WIFES VOW OF OBEDIENCE,
WOMAN PREACHER'S VAIN PROTEST.
Alterations to the marriage "service, mainly dealing with the woman's · pro- : mise to obey her husband "were proposed by Miss Mande Royden, formerly a preacher at the Congregationalist City Temple, in tha House of Laity of the National Assembly of the Church of England at Church House, Westminister, on July 5th.
She moved a series of amendments to the proposed Revised Prayer Book "with the object of bringing the terms of the vows exchanged in the marriage servico into better harmony with the real position of women to day."
For the words, Wilt thou obey him and serve him?" she wished to substitute, Wilt thou love him and comfort him The woman's protaise to “obey" was to be altered to "cherish." The giving of the woman to be married was to be left out; the man was no longer to say, "with all my worldly goals I thee endow," and a rubric was to be inserted directing that the woman should gize the man a ringe
Miss Royden said that the vow to obey was of an extraordinarily obsolete character, and especially inappropriate to the relations of the serem. Man and wife shati be placed ou terms of equality. The Church should have taught” that self- control was accessary in marriage, and that the wife's feelings should be consulted and her will accepteil at least as often us" the husband's.
THE PROTECTING RING.
Mrs. Creighton said that true marriage was a partnership and couradeship, in which each tikes and rach gives. The queston of obedience hardly came inta it ut all. She thought the giving of a ring to the man in marriage might cometiutes be to him te same surt of protection that the ring was to a woman.
'Lord Hugh Cecils i the service ex- pressed the teaching of St. Paul in re- gard to the family. He taught the sub- ordination of the wife to the husband.
Mr. Atbelatan Riley protested against attempts to make the Bible" conform to the modern world, instead of the modern world to the Bible.
After farther discussion two of the amendments were withdrawn and the others were: lost

ROBBED.
A 121,18H PERK.
Prince and Princess Giustiniani-Bandini, who are the Earl and Countess of New- burgh in the Scottish Perrage, were attack.
ed and robbed in their maasion in the centre of Rome on July 8tb, the burglars first chloroforming thep and then ransack- ing the Prince's safe of valuables and cash worth 2,000,000 lire (£18,500 at present exclunge.)
The Princs-who is the bead of an ancient house well-known in Italian hix- tory for its soldiers and statesmen-and the Princess were asleep when both were awakened by the pressure on their nos tris of cotton-wool pad soaked with chloroform held by two men, barefooted and wearing black masks.
The Prince and Princes cried- oùt and struggled, when the masts fell from their assailants' faces, revealing them," "it is ul eged, as the Prince's Brazilian valet aud his chauffeuṛ.
The Prince and his wife, who are CI and -55 respectively, continued to struggle. The Prince, who is still vigor Lu, was overpowered only when his wife had succumbed to the anesthetic. Both the assailants 'were then free to deal with
him.

When he recovered his senses he found that uil the doors, of the room had been bcked and the electrië light, bel!, and telephone wires cat. He managed to wake some of the servants, who broke in the door.
A rapid survey of the house revealed that thai thieves had taken the keys of the Prince's safe, whence they had removed reveral of the family heirlooms and other jewellery.
Among their loot was a diamond and ruby diadem which the family received as Agit from Queen Hortense, Napoleon Bonaparte's step-daughter, and also the famous Giustiniai-Handiai necklace of pearls.
Ju the fight with the two men the Prince sustained a fractured left aam und. uther'injuries: The Princess is confined to b. d suffering from shook.
The Prince is the ninth' Earl of Newburgh, the title duting from 1600. Charlotte Maria, Countess of Newburgh, succeeded her father, the scind earl,"in 1694. She had a grand daughter, Cecilia, who married the 5th Erince Giustiniani. In 1814 the Countess's grandson, the fifth earl, died, and he was suceded by his. kusman, Prince Giustiniani, whose Jather had married the Countess Char- lotte-Maria's grand-daughter.
He did not claim the title, but lis daughter, who succodded him, was "nata- ralised by Act of Parliament in 1857, and her claim to the peerago was allowed in 1859. The Eari is also Viscount Kynnaird and Baron Leringstone.
