and providing thai

Another bill Is for the reform OF

monastery libraries. for the higher
| education Of monasteries and for mo-
! nastic missionary work. The educa-
ton of priests Is a radical reform of
