LIPSTICK BAN

CONTRARY TO ANGLICAN LAW. (Aus. and N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received May 13. 7.10 p .in.) LONDON, May 13. “A clergyman has no legal right to refuse Communion to lipsticked women,” so a diocesan law officer informed the “Daily Mail.” ‘‘Anglicans are permitted to withhold the Sacrament only if the communicant does not kneel without good cause, or refuses to attend public prayer, or is i a ‘notorious depraver’ of teh Prayer Book, or an evil liver. A refusal of Communion under any other circumstances offends the ecclesiastical law, and is liable to heavy punishment.”
