spce, not sssaed by you that according 10 Scripture

civilization.
dorses {" B,slop on Marriage and Dioorce,p 9277,l
that of the various kinds OF divorce, none has been
found in practice 40 immoral as that partial variety,
unknown to our Indiana law, but Known In New
York as Separation from bed and bosrc. You
think it "just right" Let the public Judge be-
4. Referring TO our modern stage of civilization,
have argued that the present age Is prepared 70 see
in the hottest of human relations, purposes Tar higher,
infinitely more worthy the epithet divine, than the
mere operation Of the instinct that peoples the EARTH
that marriage wss designed 10 be, and should be, the
means Of calling ont all that Is best aud puress In the
inner nature Of man; and that, when it becomes the
daily source Of anger, strfes, cruelty brutality, de-
teais Gods purpose violates the Divine economy be-
comes sei immoral, and ought to cease. Yon ds-
sent. Again be the public the judge in the promises.
But If in these dissent there are other points TO
which, in concluding this controversy, am glad to
agree with you. agree that every State has direct
interest in the morals of its members. 1 agree that
whatever policy Is found in the end best calculated 70
promote there morals ought TO prevail. agree that
1t 10 Of the greatest Of earthly blessings, when
married couple dwell together 10 uRity TILL death.
agree that light transient cause should dissolve
the conjugsl union. / agree that men and women
ought mutually to bear and forbear, while evils are
suerable rather than TO right themselves by resort
TO separation divorce. agree fur her that state
lamened and that divorce itself ia grave misfortune
And but add, that when long train Of abuses an i'm
moritee, pursuing invariably the same course, shows
that union has become distinctive Of its holy ends,
then ought 70 be right, and may become duty, TO
select Of tw6svs the lesser; to acquiesee IN the ne
eesty which clearly indicates separation and legally
TO dissolve the bands whic1 connect the i-mated men,
bers together.
In taking leave of you suffer me to correct an eror
which creIt into my second letter. there said that
there was not State in the Union without divorce
law. j ought TO have added, except the State of
"S South Carolina" she boasts, that " within her
limits divorce has not been granted since the Revo-
