were animals and not living souls,
It Is possible that the American
deserters belong to that group of
perverts.
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.
