A campaign in l/oiulon against the "Indignities" to women contained In the Anglican marriage service is. the : latest effort of the Suffragottes'Spi ritual Military league. Fifteen such moral humiliations are mentioned > in the manifesto, which the league ? is sending to every clergyman of the Church of England and to all ! persons whose forthcoming marriage! is announced in the daily papers. , Tho first two indignities alleged are tho words, "obey and servo him." which the bride is required to re peat. and tho question put by tho minister, "who giveth this woman to bo married to this man?" Ono of the remedies suggested for both is the omission erf the words; the alternative is that the bridegroom bo required to promise to obey her and serve h?>r. and that tho minister al so ask "who giveth ?this man to be married to this woman."
