TIIE MORNING OREGONIAX, SATURDAY, APR II 15. 1922 EPISCOPAL MIHmiEH E Revision of Prayer Book Is Scored in Pamphlet. ROMAN LEANING FEARED Knbrlc on Reservation of Blessed Sacrament Declared Basis for Adoration Later. NEW TOEK, April 14. (Special.) The revision of the book of common prayer of the Protestant Kplscopal church is now being- assailed as re sards the rubric permitting reserva tion of the blessed sacrament, and 8 pamphlet calling it "aggressive, an unwarranted invasion of doctrine. and a dangerous alteration of the doctrinal atmosphere of this church." has been circulated from room 180S at No. 347 Madison avenue. New York. This attack was backed by the prayer book papers' Joint committee, a private organization, and not in any -way connected with the joint comis- eion which was authorized by the general convention to report at its coming meeting in Portland, Or., iti September, on the question of enrich ment of the ritual and ceremonial of the church. This committee has been spreading the propaganda in connec tion with the Evangelical Education society of Philadelphia, the Evangel! cal Knowledge society of New York and the church league, all actively "low church." Pamphlet by Clergyman. The pamphlet which today was be ing: privately circulated among the clergy and those whose names have been certified as delegates to the general convention was written by the Rev. George C. Foley, of the fac ulty of the divinity school of Phila delphia. All through the pamphlet the underlying Idea seems to be that ahown by the writer in his comment of page 2, touching the proposed changes from "Whitsunday to "Pen tacost." that It "seems to be a foolish and needless imitation of Rome." The rubric, which has been made the object of nearly all the assault of the writer Is as follows: "But note, that, subject to the regu lations of the ordinary, the priest may reserve so much of the conse crated bread and wine, as may be required for the communion of the sick." "Now It will be remembered," wrote Dr. Foley, "that even in the prayer book of 1549 of Edward VI, reser vation was confined to 'the same day,' on which the consecration took place in the church. And this is all that the recent convocation in England has ventured to suggest. Attitude Is Criticized. "I think that the attitude of minds which regard even the first prayer book as too timid, too subversive of pre-reformation customs, is so novel in this church that It may fairly be described as aggressive. "It is also a prohibitive invasion of the sphere of doctrine. "It is clearly contrary to Christ's purpose in the institution of the sac rament. That purpose was for com munion and not for devotions to it or in the presence of it. Again, it Is contrary to primitive usage and was Introduced as a novelty after the first xnillenium of our era; which is alto-; crether too late for any claim for catholicity or authority. "But we have the plaintive explana tion that the sole motive Is the tender desire to worship the Lord; and the implication is that others have less desire for affectionate devotion. But it is not so; we simply do not want to Latinize our worship I had almost said to paganize it. ' Roman Tendency Feared. "Beginning with eucharlstic adora tion, it will be very difficult to stop short of the full-Roman use. Expo sition and benediction will logically follow, as appears from the practice in a number of our churches and in the petition of 1000 clergy for Eng land for reservation. "Therefore we conclude that as res ervation for the sick is not an impera tive necessity, as we are warned that it will be employed for purposes of worship, as it will infallibly be inter preted to permit and indorse adora tion, as this will be a fundamental and complete inversion of the church's doctrinal position, it will neither be wise nor safe to authorize reservation in any form for any purpose." POODLE DOG WILL CLOSE Famous San Francisco Restaurant Succumbs to Prohibition. SAN FRANCISCO, April 14. The eld Poodle Dog restaurant, a San Francisco institution since the gold days of 1849, has succumbed to the change wrought by prohibition and will be closed. The sale of furniture and fittings of upper rooms, where private dinners and other celebrations used to be held, will take place April 21, and" the restaurant Itself will shut down soon afterward. It Is the fourth well-known restaurant in San Fran cisco to close since the prohibition law went in force. "How can a person with a palate, a stomach and a knowledge of cook ery, be content with laws that limit his diet as narrowly as nature limits the tastes of a cow?" asked Camille Mailhabeau, one of the proprietors, today. "Is he to be taught by law the simplicity of the cow? Enough! We go to France!" JAPANESE PRICES HIGH Boston Importer Going Home From Orient Tells Impressions. Japanese retailers have been slower than American merchants to readjust themselves to post-war conditions, ac cording to Gerald Towle, Boston fur Importer, who, with his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. John A. Towle, are in Portland en route to Boston from the orient. "Retail prices are from 100 to 200 per cent higher than normal, and there seems to be little disposition on the part of merchants to deflate val ues," he said. "Nevertheless, prosper ity seems general. "I found in Japan a distinct feel ing of friendship for America and England, which has undoubtedly been fostered by the four-power agreement signed at Washington."
