Divergent Views Confront Epis
copalians on Marital
Restrictions
BIG DEBATE IS IMPENDING
v,
Seeotal Dispatch to Eventno rutllc Ledger
Detroit, Midi., Oct. 14. Marriage
nd divorce problems will cniiRo one of
tho biggest debates of the fortieth tri
ennial general convention of the Prot
estant Episcopal Church.
Already there are to many diert.e
opinions on the attitude the Church
must take on these questions (lint two
amendments to the canon on marriage
are before the convention, and deputies
and bishops are already issuing pnm
pllets and voicing their views in the re
cess periods of the convention sessions.
Fonnsjlvanlnns nt tending the conven
tion are showing varying attitudes. The
bishop of Harrisburg, .lames 11. Dar
lington, has issued a pamphlet in which
lie gives about 3000 words of objection
to the proposed new divorce regulation
before the convention, which would pro- I
lilbit Episcopal clergy from remarrying j
any person who had been divorced. I
Wrong to (lie Innocent
In this pamphlet he pleads against
the change because of injustice to the
Inqocent party in n divorce rnse, main
tains that such strict interpretation is
not scriptural and that the Church
Would do more to pnrifv the marriage
relation by preaching on the seventh
commandment than by harshness.
An exactly opposite view is held by
ihe Rev. Dr. Floyd W. Tomkins. of
Holy Trinity. Philadelphia, who is
righting for the strictest possible re
striction the remarriitge of any divorced
person. '
"I have been fighting for years for n
rigid canon which will prevent the mar
riage of any divorced person." he said
today. "I believe tlint every married
couple Bhould be made to hold to the
contract. It is my belief that po clergy
man Bhould be allowed to remarry any
person who has been divoro.-"' no mat
ter' whether he or she be f.nown na nn
innocent party or not.
"But T am nfrnid my views differ
from those of my party," he ndded,
with a laugh. When nsked to explain
what he meant by that, he smiled again.
"I would go further." he ndded, "I
believe the church should insist on the
publishing of the bans before marriage,
as it done in England. It would have
a great effect in reducing the number
of thoughtless and careless marriages
and thus aid in reducing divorces."
The divorce problem comes before the
convention later in the wck through
two proposed amendments to the can
nons on mnrrlage, Canon No. 40, one
of these amendments, states simply Unit
"No divorced person shall bo remar
ried." Tho other amendment Is far less
strict tlinu the existing canon, and
would allow the clergymen to mnrry
the innocent party to a divorce. The
present canon tries to dlxcournge such
marriages by requiring thnt t lie clergy
man shall not officiate until after he
has satisfied himself that tho person to
be remarrlrd was an innocent party
to the divorce proceeding. The back
ers of the less strict provision maintain
tlint it is unjust to make the individual
clergyman a Judge of the Innocence or
guilt of ever) person that comes before
him to be married.
Plans Congregational I'nlon
Another of the big matters before the
convention that is interesting the Pliila
delphians is the proposal to bring the
Congregational church into union with
the Episcopal communion. This step
toward church unity Is of great Inter
est, especially ' to ltishop Thomas .1.
Garland, bishop stiffrugnn of the dio
cese of Pennsylvania. Illshop Cnrlnnd
expressed himself today as believing
that the present proposal, which i
rather loosely outlined, will be re
placed by a more definite plan.
"The Kpiscpa! iniircii Is the best
basis for church unity tlint wi have."
he said, "and "iieh general coventlon
seems to bring u slowly toward n
great plan, bj which some day then'
will be renl ami extensive imlty. .lust
now. I feel that the proposed plnus ari
not adequate, but I feel that, out of
the discission that will come before
this convention, we shall reach n better
plnu than any of us has thus fur
thought of."
There are two tendencies toward
church union evident in this general
conveulion. The more prominent is
that which will unite the Congrega
tional Church with the Kplcopal Church
by arranging for a joint communion and
for the appointment of bishops in the
Congregational Church. The plan thus
far docs not enter into a discussion of
the differences in creed.
All of jesterday'a session was de
voted to the report of the hoard of mis
sions, which is to form the basis for the
discussion this week by the joint ses
sion of the nutiun-wide campaign for
.$."1,000,(100.
Kcynnlds O. Brown, who is taking
the place of George Wharton Pepper in
the Pennsylvania diocesan deputation
here, was appointed a member of the
joint committee on the nation campaign.
It is this committee that will handle tho
plan before this convention and upon
its adoption direct the campaign
throughout I lie ronntry.
Itisliop Garland, in discussing the
part that Philadelphia will play in the
campaign today, said he believes that
it will be up to the diocese of Pennsyl
vania, as usual, to raise about a seventh
of the total amount. This would be
about $8,1)00.1100. The needs of the
diocese are said to be about S2.000.000.
Krankliu Spencer Kduiouus was ap
pointed a member of tile committee on
I legislation for the provinces nt yester
day's session of the convention.

the American Ited Cross, gives em
phatic indorsement to the campaign In
a letter made public here today and
written from tho standpoint of n busl
ucss mnn.
"We were nblc, during the war per
lod," writes Mr. Davidson, " to create
u great world-wide organization for re
lief of the suffering resultant from the
conflict j and under the noble impulses
which were nwakened, there was mus
tered into tho 'service of humanity a
Mist amount of hitherto latent will to
serve, without which the success nt
Inined by the American Hcd Cross and
other welfare organizations could not
have been achieved. Now that the war
is over, that will to serve must not he
permitted to relax, especially since the
world Is facing problems scarcely less
vital or of less potential Influence upon
our civilization than those which Were
settled on the field of battle, mid many
of these problems are Incupnblc of solu
tion except in tile light of.tln teaciilngs
of Christianity. To grip and hold per
manently for the service of the na
tion mid humanity this force which the
exigencies of war brought, into play
N a task for which the church is pecu
liarly fitted.
"1 have looked into (lie plans for the
organization of tho campaign and am
glad to say that in my opinion they
ate sound and logical mid, If faithfully
carried out, should lead without doubt
In n successful outcome."
