man, IL let alone, would bear his or her con.
nubisl burdens meekly rather than face the
scandal and publicity of q divorce trial.
Our special divorce lawyers know this and
so they invade society They transfer the
base OF operations 10 the drawing rooms.
How? By using swell members of the fash
ionable world TO first ind out where there
is a csnker in the rose, and then to deity
set forth in perfectly Mephistophelian
way how divorce is the only cure. Nine
ten tbs of this delicate diplomatic business
is employed in psrsusding hesitating wives.
Husbands could hardly be approached
In their own homes with proposition TO
break them mp. Take sn impressionable
woman, already unhappy, who has once
been thinking OF divorce, nd the case is
different She is clay for the moulder.
The serpent whispers of how nice IL will be
to bank her almony, tells her lies about
the old man, induces her to believe that the
firm down town will put in no bill il they
don't succeed, and so the affair is or.
ranged"
For this despicable service the agent re-
ceives 10 per cent. of the fee paid the divorce
lawyer by the wife, which fee be il remem-
bered comes out of the husbands pocket.
Oftentimes the agent is called upon 10
personste the husband, especially in serving
the summons of the court upon him, II the
case is to be tried in New York. The lawyer
in charge has the case quietly put on record
in the proper court, and has a summons pre-
pared for service upon the defendant. A
boy is called in from the street-anybody
will answer-and is paid a trifie to take the
summons to the defendants place OF bust
ness or residence. and delivers I. to him in
person. Arrived at his destination, the boy
is met by the agent OF the divorce lawyer at
the door or on the ST cps. The agent sharply
demands bis business and is answered by the
boy that he wishes 10 deliver paper TO Mr..
X. II am Mr.. "" replies the agent,
sharply, give me the paper" The boy. in
perfect good faith. for he has never seen Mr..
" in his life delivers the summons upon
the defendant in person. He is then dis
missed, and plays no further part in the
case. His affidavit is sufficient for this part
of the proceedings, and the shameful mock
cry Of justice procee eds to another stage.
This is no exaggerated description. The
acts of these divorce lawyers are well known
in New York. and every member of the bar
is familiar with their mode of proceeding.
The divorce Ring is powerful clique. Il
will flourish as long as there are foolish peo-
pie to take advantage of il.

PULPIT THOUGHT.

No star in the armament shines 30 beauti-
fully as "a good deed in a naughty world"
and amid all the congregated scum and
yileness of the streets of these great cities
there is not, il has been said, n street. how
ever Short but some window therein burns
with that light which shines in the darkness,
and "the darkness comprehendeth it not
Canon Farrar.
A man must be right, or. though his fell
low.men may not know for time the evil
that is In him, he himself will lose his power
of being good, and so encompass his own
punishment. The eye that persists in seeing
without the power to distinguish between
reality and distortion; the mind that accus-
toms itsels to false ideas of morali ty, of vir-
tue and goodness will become eventually 20
un balanced as not to see its own degreds-
ton. He who accustoms himself to immor-
tality annihilates himself Rev. J. C. Lar
ned.
The Church does not possess all the vir tues
OF an ideal manhood or womanhood. II IL
made up of imperfect beings; but he must
be the poorest reasoner in the world who
can not detect in the Church q rSther super
lei form of human life Il has never CON-
stituted all the social or moral force OF the
world. He who claims that ell modern
forgotten what was in the world before the
Gospels came; but as a vital friend of the
human race it has no rival. 1t has cooper
ated with all else, and besides being O great
new good il has inspired all the old good
with new life.-Professor Swing.
1t is not possible for man to live alone;
the race would perish without the inter
course of man and woman; and from this
arises the family and the home; and from
these again arises communities and citiea
and states and governments. And so 1t is
that the vast aggregates of society depend
one upon the other, and all at last upon the
individuals of whice they are conn oeed; and
hence no one can either live or die alone.
And 1t is only when we study life as thus re-
lated that we can understand either its DOW
er or its responsibility. Alone man is weak;
united, as ia business or politics or religion,
or as a nation, he may become strong. But
the aggregates are composed of their units;
and hence the average strength or weakness,
wisdom or ignorance. virtue or vice of the
many individuals becoming the average o.
a community or a country. We are all the
men and women in the world as strong and
good the best, society would need no
jails, no houses OF reformation. We're all
as bad as the worst, civilization, law and
order and religion would be at an end
