 The speaker dwclt at length on the methods of the conference, showing how the great asscmblage of bishops, clergy and laymen managed all the affairs of the Episcopal church. lie declared that the doctrine of the church would never be changed, and that the laymen were the most diffi- cult to move on this matter. vote of one-third of their number could defeat the wishes of the Bishops and clergymen combined,
 Bishop Acheson touched on a pos sibe union of churches and the pos sibility that the Episcopal church might be the medium through which this would be brought about If 1t came. He spoke feelingly of the con- fidence of the Greek church in the church of his denomination.

CHURCH RECOGNIZES
 W0MAN'S POSITION
Bishop Acheson Tells of Recent
 EpisCopalian Convention

Bishop Acheson addressed about 200 members and guests of the St. Marks Mems club and Women's Aux Hilary In the parish rooms beneath the new church following dinner given for the benefit of those organizations He explained the reason for some of the recent changes in the prayer book of the Episcopal church as be- ing the altered position of women and the changed times. The word obey in the marriage service, he said was inserted at a time when "obey meant something" Today the interpretation then given to it would be improper. With all thy worldly goods l thee endow," also in the mar riage service, said Bishop Acheson, was necessary in the old days as there was no marriage contract other than that provided by the church. The wife, by her marriage, gained no right in the husbands property with out these words. Today he explained, the wife may go into the courts and obtain her dover and other rights given to her and protected for her by the law.
 Bishop Introduced.
 The affair was marked by infor- mality. Singing, led by Ralph Brit ton, was almost continuous until President Stanley Hunt of the Mems club called attention of those present to the approaching boys conference to be held in this city at which time accommodations for them are sought. He urged those willing to give their names to him in order that the young delegates might be entertained. Rector emeritus, Harry Bodley said grace. Following the dinner, pre- pared by Mrs. Kronholm, Rev. Sam uel Sutcliffe of St. Marks, introduced Bishop Acheson.
 The speaker began by describing his visit, just before going to the con ference, to the Panama Canal region, explaining how the filling and empty ing of the locks is managed through the aid of miniature canal, ar ranged on a long tabe-like affair. which shows the moment a ship en- ters a lock and when it is ready to pass to the next one. He described the work of the Rockefeller founda- tion in that region in it's fight against the hookworm, that disease which shrivels up the limbs and distorts the body.
