"0BEY0 IN MARRIAGE.
OMISSION OF TINS WORD FGoJ
SERVICE GRAVELY Dl9cu39-
ED BY CLERGYMEN.
The Matter Was Before a corvcca-
ton Of High Officials Ct tho
Church Of England.
PRESENT FORii.

PREoEN1 fOiett-
wilt thou obey him. serve HIN, lovo,
honor and keep him?
In sickness and in hcalta, % love,
cf.arigh and obey.
PROPOSED FORM.
Wit thou love him, comfort him,
and honor and keep him.?
In sickness and in health to love
ard to cherish.
The omission of the word "obey"
from the marriage service and to al
ter the wording as in these forms
was the subject for a grave discus
sion among high officials OF the
Church Of England at the recent
convocation of Canterbury. So wide
spread has become sentiment for the
recognition of real equality ana part
nership between husband and wife
that the bishop of Lincoln has III
nouneed that ne would move such an
amendment.
Although the amendment was never
introduced to be acted upon, Il
served to stir up a discussion wiica
showed the difference of opinion Is
expressed to be not SO much on the
merits of the amendment as on is
classification as a rubrical question.
When the subject wa reached the
bishop of Lincoln moved to withdraw
the amendment, saying that ne had
not changed his opinion, but that he
did not believe it could carry on that
occasion.
The archbishop Of Canterbury said
It was more desirable that such q
essstion should be raised on another,
occasion than on the revision CT the
rubrics.
1--WE are face to face, beyond cues
ton and doubt" he added, with
discussions upon the whole subject OF
which this is a part. both in the
church and in the state, at no dis
tant date, and l venture to believe
that other opportunities more suit
able than the present will arise for
handling questions of this f~ar-reach-
ing and quite other than l~iturgical
character.
The whole expression of opinion
by different bishops was that the
question must soon be settled, and
those who committed themselves IA
vored a recognition OF equality. The
bishop of Winchester said that it
was with regret that he saw the
word "obey" continue to stand in
the form of service. The bishop Of
Hereford declared that some change
should be made which would make
the undertakings and responsibilities
of both persons to a greater extent
the same.

A Tense Moment

young man is making love TO you. viii

She rose appFehensively. Approach

Good popcorn begins to pop when
rightly handled in a minute and a
half. Do not be impatient and try
to make it begin n by holding
the pepper too near the heat. If
the corn has been properly grown
and kept dry it will pop nicely and
quickly once it is started. If you
try to hurry It, you will burn some
of the corn and none Of it will pop
so well. You must not put too much
corn in the pepper, as the kernels
need plenty of room to dance about
and get their full growth as they
break into bloom. For it seeems as
If the kernels are like little hard buds

"HE young folks Of today
don't seem to realize how
rapidly civilization has adj
vanced, but their parents can re-
member when thcy had to go
down town every Saturday night
to- take their bath.
There was only ono bath tub
In the city and you had 70 buy
tickets to use It.
Everybody would. have to stand
in line like wo do to get into
moving picture theaters now.
Forty or fifty years ago, Sat.
urday was . bigger day than sun
day.
The editor Of the local paper
would be on the Job every Sat
urday to check up on the people
who were standing in line.
III you wanted to keep your
name out Of the paper you almost
had to take bath whether you
needed enc or not.
In those days q bath was an
event. People used to go In and
take one and then come out and
brag about it.
Even in those times lot Of
people would try to out do each
other. Some Of them would take
. bath twice . week just to show
off.
One guy took three baths In
seven days and got a big story
about 1t on the front page Of the
paper.
If he. had taken one. more the
editor would probably have rot
out an extra.
Most Of the bath tubs were In
barber shops. A man would so
down town and dc his shopping
and the barber would call him
when the water was hot.
Some barber shops had Snch
beautiful tubs that the customers
could hardly wait from one week
end to the other.
OF course you, didn't have to
wait until Saturday night to take
a bath, but If you took one in the
middle of the week people would
think you were putting on airs.
A lot of people used to fool their
neighbors. They'd stand In line
and then instead Of getting In the
tub they'd sneak out the back
door.
A few years later some million.
are bought bath tub of his own
and used to invite his friends
over to his house to take their
bath.
He only charged them for the
soap and towels and it wasn't
long before he had the tub paid
for.
In fact so many neighbors were
using his bathroom that he and
his family had to go downtown to
do their bathing.
But civilization is q wonderful
thing. Now everybody has their
own bath tub and yOu can battle
Friday night and have all day
Saturday to yourself.
