COMMUNION REFUSED
CLERGYMEN BAN LIP-STICKED WOMEN United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received May 12, 6.30 p.m.) LONNDON, May 11. The Rev. Harold Marley, vicar of Sedgeley, is the third clergyman within a month to announce the refusal of communion to a lip-sticked woman. He also intimates that a bare-legged woman will be asked to leave the church. He says that a girl thrusting unclothed flesh, which is normally covered, before the close attention of males is guilty of gross indecency. It is a cattish trick and the male mind is bound to be diverted from God thereby. The Rev. Joseph Munn, Catholic rector of Southgate, is also refusing communion to lip-sticked women.
