CHRIS IAN MARRIAGE AND
DIVORCE.
One of the Reasons Why This
May Yet be u Catholic Conn
try.

The New York Tribune Of the 24th
in its usual Monday reports Of the
various churches says:
The Rev. r II. Clarke, of London,
q Jesuit priest and editor Of The
Month, a Catholic magazine, preached
at st. Francis Xavier's church in Six.
tenth street yesterday morning, on
Christian Marriage. 1T is only in
the bosom Of the Catholic church."
he said, that saints are found. Who
ever heard of a Protestant talking
about Protestant saints2 They be-
long alone to our own church. Christ
never forgets His people or His
chu oh. Days come and 60, and the
years roll onward toward eternity, but
His love still burus. Such should be
the affection which the husband ex.
tends to his wife. He should share
with her not only his goods and pos,
sessions, but his interests, his
troubles and his amusements AS the
church depends on Christ for every
blessing, so should the wife depend
upon the husband. The end of the
union Of Christ with the church is the
bringing forth Of children to God; the
end of the marriage of husband and
wife is the bringing forth of children
for the service Of God. In the olden
time it was considered the greatest
happiness for a mar to be surrounded
by children. The modern world out
side the Catholic church tells a differ
ent tale. There has grown up Of late
among parents a positive dislike for a
large number of children; child. bear.
ing interferes with the amusements,
the gay life and the worldly delights
of women. There are those actually
calling themselves Christians who, even
at the cost of disobeying all natural
laws, refuse to ALLOW themselves that
family which God has ordained should
be brought forth. 1t is because the
fathers and mothers in the Catholic
church have refused to transgress the
holy laws which should govern mar.
ried life that the Catholics are multi
plying more rapidly than those Of any
other denomination. A London stat.
isticisn once told me that while the

Of the United States during the past
forty years had been 1856, the per cent
OF increase in the membership Of the
Catholic church had been $40, or
