Tighter Rules J* The General Assembly of the Presbyterian C h u r c h moved to tighten regulations on the remarriage of divorced persons. Delegates to the Assembly were expected to approve the report on marriage and divorce which suggested more rigid restric tions on divorce and remarriage. For several years t h e Presbyterian Church has permitted its clergymen to perform remarriages only after the period of a year has elapsed. Pas tors are also obligated to refuse to marry members of other denomina tions whose reason for divorce and remarriage is prohibited by the laws of the church. Warning Against Arabs Returning from a recent study tour of Israel, 13 American Christian leaders declared that the arms and munitions which Britain is supplying to the Arab states could be used for a new blitz attack on Israel. Further more,, the failure of both American The Bible in the News (Continued from Page SO ) •
and British governments to respond to Israel’s request for arms indicates a discriminating policy. The 13 lead ers called upon our Secretary of State to halt the shipment of arms to Arab nations until peace with Israel is signed, and to further grant Israel the right to purchase arms in the United States as a possible deterrent to further aggression in the Near East. This casts an interesting sidelight on the Scripture prophecy that during the last days Israel will be a nation unarmed, possibly whose physical in tegrity is guaranteed by a League of Nations.
