sion on revision of the Book of Com
mon Prayer, in report made public
! Wednesday night.
However, the proposal to change the
ceremony also provides for striking
out the brdegroom's pledge with all
my worldly goods thee endow."
/ The commissions report will be sub
mitted to the triennial general con
yention Of the church at Portland,
Ore, next September. Members of the
commission hope to see the changes
finally ratified at the 1925 convention.
Six pages of the report are devoted
to the proposed changes in the mar
riage ceremony, the first hint of the
breadth of the revision appearing in
the following:
Make the promise of the man and
of the woman identical in form:
wilt thou love him, comfort him,
honor, and keep him in sickness and
in health; and forsaking all others,
keep thee only unto him, 50 long as ye
both shall live?"
AT present the woman promises to
"obey and serve
The next change eliminating the
compulsory giving Of a woman in mar
riage, would make it possible for the
clergyman to omit:
who g.veth this woman to be mar
ried to this man?' and would provide
for the singing of hymn or anthem.
Another proposed change would
strike obey from the sentences Of
espousal
The report continues:
Amend the sentence in regard to
the ring by emitting the words and
with all my worldly goods ! thee en-.
/ dow"
This change would make the ring
| pledge of the bridegroom read
with this ring | thee wed; in the
name of the Father, and of the Son,
and OF the Holy Ghost Amen
There are Is changes in all in the
proposed amendment to the ceremony
including number of minor altera-
tions and proyi sions for alternative
closing prayers.
Other proposed changes include en-
argement of the cathechism and its
transformation into catechetical OF
fee of instruction; a form Of service
for the burial Of oh Id prayers OF
permissive use in commemorative OF
the saints and for the departed; and
a special form for missionary service
The reyisions, said a statement, is
sued by the commission, is designed
to adapt the prayer book to present
conditions. and make II more helpful
N meeting the religious needs of thu
people IN the life and worship Of to
day"

Record In England
After zoo years, Magma Charta re-
main1 the most popular British manu-
script. Last year $4,000 persons went
to the British Museum to see it..
Americans invariably ask to view the
famous charter which insures English
men their rights. according to the
museum custodians. but other foreign
ers take more interest in the Papal
Bull which is displayed next to It,
Heavy green blinds are kept over
the precious parchment to exclude tho
full light rays and thus prevent de.
terioratiou, but are lifted to show
the charter to admirng pilgrims.
Most persons are disappointed at
not seeing King Johns signature, ac'
cording to an official at the museum,
but they seem satisfied when they
read the script that It was given by
our hand in the meadow which Is
called Ronimede between Windlesor

 The continued upward trend in the industrial fields during the past month adds confidence and support to the general belief that recovery from previous depression has developed. Recent gains in employment are sus- tained, with every indication of inn provement. Despite various draw backs. basic lines continue to revive rapidly.
