AMERICAN OPINION
NOTHING SENSATIONAL
(Received 10th February, 11 a.m!)
NEW YORK, 9th February. Episcopal clergymen, commenting on the proposed changes in the Prayer Book recommended by the Bishops of the Church of England, declare that the more important changes follow the changes adopted by the Protestant Episcopal Church of the UnifecL States. They instance the elimination of the word "obey" from the marriage service, while the phrase, "with all my worldly goods I thee endow," has been stricken from the Episcopal service, Vthereas the English Bishops modified "endow" to "share."
The Bishop of Newark said that the proposed chancres were interesting, but not sensational or drastic. The recommendations are intelligent and show appreciation of the needs of the new times.
The Rev. Dr. Gates, who sat on the Episcopal Commission, said that the changes suggested were very conservative.'
** Other clergy generally favour the proposals.
