Anglican Assembly

A new supplication has been written into the Litany of the Anglican Church. It is for the safety (and presumably for the success) of the forces of the King "by land, sea and air." The 20th Century also makes its dent on the Litany by the addition of supplications for "all who serve mankind by labor, commerce and learning "; also, for "miners and those who labor in other dangerous occupations."

These additions were sanctioned by the House of Clergy at the Church National Assembly at Westminster (London). Democracy was recognized by altering the prayer for "the lords of the council and all the nobility " to "the high court of Parliament and all the King's councilors."

In the House of the Laity nothing changed. In the interest of women much was proposed, but nothing granted. Only women who will promise to " obey " can be church-married. The Tenth Commandment also remains intact. It still reads: "Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is his." Miss Maude Royden, persistent feminist agitator, endeavored to have "wife " eliminated. " Women dislike to be categoried with a man's ox or his ass! "
