tive statement to say that no COM
munion has within its borders a more
| varied intellectual point of view.
| There are, IL Is true, two so called
parties in the church, the High
Church party. preferring now to be
called the Catholic party, and the
Broad Church party, now widely
known as the Modernist party. But
the lines arc not by any means clearly
drawn. Between the two extremes in
each party ia wide variety of opin-
ion. And the difference in point of
view between an extreme Catholic
churchman and an extreme Modern
ist churchman is greater. let us say,
than between a Modernist churchman
and representative of the Presby-
terian Church.
One may readily understand. there
fore. the difficulty that this diversity
of opinion represents in legislative
bodies that are essentially cross Sec
tions OF the church. The General Con-
vention in Portland will face no such
clear cut issue between two parties as
the Baptists faced at Chicago recently
between the Fundamentalists and the
liberals. In passing one might say
that such an Issue as Fundamental
ism is alien to the Episcopal Church,
since the results of historical criticism
OF the Bible are generally accepted in
that communion.
Another element that adds TO the
difficulty OF prayer book revision when
1t is faced by a group OF such varied
opinion is the tradition of prayer book
revision itself. Since the American
prayer book was adopted by general
convention soon after the close Of
the Revolution there has been but Cne
revision. That was in 1892. under the
leadership OF the Rev. William r.
Huntington, ID. d.. rector OF Grace
Church, New York. No such sweeping
changes were adopted then as are now
proposed. In the Book of Common
Prayer of the Church OF England.
from which the American book Is
adapted. there have been but four re-
visions since the first book was put
forth in 1549. or those revisions the

Healing a Function
OF the Christian Church

~ CdfiHb a Il GHCtiOu
of the Christian Church
Healing of one sort or another has
been carried on in the Christian church
all through it's history. The practice
received emphasis from a new angle
in the Episcopal Church some years
ago In what came TO be known as the
Emmanuel movement, inaugurated by
the Rev. Elwood Worcester, rector of
Emmanuel Church. Boston. who be-
gan the treatment of functional ner-
vous disorders in cooperation with
several prominent physicians. There
is in the Episcopal Church also a
healing organization known as the
Society of the Nazarine. OF which the
Rev. Henry Il. Wilson is director.
These various movements have re-
suited in the formation of prayer cir
cles for healing in many parishes
throughout the country Altogether IL
is evident that the Episcopal church is
becoming increasingly interested In
the subject of spiritual healing. But
in regard 10 such work as that done
by Mr.. Hickson there is a good deal
Of unrest Many people believe that
certain cures were wrought by Mr..
Hickson. but many are not at all GER
tain that great harm was not done In
other cases through the stimulation
of hope which was unrewarded.
There is a group of people who would
like TO see introduced into the church
sane use of psychotherapy. organ
lied on a basis or cooperation between
the clergy and physicians represent
ing the best in present day medical
science. Whether something of the
sort my result from the presentation
OF the subject at the coming convcn-
ton remains 10 be seen.
In such an article as this there Is
neither space nor occasion even to
suggest the multiplicity of legislative
matters that will come before the con-
vention. The two houses invariably
find that the three weeks in which
they have to work leave them
swamped with unfinished legislation
on their hands. This year the bishops
OF the church will assemble a week
before the opening date OF the con-
vention i'm the hope OF expediting
action on prayer book revision when
the convention meets. On top OF work
on the prayer book and the innumera-
bic routine matters arising from re-
ports by various departments. such
as the department OF missions. the de-
partment OF religious education, the
department Of social service. &C. II
is probable that the convention viii
be asked 10 pass on such important
matters as complete affiliation of the
IpiacopaI Church with tho Federal
Council Of the Churches of Christ. and
possibly the changing of the canons
TO admit clergymen Of other churches
to the pulpits Of the Episcopal Church

now be admitted at special SER

Some Proposed Changes
Not Heretofore Discussed

What | have said win indicate. per-
haps. that the proposed changes that
will hamper action by the coming con-
vention are not those that have been
most widely discussed In the public
press. The proposed shortening" Of
the Ten Commandments as they ap-
pear In the communion office. for ex-
ample. has been widely argued pro
and con. The Episcopal Church has
been charged with changing the
Word of Cod by such proposal.
But this suggested change Is looked
upon by intelligent members Of the
Episcopal Church as a minor issue
and would. think. be generally ac-
ceptable. In fact. Episcopalians have
been amazed that so many people
outside the Episcopal Church have
been scandalized at the suggestion.
I can best give the point Of view of
the Episcopal Church by quoting In
part an official statement on the sub
jcct. In which there 10 evidently 80

and Wycliffe. 1t was not unnatural,
however, that In the First Book of
Edward there were retained forms of
prayer and of expression which were
brought over from the unreformed
liturgies but were soon found not to
be consonant with the principle of the
English Reformation. that worship and
doctrine should be justified by Holy
Scripture.
"The three years which elapsed be-
fore the Second Book was put forth
in 1852 were years when Cranmer and
his fellow-workers were living in the
light of the open Word of God. They
may have been influenced by the re-
formers on the Continent. who were
their allies in great cause, of which
they were not ashamed, but that which
guided them above all was the teach
ing of the Holy Spirit. This book rep
resents, therefore, the full tide of the
Reformation of the English Church.
THE Elizabethan revision, IL it can
be called such. made no material
change in the Book of 1862.

ton. made no change involving in any
way the doctrine of the church"
In appointing the commission on
revision the general convention def
nitely stated that the commission
should propose nothing that would
affect the doctrine of the church. one
of the contentious, made by Bishop
Tucker and many others in pre-
convention discussions OF proposed
changes, is that doctrine changes are
proposed in the report OF the COM
mission, especially in the Order for
the Holy Communion. Ii is In re-
gard to this service that the mind
of the church" Is most sensitive. and
Il will be on the question of changes
in this service that the members Of
the convention will doubtless find
themselves most at issue. Clergymen
of the Catholic party have for many
years incorporated in the communion
service many of the usages that are
now proposed. 1t is contended by
members of the Broad church party
that such practices are illegal. and
that they give a doctrinal emphasis
contrary to the accepted doctrine OF
the Episcopal Church. Members OF the
Catholic party, on the other hand
have asserted that members of the
Broad church party have committed
similarly illegal acts by changes in
practice in the service of morning
prayer and otHr offices Of the prayer
book.
Strictly speaking. such variety OF
usage by clerygmen Of both parties
has been illegal. But these very prac-
tees have forced upon the mind Of the
church the conviction that the pres
ent age demands more elasticity in
the use OF the prayer book together
with enrichment. II was with the pur-
pose of giving such elasticity that the
commission on revision was appointed
by general convention.
