 Mrs. Mahakiam. whose first hus- band and father of the girl was killed in Turkey in 1916, says she and her child were herded with thousands of other Armenians in a camp by their Turkish captors. The child was i'll and one day when the death cart went through camp she was torn from the mother and tossed upon the cart.

CHANGES URGED IN
 BOOK OF PRAYERS
Church of En6land's Bishops
 Considering
NEW RITES OF MARRIAGE
Word "Obey" and "Endow" Would Be Eliminated-Propo Altera- tions Also Could Include Sacra- ments For the Sick.

London, Feb. ' (UP)-Minus the word 'obey" in the marriage service and with other vital changes sug- gested, the bishops of the Church of England today presented to the joint conversations of York and Can- terbury their proposals for altering the book of common prayer.
 Church Thoroughly Aroused.
 Discussion of revision of the book of common prayers has kept the laity and clergy aroused for month. Delegations have marched to the palace of the Archbishop of Canter- bury In protest against this or that proposed alteration.
 In most instances, the high church and factions within the Church of England have been in direct opposi- ton regarding the advisability of changes.
 Another Change Recommended.
 A second change in the marriage service, recommended by the bishops. would cause the groom to say:
 "llll dlI ny WI goods I with thee share"
 This would alter that portion of the service which reads:
 With this ring I thee wed with my body I thee worship, and with all my worldly goods l thee endaw."
 The controversy here is over the word "endow."
 Sacrament For the Sick.
 Despite objections by the low church, or Protestant party. in the Church of England, the bishops proposed that reservation of the sacrament for the sick should be authorized.
 The bishops proposed that vest ments should be used in communion service.
 Prayers For the Dea.l
 For the first time in history, if the proposed revisions were adopted, prayers for the dead would be au- thorized by the Church of England. The proposal by the bishops was un- derstood to have been in conse- quence "of the unwonted thoughts" of the dead created by the killing of hundreds of thousands of British men in the World War.
 The prayer for 'the faithful de- parted" would be included in the burial service.
 The bishops also recommended that extempore prayers by priests be permitted at the conclusion of services such as morning and eve- ming prayer.
 The bishops would have the church alter that part of the liturgy containing Gods condemnation of sinners. The serv- ice. usually read on Ash Wednesday, would be softened and the archaic "curses" would be removed.
 May Be Altered
 The submission of the proposed changes today was only the second of several processes through which the proposal would have to pass be- fore becoming effective. They might be rejected or altered at any stage. After the general assembly of the clergy and laity passes on the pro- posals, they would go back to the bishops whence they would be sub mitted to parliament, which would have the last say regarding their fate.
 Proposed Marriage Vows
 The new marriage vows would be as follows:
 "I take thee to my welded hus- band Cor wife) to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer, for poorer, in sick ness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part, &C., cording to Gods holy law; and there- to I give thee my troth.'
