Society Protests Dogma
OF Mays Assumption

LONDON. Sept. 20 (R.-The
Protestant Truth Society declared
today the coming Catholic dogma
that the Virgin Mary went to
heaven bodily will be a grave
departure" from the Bible.
The dogma will encourage devo-
tions to Mary and "detract from
the glory and worship of Jesus
Christ the Lord" the society said
in a statement.
The society is an interdenom-
national body made up Of about
10000 clergymen and laymen. Its
goal Is to prevent "Romish" prac-
tees in English non-Roman
churches.
Vatican sources disclosed last
