From lecture by Hon. f. j. PhalpS before
the Divinity School of Yale College
There are IL few le4al safeguards, where
there ought to be more, surrounding the
ceremony of marriage. a marriage Ii
cence is sometimes required, but lack of
it does.not vitate the marriage. The pen
atty for violation usually falls on the
clergyman. The public have Il right to
require that they shall be furnished with
certain evidences rs to every marriage.
The law sometimes requires publication of
banns or of intention, 1t also sometimes
requires that the clergyman shall keep Il
record of marriages himself, or deliver it
for filing III a designated public Office.
Whatever the requirements of the law
may be they should be carefully observed.
IL is also wise for every clergyman to pro-
vide himself with record evidence of
every marriage he sOlemniZes even if the
law does not require it. 1t is often inpor-
tant for the vindicatiOn of the rights of
parties concerned, and often to the Vindi-
cation of the minister himself. The Eng
! fish law requires that the parties sub
scribe their names to the record of the
officiating minister. AS IL matter of pru-
dencc this should always be done, even
though not legally required AS to the
marriages which may be celebrated The
parties must he of sufficient age, fourteen
for the male twelve for the female, by the
]
must be unmarried, and not related with
in the prohibited degrees. There must be
no cOmpulSiOn nor fraud. \ representa-
ton that Il marriage ceremony was mere
ly Il formal engagement was held fraud in
Vermont. In some states consent of par
entS is required when parties are under
Il certain age. But when the parties are
over the required age, or where no such
law prevails. the minister should proceed
with caution III certain class of cases.
There is no obligation of law compelling
yOu to perform the ceremony. In every
case of Il proposed marriage that bears the
appearance of being secret, or with undue
haste, the clergyman should beware. \
secret marriage can rarely be justified,
There is a distinction between secret and
II private marriage. Care should be taken
with haSty marriages and marriages at
unreasonable hours Such marriages by
the English law are guarded against
Every marriage there must be sOlemniZed
in Il church except by special permission
Banns must be published the ceremony
must be before twelve o'clock. noon. A
proposed private marriage may be attend
ed with obvious disparity of age or COndi
ton between the parties. Circumstances
may indicate that something is wrong
: Thousands Of marriages have been Cele
brated when word to IL foolish or mis-
guided girl by the minister would have
saved her from ruin. \ clergyman j,
lacking in the very highest duty in regarC
to that sacred ceremony who does not in
form himself, SO far rs he can, re9ardinl
the circumstances OF a proposed priVat,
, marriage Want Of consent of parents il
the case OF young girl should always Oc
ca>iOu inquiry Delay ANA wise counse
may prove most salutary.

lace their corsets and wear them for
months without changing the strings,
SO while the bodies grow bigger
the stays do not and compression
takes place. An inelastic corset effectu-
ally hinders the gradual enlargement of
the body of growing girl and presses on
her soft bones like wise At no period
OF life is the pressure on any part of the
body so terribly injurious as during the
period of growth, for not only are the
bones soft and easily deformable, but
every organ of the body has its duty of
development to perform, and this de-
velopment is cramped and hindered by
external compression. AS pressure on
any part is injurious, mothers must see
that it will not be right simply TO remove
the pressure of the clothes from the waists
and suspend their whole weight from the
shoulders, as is frequently done, as this
is a cause of STOPPING, of poking forward
the head, and of spinal trouble. The
weight of the clothes should be evenly
distributed, and this result can be accom-
plished by wearing union garments fitted
rather closely to the figure, or by support
ing petticoats and drawers to well-fitted
bodice. If we want our children to have
erect frames, clothed with fine muscles,
we must see to it that they have healthy
dress, a liberal amount of physical exer-
else, and well-prepared, nourishing, plain
food.
