DAVID L.

LAWRENCE, Secretary of the Commonwealth, The Week In Religion By Benson Y. Landls Christian Unity, Social Issues Also to Be Prominent; Churchmen Discuss Boycott of Japan. Many of the Issues to be faced by the. triennial general convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church, which convenes in Cincinnati, October 6, were being discussed by churchmen of all religious bodies this week. Interest now centers on the proposal of the Commission on Marriage and Divorce; the attitude of the Episcopal Church toward Christ Ian Unity; and the recommendation of a commission that the presiding bishop be elected for life, be relieved of diocesan duties and be given the title of archbishop if the convention so desires.

The attitude of the church on controversial social and economic Issues, especially organized labor, will also occupy a prominent place. It Is reported that the Church League for Industrial Democracy, an unofficial Episcopal social action group, has prepared a resolution disapproving of the pront motive in industry and will attempt to set this resolution introduced into the General Convention. Divorce Issue Prominent Churchmen were particularly Interested this week in the recommendations of the Commission on Marriage and Divorce, of which Bishop Herman Page of Michigan is chairman. At present, canon laws of the Episcopal Church forbid remarriage after divorce except to the innocent party in a divorce for adultry, or if the divorce Is an actual annulment on any one of several specific grounds. The Commission would add a section giving to the Bishop the right to authorize the remarriage of other divorced persons after one year, no matter what the cause of the divorce.

The new proposal is being vigorously opposed by high churchmen, known as Anglo Catholic, and by other churchmen who believe In the Indissolubility of Christian marriages. The report of the Commission refers to conditions In England where the Anglican body has uncompromisingly opposed the remarriage of any divorced persons. These American churchmen say that the intransigent position has failed. They say that "the leading layman" of the English Church "has recently married a twice divorced woman, and that Parliament has been forced by public opinion to broaden the legal grounds for divorce. In the Protestant Churches of the United States, marriage and divorce "laws" and rules vary greatly.

The Congregational Churches do not legislate on marriage find divorce Some agreement is found, for ex ample, in the marriage law of the Evangelical Church, the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Lutheran bodies, (he United Presbyterian Church, all of which permit divorce on grounds of adultery and all of which permit the remarriage of an innocent party In a divorce for adultery. Japan Boycott Debated Religious circles are debating the question of an economic boycott of Japan. Individual religious leaders and a few local religious groups have come out for such a boycott. But the churches have generally been opposed to the use of the economic boycott as a weapon in the past and hence considerable dif ferences of opinion are already de veloping. Dr.

E. Stanley Jones of India, one of the best known and influential Protestant Churchmen, has sent an appeal to English and American Churchmen urging a boycott. But a group of religious leaders this week cabled to Dr. Jones at Manila, where LEGAL SEALED PROPOSALS Reading, Sept. 37.

RALPH E. SCHOENER. County Controller. SATU AY MO ING, OCTOBER T937 Horoscope: "The Stars Incline, But Do Not Compel" SATURDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1937 According to astrology this should be a fairly fortunate day. The stars Impart mental vigor and encourage Initiative.

Under this planetary government men of affairs will be concerned regarding future plans and policies. Added anxieties are forecast for heads of business as well as government officials. While commercial enterprises will be stimulated at this time labor continues under evil portents. The workers may be Involved in physical encounters. Mercantile activities now will be greatly Increased and buying stimulated.

Retail and wholesale business will swell in volume. Changes in law courts and in the judges are prognosticated for this month. There will be widespread discussion regarding federal appointees. Criticism of government policies and of those who direct them will increase In bitterness. It will be revealed in the public attitude toward international affairs.

Aviation comes under a planetary direction which promises most amazing developments. New inventions will be of supreme importance. Education will benefit through the fall when many new and improved methods will be applied in elementary grades. Universities will profit and students will multiply. Persons whose blrthdate it Is have the augury of a year of prosperity to which new contacts contribute much.

Friendship will be helpful in speculative ventures. Children born on this day probably will be imaginative and temperamental. Subjects of this sign of Libra have Venus as their ruling planet. Hannah Adams, historian, was born on this day 1755.
