Just as every one had become ac-
customed to the apparent determine
ton of the Episcopal Church to strike
from its marriage service the word
"obey," Western bishop of this
church rises up in all his wrath and
launches a scathing denunciation of
the proposed change, coupled with an
eloquent attack on modern family life.
The bishop from the West is the
Right Rev. Irving Peake Johnson, de
scribed as one of the brilliant orators
and thinkers of his church. A para
graph from his argument declares
that III women do not love men well
enough to accept their leadership,
which is the significance of to obey,
they will not love them any more be-
cause their vanity is flattered by the

posed change is expected to have it's

of the cubic inch displacement of their

are SO well matched that success in a
