heaven the modern churchman's position.
A few days previous, the House, by an overwhelming majority. passed a resolution that divorced persons who have remarried, in- nocent and guilty parties aure may be admitted to the sacrament. The Bishop of St. Albans (Dr. Furse) moved that no resolution under which divorced persons who have remarried during the lifetime of their former spouses may be admitted to Holy Communion shall be acted upon until the canon law and the relevant parts of the Plooks of Common Prayer have been amended by canon law made un- der licence from the Crown.

Incidentally, they had given a blank cheque to the State that they would recognise any cause for divorce which a majority in Par- Ulament might think they would muke legal. In the judgment of the majority which passed the re- solution the decision of one bis- hop ought to be accepted as final in the diocese, irrespective of what the conscientious convictions of other bishops or parish priests might be.

That was a plain contra- diction of the Prayer-book. They were in the position of trying to reconcile irreconcilables. It WILB gald four times in the marriage service that marriage was indis-
