As tho civil war was the mortal
.clash between two conflicting ideas,
so to -day we fInd conflicting ideas in
mortal combat over the marriage al-
tar. The ono is the Christ idea,
Which declares that, marriage is not
a confederation that can be broken
et will, bot an indissoluble union.
This idea asserts that after marriage
the twain in every sense becomes one.
'The second idea declares that easy
tlivorce is not a crime, but often, for
the social good, a necessity. It says
that when a man and a Woman are
unequally yoked together it is better
that they bo separated by law, even
If the Comae for separation be not so
serious as that recognized in the
Bible, and, 111000, that they MEW, if
they wish, contract new marriages.
A CA.LL FOR UNITED ACTION.
Against the further spread and fee

evil the Oatholfc, church is already

terian church, with its goaeral assem-
bly commo
committee wrkIng in unison

night and day. Against it only a
few weeks ago all the Rhode Island
dem
ministers band themselves together
to give religious combat. Thus, ats
the public leaders of many denominos
Orme are fighting this undermining
and would bo destroyer of the home,
it is not inappropriate for me to
speak a. few words in reference to
those legal and domestic causes
which mignt hereafter make "easy
divorce" an impossibility.
First, nothing con bo accomplished
in a material way unless there is
national kgislation or n.t least con-
certed action among tho different
stale legislatures upon this subject.
There most be all over the land har-
monious and united legal action
against the divorce evil. It It
should be made impossi4le for a man
to get a divorce in ono state which
be could not obtain on the same
ground in any ono of the 3,000 di-
vorce courts of the United States,
All those courts ought to be in agree-
ment as to what mums justify and
what do not justify the (desolation
of a marriage.
We recognize the necessity of the
criminal courts of the United States
working in harmony. Why should
we not recognize the necessity of
converted action by divorce courts?
Some years ago in Chicago a man
killed his wife and burned her body
in tho vat of a sauSage factory. Sup-
posing after that crime he could
hero stepped across tho state lino
and in Indiana defied the lewd au-
thorities of 'Illinois. What would
have been the restilt? Supposing
that, a notable murderer could have
walked a free man in Philadelphia, ar-
ter he had poisoned his child wife la
Now York City. Why, murder and
outlawry would be everywhere in the
United States running rampant. To-
day your life would not be worth the
value or a pin only as you wore 01)10to protect It with your own arm and
tiefy your would bo murderer behind
the barricaded walls of your own
home, No, not The only e,afety of
life depends upon this fact: If you
commit it murder in ono state and
then run away another state gover-
aor will recognize your extradition
papers and allow you to be forcibly
returned to the place where you com-
mitted the crime.
FLOOD OF NATIONAL INFAMY,
A second breakwater to dam back
this submerging flood of national in-
famy: It is for the gospel ministers
to protest, against it by .practice as
well as by preaching. Tho pulpit
pannot speak loudly and with the
voice of a true leader unless at the
sarne time it toluses to become a
party to the national crime of easy
divorce, What do I inetta by this
statement? That the minister him-
self shall not be a blatant etad 10
brutal divorce? Oh, no. No sol?
respecting Christian church woold
allow her minister to continue
preaching in her pulpit after a di-
vorce escapade. Paul writes, "A
bishop must: be blameless, the hos-
band of ono wife." No minister's
life can be blameless when ho turns
his back upon his first wife for an
unjust 00.050. But X do meat: this;
A minietor should not officiate at
the .socond marriage of a divorcee
unless he himself knows positively
that the divorced man was not culp-
able ift the snapping of the marital
bonds, 73y sea a ministerial course

ense, a governmental privilege, poi,
mitting mo to marry the parties If I
wish. I am not compollea so to do.
For instance: Tho saloon keeper gots
a city licenee and has tho privilege
of selling ino a glass of whiskey. But
because it is lawful for me to buy
whiskey front hint that Is no reason
why I should drink it. Because the
sporting element of San Francisco
gets a city license for holding it prize
fight that is no motion why I am
compelled to go and witness two
pugilists batter each other's face in-
to a pulp. Because Chicago gives a
license to gamblers to open a race
track that is no reason why I should
go o.nd patrooize the boolsmakers.
Because tho comity clerk tells Inc
that I can remarry a libertine, who
has been sinfully divorced, that is no
reason why I should tarnish the good
name of my church by placing such
a black record upon the session
books. No, no, my brother minis-
ters, wo cannot thus shirk our re-
sponsibilities. You and I are respon-
sible before God lotion wo become of-
ficiating parties in the null:rinses of
divorced persons. A religious mar-
riago means infinitely more than a
mere .civil contract. If not, why do
nearly all people desire to be married
by a clergyman instead of by a police
justice or a county judge?
RESPONSIBILITY OF MINISTEWIS
We aro responsible as ministers. A
legal divorce, in ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred, is not sufficient
ground Inc a church divorce. We
must remember that tho minister be-
fore the world stands as the repre-
sentative of the church. Why, legal
divorces are often obtained tho
flimsiest exeuscs. Bishop Fellows, in
a scathing attack upon this marital
evil, quotes some of the most absurd
and trivial causes on account of
which men. and women have been
divorced. Ono woman got a legal
divorce because her husband enlisted
in the United States navy; another
because her husband smoked and
gave her headaches; another her hes..
bend called her sister a thief; an-
other because her husband did not
like her front hair and cut part of
It off. One husband secured a, di-
vorce because his Wife refused to
sow on his buttons; another because
he told his wife he had found an-
other woman whom he could love
bottom Think of any minister be-
ing guilty of such a beinoos sin as
to marry such divorcees to other
marital partners. It is high time
for us ministers to band together
and rouse public suit:anent upon this
question. 131' our actions as well as
by our preaching we must protest
against this national crime. We must
do this because a church ma:Tinge
berm God and inan moans that the
church: gives its sanction to
1110 union and regards it as sacred
and indissoluble.
A HINT TO PARENTS.
I once heard of a young lady who
used to boast that she was engaged
to three different young Inen tho
same time. She had in her posses-
sion three different engagement rings.
After awhile she dismissed all three
suitors and. married a. fourth. Do
you wonder that after such perfidies
her married life was unhappy ? 'Un-
true to 1101. fiance, of course she was
untrue to her husband. A divorce
scandal a few years later was the
result, lifer father, a noble Christian
num ef the WeStt as a result felt
himself disgraced and resigned his
pulpit, for he was a minister. His
lifo Wan to 001110 Wallet wrecked, as
well as hers. Yon say such a
course as that is an extreme case ?

You cannot trifle with human affec-
tions in youth without being in dan-

can boy and girl; but, foe Iny own
part, especially in reference to tho
promiscuous association of young

are allowed to make, I think they.
have altogether too much freedom.
PURIFICATION OF THE PRESS.
Another divorce preventive : The
purincatiou of the press. both in
book form and in periodical and in
the morning newspaper. Tho pesti-
ferous trash which every day and
every week and every month, like
Winter nliZZar'd, is flung into caw
faces by the snowstorm of the orbit-
ing press is enough to destroy the
healthy heart throbs: of any young
person who is allowed to read it.

WHEN DIVORCE IS JUSTIFIED.
But some one asks me, in closing :
"Aro divorces always wrong ?
Should tt husband and wife be coin -
/1011011 to live together under all con-
ditions 9" Oh, no. Tho violation
of the sateeriage vow justifies divorce,
Christ:8 own words litoply that.
There are other conditione whioh
justify separation, even when there
has been no violation of that vow.
It would bo a grievous injustice to
enforce constant companionship when
one of the parties to a marriage has
contracted habits which render the
continued relation an intolerable
misery to the other. I have known
such cases and MVO l'OjOiCed that
the law permits the innocent party
to be relieved of the burden and af-
fords protection from molestation,
It is not for me to say when a stage
has been reached which demands the
intervention of the law, but I do
contend that it is 0. menace to the
morals of the people whoa a contract
so solemn and sacred as that of
marriage can be broken on pretexts
so frivolous as those now recognized
in many states. I protest also
afgainst the diversity of the divorce
laws of the different states, whish
tends to confusion and uncertainty
in the relation so vital as this to
t,he morality and stability of society.
In tbis discussion I Move present-
ed, 100 the most part, only the tem -
novel side of the divorce queetion.
If I had spoken from the spiritual
side the result would have been self
evident. Gospel love never gram
birth to legal hate. May the Christ
who uttered the protest of the text
against promiscoous divorce bless
the earnest words of one whom Clod
has greatly blessed with a happy
home.

HORSES WHICH NEVER DRINK.
There are hundreds of horses and
thousands or cattle in the Hawaiian
Islands which never take 01, drink of
water throughout the wbole course of
their lives. On all (bit islands the
upper altitudes of the mountains are
given up to cattle ranges. Except
poesibly two or three mooths in the
raioy season there are no streams or
pools or water in any part where the
cattle range, but everywhere there
grows a recumbent, jointed grass
known by the native name of "Man -

The duke had a high opinion of his
own anny-chietly, says Lord Elles-
mere, because its officers were "gen-
tlemen in the true sense of the vsord" '
-but tho allies were something of a
trial. Of one pair of regiments WO
Ord told that -
"At Waterloo the Duke placed them
in the wood of Hougoumont, but
here their courage failed them, and
they fled at the first onset, leaving
heavy work to be dono by tho Foot
Guards. Tho Duke, when he saw
them run, turned to the Austrian
general, Vincent, and said, 'Do you
see those follows run? Well, it is
with these that I must win the bat-
tle, and such as these.' "
ALWAYS GUESSING.
One interesting incident Lord Elles-
mere tells us of svhich illustrates
more than military manuals might do
the secret of the Duke's success as a
general:
'The Duke and Crakes, travelling
in a carriage together, played, to
pass the time, a, game svhich con-
sists in guessing at the description of
the objects to be first met with after
crowning O. 11111 or turning a C00110r,
Me Duke had greatly tho advant-
age, and when Croker observed 'upon
his emcees, said: 'You don't consider
that 1 have been passing my life in
guessing what I might meet with be-
yond the next hill et round the next
corner.' "
We have the Duke's own word for
it that he novel. lost a gun during
his lire, whorens ho had taken some -
wiles.° about 3,000. "There wore
three light guns attached to the Por-
tuguese cavalry taken near Madrid,
after the battle of Salamanca, on the
night before we entered the town, but
they were Immediately recovered, slx
guns 10000 at one time lost at Als
Imera, but were also recovered." Na-
