Clemenceau has never outlined his

precision. He once told me, how

must be a good.natured fellow. be-
cause he has such priceless sense
of humor."

CHURCH
facing A RIFT
Keen Controversy Arises Over
Prayer Book

London, Jan. 10 Pl-A keen con-
troversy has been aroused within
the Church of England over the pro-
posed revision of the prayer book,
which some members believe will
open the way to the introduction of
ceremonies similar to those OF the
Roman Catholic church.
1t was to- protest against such a
possibility that score of clergymen
and about 100 laymen and laywomen
marched with banners yesterday to
the Lambeth palace. where the
bishops are meeting to reach their
final conclusion on prayer book re-
vision.
Numerous conferences have been
held to hear and discuss various sug-
gestions, and the bishops now are
tackling the puzzling problem of how
to please all the parties in the
church. One Of the banners car
ried by the marchers yesterday said
Alteration may wipe out the work
of the reformation"
High churchmen desire that the
bread and wine remaining after COM
munion be retained in the church
for purposes similar to that in the
Roman Catholic alteration of the
host, while other members object to
this.
The responsibility resting on the
prelates is undoubtedly a grave one,
New Britain herald., 1927-01-13

as there is fear that whatever their
decision is, it may lead to a mo-
mentous crisis surprising any that
has convulsed the church since the
18th century.
The prediction Is made that If
either Anglo-Cltholic or evangelical
opinion is dissatisfied. definite
cleavage in the church will result
Absolute secrecy has been pre-
served respecting the proposed re-
vision, and the proofs have been
seen only by the bishops and BY a
few printers who are under oath not
to divulge the contents.
Should the bishops agree upon the
proposals before their session ends
on Jan. %. the revised version must
be submitted to a church assembly,
fixed for July. Even then, assum-
ing the assembly endorses it, the al
tered form cannot be adopted with
out sanction of both houses OF par
lament and the sovereign. This
final stage is : likely to be reach
ed until autumn.
