BISHOP HUGHEs's ADDRESS
After the marriage ceremony, Archbishop Hughes
delivered address Of about half an hours length,
in which he made earnest protest against the
system of divorcing. The B0msh Church, he said,
never granted divorce, although, by perssting in
this principle in the case of Henry VIII she lost
England. The sacredness of the institution of mar
riage is directly opposed to divorces. Its no mere
human css.ract, to be dissolved at the option Of
either party, but can only be broken by death The
state Of society where divorces We're easily attana-
bic proved the bad effect Of the divorce system At
ter dwelling for some time this topic the speaker
alluded TO the uselessness Of a double marriage by
both Catholic aud Protestant rituals He declared
that a repeated marriage a mere absurdity. In
the present case the parties united in ST. Patrick e
Cathedral were fully married. and needed further
marriage ceremony. The Archbishop then exhorted
the bride and groom to exercise mutual forbearance
toward each other and reminded them of the duties
and cares of married life.

wreathed about the chandeliers and picture frames
