situation is bad enough"
Also in opposition was Arch
bishop John J. Glennon of the Ro-
man Catholic church.
1--WE view the marriage cere-
mony as a sacrament rather than
as civil contract" he said. I'VE
take the view that ceremonies
without the administration of sac
raments are frequently of an ir-
responsible nature. and therefore
oppose any measure that might
lead to an increase"
Said Rabbi Julius Gordon Of the
Share Emeth congregation:
1.-THE Jewish church is against
any form of marriage mill or any
form of ceremony which might de-
tract from the dignity of the con-
tract. 1t is not possible to deter
mine how an extension to include
notaries would work out. but If II
increased the number of hasty
marriages or otherwise violated
our established principles, would
be against its enactment"

The survey analyses pronounce

While demonstrating a remark
able ecumenical consensus" which
should enable the churches to

the survey also highlights some
significant differences Of opinion.
Core of the disagreement lies
in the application of the power
principle" and the degree to which
defeated nations should be pun
ished.
The survey emphasizes the need
to confront these differences now
in order to be ready In time"
Text of the document is expected
to be made available in the United

Reverse Lower Court
In Witness Tract
Distribution Case
b, Religious News service

NEW YORk-For the third
time in six months. a high state
court has ruled in favor OF tract
selling members OF Jehova's Wit
nesses sect-despite L. S SUI
preme court decision Of last June.
which upheld the right Of cities 10
license the sale of religious litera-
ture.
Latest instance occurred in Al
bany \. Y, when the state Court
OF Appeals reversed the lower
court conviction of a sect mem
her who had failed to obtain
door-to-door selling license as re-
quired by local ordinance
Every case Of denial Of rights
10 an individual or to a small
minority" said the court, may
seem to be relatively unimportant,
but we know now, more surely
than ever before, that callousness
of rights Of individuals and mi
norities leads TO barbarism and
destruction of the essential values
of civilized life"
The case involved an ordained"
minister of the sect who had been
fined in the city of Shreveport for
soliciting orders for the sale of
goods" He appealed on the
ground that he asked for contri-
buttons rather than demanded
payment for religious tracts.
Ruling that the sect member
could not "by any stretch of judi
cial Interpretation, be placed in
the category of a peddler, hawker
or solicitor" the court added:
ITO hold otherwise. we would
be compelled TO attribute to the
city council of Shreveport the in
tention of declaring that the visi-
tation into the homes without
previous invitations) by priests
and ministers of all religious de-
nominations, accompanied by the
sale of Biblical literature, consti-
tuted q nuisance and a misde-
meanor. This we will not do"
