NEW YORK. Aug. 1S.-Radical
changes in the sanctioned practices of
the Episcopal church are provided for
In a report made public here of the
church's commission on the revision and
enrichment Of the Book of Common
convention Of the church in October.
The report makes provision for faith
healing, amounting with holy oils, re,

dead, reservation of the sacrament and
intinction-the use of a dipped wafer
instead Of the common communion cup.
There are "a score of radical proposals,
and bitter controversy is looked for
over them on the convention floor.
The commission, constituted in 1918,
Is "a joint body, acting with the au-
thority of both the house of bishops and
the house of deputies Of the Episcopal
church.
Recommendations for changes in
Episcopal church practices includes:
Elimination from the marriage cere-
mony of the word "obev" for the bride
and with all my worldly goods l thee
endow" for the bridegroom.
A prayer for the dead.
Change Whitsunday to the Day OF
