Right Rev. James R. Winchester, bishop of Arkansas, who had not at tended the conference, led in attack ing the resolution Introduced through the conference report. T don't see any reason in the world why we should leave out the word 'obey!'" said Bishop Winches ter. "I want to register my protest.

Proponents were equally zealou In their stand. "Obedience Is the relation between parent and child and not between partners," explained Bishop Charles P. Anderson, of the diocese of Chi cago. "This country is the only one In the world where this old form of promise remains," declared Bishop. James H. Darlington, of the diocese of Harrlsburg.
