Small Teddy was anything but
popular. In fact, where harmony
had been, it frequently took
flight upon Teddy's arrival. And
it all came about through Teddy's
consistent demand OF Me first"

mother serving cookies, or the

sistent Me first"
1t was annoying. and you felt
that you'd like to shake him If he
said 1t again. until you stopped
to try to discover WHY he so
persistently wanted to be at the
head of every activity.
Teddy was the youngest in a
family of three other children.
If sister lin high school rushed
in and demanded luncheon i'm
mediately because Of a noon en-
gagement, all other needs were
disregarded until she was taken
care Of. II one of the older
brothers was going to a. fraternity
dance, Teddy's bed hour was for

big brother had gotten mothers
help In wrestling with his dress
tie and departed party-ward in
his Tux. Always and forever
Teddy was LAST. And so it
developed that his one desire In
life was to be FIRST.
Big sister and brothers didn't
spill things at the table. They
didn't get sent upstairs to re-

wash dirty hands before they
could eat. Big brother could have
tools and nails and work bench,
but Teddy was "too little" He
was not to be trusted yet. Every
thing in his life that he saw and
desired was to come LATER.
And Teddy lived in the NOW!
So 1t got pretty tiresome al
ways being at the tail end Of the
parade, and as a consequence,
when he got out where he was
with other children he tried very
hard to always be FIRST.

PRAYER BOOK ROV
 STILL UNSETTLED
England Again Stirred by Bitter
 Religious Controversy

London, Aug. IS - The British are getting set for another bitter battle about the Established Church Of England
 Nothing that has happened re tween the fundamcntalists and tn. modernists in American churches has created half the excitement that i@ being caused in Britain over the bishops recent decision to override Parliamcnts objection and sanct on q new prayer ook.
 The matter is comparatively simple. There is unrest within the Church of England, which IS the es., tablishcd state religion and whose bishops sit as members of the Houst, of Lords.
 There is within the church an eXtrer Protestant wing. There is also within the church set of 'aymcn and priests who desire se V ices that go very far towards the holy rites of the Roman CatnoIi, church.
 Prepared New Prayer Book
 In the ondeaVor to bring about peace, the bishops prepared q new prayer book 10 replace permissively the existing prayer book which was lraWn up in 1862.
 In other words. if this proposa! had been adopted the ultra -Protcs t1ntS could stIll have stuck to .hs cid prayer book, while the other ex. rene wing could have permissivelv DSod the new prayer book.
 l}ut as the church is a state church assent had to be received from Parliament. Now Parliament, and especially the House of Com- mons, had seen some fierce debates over matters of interior and foreign policy, but nothing in recent years nas oQualled the intensity and fervor md the pasrion with which this new orayer book proposal was debated.
 It showed that British are stin a deeply religious people and trc- mondcualy concerned about the forms of worship. All party lines ! were H'-1'tshcd into smithercens and l tW!r" House of Commons reject i ed tn" now prayer book
 Fislloos D"fy Parliament
 That would have seemed to set
New Britain herald., 1929-08-17

tie the matter, but a few days ago the bishops met in convocation and decided that since their lis a spiri- tual necessity" to quote the Arch bishop of York, ito go beyond the legal limits" they would. against the will of the state expressed in Parliament. sanction the use of the new prayer book in those parishes that desired it.
 This has already started new and embittered controversy. There are bishops who claim that under canon law and regulations dating back to Henry VII. the church has full power to take the action it did. There are other bishops who claim the matter of canon law does not enter at all, but that the final de cision rests with Parliament. which has twice spoken in the negative.
 The powerful Sunday Times says of this:
 Can the Church of England de liborately ignore and override the twice declared will of Parliament and remain an established stat, church? In our opinion thore can be only one outcome of persistcnc" in the bishops precent policy. and that is isestablishment."
 Parliament Aroused
 And Holford Knight. labor NJ. P for South Nottingham and a former member of the church's London dio- c2san conference, has put down this question for the prime minister;
 Whether, in the interest of pub lie order and good government. in- fiuence will be exerted on their lord ships (the bishops) to set an exam pie to the nation of obedience to the law and respect for the -sanctity of contract?"
 All these things are strengthening the hands of those who desire to disestablish the Church of England. Even a serious move in this direc- ton in Parliament would set the en- tire nation rocking.
 If the move were successful ii would be ! serious blow to the church. Disestablishment would put it more or less on par with all the other Christian churches. It would no longer be obligatory for the royal house to be members Of the church. 1 The kings title of "Defender of the Faith' at present means defender 1 of the faith preached by the Estab- i Iished Church.
 Would Lose Privileges
 At present, at great functions, the ] Archbishop of Canterbury as high | est officer in the church. has pre- | 7edence second only to that of the | royal family. Disestab,ishment i would lose that privilege. It would probably also lose the power of the | bishops to sit in the House of Lords. i
 On the other hand. it would make | he church entirely free to conduct i ts own affairs. Its convocations 1 could enact any sort of religious I ceremony they saw fit. without hay ns to get approval of Parliament
 Parliament would have no more 'ay in it's affairs than it has at pre- 'ent in those of the Methodsts or he Baptists or the Presbvterians.
 Both the Archbishop of Canter- 'ury, Dr. Cosmo Gordon Lang. and he Archbishop of York, the Rev. William Temple, second ranking of icial of the church, are in favor of he permissiNe use of the proposed lew prayer book, even though Par lament twice rejected it.
