ALTAR CAN'T BE "FENCED"
Communion for Those
Who Remarry
BISHOPS REFUSE SENTENCE
#1
OF 'SPIRITUAL DEATH'
66WE cannot fence the altar," declared the Bishop of *Birmingham (Dr. Barnes) at a meeting of the Up- per House of the Convocation of Canterbury, opposing a | resolution to bar from Communion people who remarried
after divorce.
In the Lower House a resolution was passed calling for stronger safeguards against collusion and perjury in divorce
cases.
The resolution was defeated by an overwhelming majority.
Criticism was made of Mr. A. P. Herbert's Marriage Bill now before Parliament,
The resolution of the Bishop of Ely (Dr. Heywood) in the Upper House stated;
This House is not able to approve the numission to Hely Cominunion of persons who, having remarried after ilvorce and having thereby trans- gressed the law of Christ and the Church, continue to live in disregard of the moral obligations which must. bind those who are to be admitted to Holy Communion."
"ALWAYS A SIN"
The Bishop maintained that re- marriage after divorce always in- volved a sin against the Seventh Commandment.
"I
believe it is said that the con- demned murderer
admitted to
Communion before execution, and it da usked: If the murderer, why not the adulterer," he said.
"Bul the murderer is in a posl- tion to continise the slaughter of his neighbours and avails himself of the
should opportunity, then' we
surely not admit him to Communion."
The
of Chichester (Dr. Bishop Bell), opposing the resolution, said: There is a very great danger of schism if the purity of the Church were to be pushed to such a final conclusion na to make it impossible to contain within the Church all but the most purified and the most deeply and irretrievably devoted to this Article of excommunicating those who break the marriage bond."
The Bishop of Birmingham (Dr." Barnes) sald: "I cannot see that it is right to fence the altar. We ought age all who desire the help to encourage of Christ to live better lives and to come to His Table.
"Christ came nat to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance," The Bishop of London (Dr. Ingram) said that he believed it was wrong In Itself to excommunleate. He des- cribed it as "sending people to spiritual death."
SPIRITUAL DEATH
It
The Archbishop of Canterbury (Dr. Lang) said he could not bring him- self to accept the resolution, and that he felt that they wo
would be
justified In conscience in not accepting
Only the Bishops of Ely and St. Albans voted for the resolution.
The Upper House also considered a of the Joint Commitice on the report Church and
and Marriage, with recom mendations presented by the Bishop of Winchester,
These recommendations Included that a "guilty" as well the oceni" party in a divorce case, after marriage, could, in certain circumstances, by permission of the Bishop, be baptised or take Holy Communion.

COLLUSION
"Reverend" Deaconesses
THE Upper House of the Con-
vocation of York recently approved a resolution that a deaconess should wear a special dress or emblem and be address- ed as "Reverend."
"Deaconesses want to be no- corded
real status,** said the Bishop of Carlisle (Dr. Wil- Hama), presenting a report and resolutions prepared by a com mittee of bishops.
One resolution said deaconesses ought to rank among the clergy and not among laity, and that for all religious and ecclesiastical purposes a deaconess ought to be regarded and described as a per- son who was in Holy Orders.
The Archbishop of York (Dr. Temple) said there had been dis- appointment among the deaco nesses that their order had not been placed on a level with the order of deacons.
There was no desire, he said, to belittle the order of deacones- ses, but rather to magnify it.. Its motive was to set di free from some restriction that were Imposed on the deacons,
steps should be taken to strengthen the safeguards against the methods of collusion and perjury which are
WHY HIS HEADACHES
CEASED
After Troubling Him Since A Boy
He could not understand why the headaches he had been subject to suddenly ceased. His wife told him, and he sat down and wrote the following letler:
"I am 62 years of age, and over since I was a boy of ten years, I was subject to very bad headacher. But two years ago the headaches stopped-for what reason I did not know. I was surprised when one day my wife told me I had been using Kruschen Salts in my tea for over two years. I am still using them, as I know of nothing finer for the system."J, T.
Headaches can nearly always be traced to a disordered stomach, and. to the unsuspected retention in the [system of stagnating waste materiai which polsons the blood. Remove these polsons prevent them, forming. agoln-and you'll never have to worry any more. And that is just how Kruschen Salts brings swift and lasting relief from headaches..

The resolution was moved by the Dean of Winchester (Dr. Edward Selwyn).
