There is only one kind of C'.hristian marriage, and that is characterized by finality and lasting- ness and has to be worked out in love and patience. There is good cause for the Church's concern over the percent flourishing state of the divorce market. The prescribed Marriage Service in every Christian der omIna tion is one of the most moving and most solemn of all Services. Although these services were originally intended to be held in a eltuneh or chapel, they lose none of their solemnity when :held in a private home. Much is to be gained by having all Marriage -Services held in the church, the place where prayer is wont to be made. But whether the ceremony takes Place in church or not, no professing Christian should seek the secular alternative of taking the marriage vows in the presence of some civil authority, Those who enter into the 'matrimonial state without the sanctions of religion commence their married life in an atmosphere unfavourable to the highest interests of themselves and their children. Ilndoubtedly most of the wartime marriages that ended in failure were hasty affairs to begin with, The participants could not ]rave seen anything vital or sacred in the step they were taking. The de- ficiency of their own Christian life made them blind to the significance of Ohristl:an marriage. The subject of 'nixed marriages' leas been given some prominence in recent ntoaltbs, That Is to say, marriages between a Protestant and Romain Catholic. Recent incidents in Canada point to the undesirability of such unions and they should not be encouraged. Marriages of that sort have only too frequently brought evils 'in their train, not only for the parties 'concerned but for their unfortunate children. Melville Church "Deadly Sins" was tbe subject oe the minister's address on Sunday morning. The subject served to Point out the tendency to cover up a multitude of common sine by focusing attention on major in- stances of murder, adultery, and robbery as publicized by the press, radeo and cinema. The morning anthem was "Brother James' Air" by eMacBean. The subject of the evening service was, "Discerning Time and Judgement," based on' Ecclesiastes 8: 6.
