Communion for Those

Who Remarry

BISHOPS REFUSE SENTENCE OF "SPIRITUAL DEATH”.

"WE 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

сляем.

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 admission to Holy Communion of persons who, having remarried after divorce and having thereby trans- Kressed 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 10 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 sald that the con- demned murderer is admitted to Communion before execution, and it is asked: If the murderer, why not the adulterer," he said.

"But if the murderer is in a post- tion to continue the slaughter of his neighbours and avalls himself of the opportunity, then we should surely not admit him to Communion."

The Bishop of Chichester (Dr. 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 as to make it impossible to contain within the Church all but 'the most purified and the most deeply undevablying those

who break the marriage bond."

The Bishop of Birmingham (Dr. Barnes) said: "I cannot see that it is right to fence the altar. We ought to encourage all who desire the help of Christ to live better lives and to come to His Table.

"Christ came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

"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 addres- ed "Reverend."

"Drzennesses want to be ae- corded real status," said the Bishop of Carlisle (Dr. WII- llam), presenting a report and resolutions renated mittee of bishon by a com-

There was no desire, he enlð, to belittle the order of deacenes- ses, but rather to magnify it. Its motive was to set it free from some restriction that were imposed on the deacons,

WHY HIS HEADACHES CEASED

After Troubling Him Since A Boy

He could not understand why the headaches he had been subject to suddenly censed. His wife told him, and he sat down and wrote the following letter:-

"I am 62 years of age, and ever since I was a boy of ten years, I was subject to very bad headaches, 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 unauspected retention in the system of

of stagnating waste material which poisons the blood. Remove these poisons-prevent them forming: again and you'll never have to worry any more. And that is just how Kruschen Salis brings swift and lasting relief from headaches. Krus- chen Sails aids Nature to cleanse your body completely of all clogging waste matter, and thus gets right to the root of your trouble."
