NEW MARRIAGE
SERVICE MAY
CUT “OBEY”
Episcopal Commission
Approves Revision—
New Prayers A r e
Planned, Too
NEW YORK.
June 2:2.-(AP).
Reconilnendations that tile word
"obey" and the promise of the
bridegroom to endow the bride with
all Ills “wouldly goods” be stricken
from the marriage service, together
with the optional adoption by the
clergy of a shortened and more
modern form of the ten command-
ments. are urged ill the fourth re-
port of the joint commission on
prayer book of the Episcopal church
made public yesterday. The Rt. Rev.
Charles Lewis Slattcry. Bishop Co-
adjutor of Massachusetts, is chair-
man of the commission.
The report which is to be sub-
mitted for approval to the forty—
elght triennial convention of the
church at New Orleans, October 3
to ‘23, also recommends the elimin-
ation from the book of common
prayer of the instructional para-
graph withholding tram tho unbap-
tized. excommunicated and sul-
cldcs the rite of the burial service.
Numerous other changes in the
book of common prayer recom-
mended by the commission provide
for the introduction of new prayers.
substitution of modernized phrase-
ology for obsolete verbiage .and the
transportation of certain services to
lend logical continuity to the entire
book.
Though the proposed changes
were approved after long debate at
the Episcopal general convention at
Portland. Oregon., in 1022, church
law requires that amendments to
the prayer book be ratified by two
successive general conventions. If
approved at the New Orleans meet-
ing these changes will.become per-
maneut.
The suggested shortened form of
tho\ ten commandments omits
phrases regarded as supplementary
and explanatory. The mandatory
form proposed by the commission
would demand, in file third com-
mandment. “thou shalt not take
the name of the Lord. Thy God. in
vain." but, or leave to the discre-
tion of the individual clergyman,
the explanatory phrase "for the
Lord will not hold film guilles who
taketh \His name in vain."

NEW YORK. June 22.——A few
years ago a. man with as much as
8500.000 in life insurance was com
sidered an aslnine egotist, and such
men were few and far between.
New men insured for $1,000,000
are common, and to have so much
insurance is considered “good busi-
ness."
In acquiring an additional $3,500.-
000 in policies. bringing Illsttoltll to
$6,500,000, William It‘ox, the film
producer. does not become the heav-
iest insured individual, despite re-
ports to the contrary. The largest
known policyholder is Rodman
Wantunaker. merchant, with a total
of $7,500,000.
The Book brothers of Detroit,
Burgess, Herbert V. and Frank I‘.,
have a Joint policy for $15,000,000.
This is said to be the largest single
insurance transaction ever undcr~
taken.
Another film producer. Adolpl‘.
