PRAYER BOOK APPROVED
CHURCH ASSEMBLY DECISION HEAVY MAJORITIES (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian Press Association) Reed. 10.40 a.m. LONDON, Friday. Final approval of the revised Prayer Book was carried in the Church Assembly by 396 votes to 153. The bishops approved it by 32 to two, the clergy by 183 to 59, and the laity by 181 to 92. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Randall T. Davidson, who presided over a full attendance of 711 Churchmen at the final stage of the revision of the new Prayer Book, read a message from Australia signed by two archbishops, 17 diocesan bishops and 800 clergymen. The message expressed sympathy with the primate in the rejection of the last book by the House of Commons. Dr. Davidson said he had been strangely taunted with forgetting Churchmen oversea. His reply was simple. He was in close touch with Churchmen within the | Empire throughout discussions. He contrasted the present rather wearisome proceedings with the procedure formerly, when a few responsible and capable men completed their task in a month or two.
