LONDON, November 12. —The pos sibility of Parliament’s rejecting the rev ised Book of Common Prayer is | foreshadowed in a declaration made by the home secretary. Sir William Joynson-liicks, who is expected to be the principal spokesman for the ! evangelical party when the issue comes before Parliament in a few j weeks. The home secretary urges reference back to the church assembly, which, j he says, might in the meantime ein- j body in a separate measure those | j parts of the new Prayer Book about j which there is almost general agree- ! ! ment. He argues that there is no j i finality about the revision, and no j | undertaking that the bishops will en- j ■ force compliance with the new book. ; It will inevitably be used, adds the j j secretary, as a jumping-off ground i | for further demands from those who j advocate and adopt ‘‘Romanizing 1 , practices.” CLUB TO ENTERTAIN.
