Chronic Catarrh

II Seens silly.

We think that Bishop Potter, Of the
Episcopal diocese Of New York, has
done that which he will find it hard to
justify, in applauding the Rev. Henry
Aud for marrying q woman whom he
declared at the altar that he would not
live with. Il appears that she held
an old written agreement of the clergy
man to marry her, and that she demanded
itsexecution. Bishop Potter advised him
that 1t was his duty to do what he had
promised and after lie had done it he
wrote to him that she had behaved
honorably and saved a scandal"
We do not see how bishop can recop-
Gle himself to look in this way at the act
OF q man who goes through the marriage
ceremony, but adding 10 the essential
VOW declaration that he will not live
with the woman and does not want her
ever to enter his house. If that Ia not
mcckery Of the service we do not know
what may be 30 called.
In a legal aspect Of the case, such a
performance followed by the immediate
separation Of the parties, Is no marriage
at all. 1t takes intent ard consent to
marry to.constitute marriage. When a
man says to woman that he will take
her rs his wife but that she shall not
live with him, be talks nonsense and
utters self-contradiction which nulli-
fes the ceremony in the eye OF the
law, 80 long as he persists in
his determination not to treat the woman
as his wife. We do not understand that
the Rev. Henry Aud was duly married
By that ceremony. If the Episcopal
church recognizes such performance as
marriage It requires less of the
marriage ceremony than does the law;
and one would think 1t would ask more.
Bishop Potter gave poor advice to the
Rey. Aud, and has fals3 idea of the
proper thing for a man to do who is On.
gagged to be married and does not want
TO be married. In such a case he has
70 choose whether he will keep
or break his engagement. lie cannot
keep and break 1t, rs the Rev. Aud pro.
poses. Toa woman who would haul
man forcibly before the altar, as his
widow hauled him, little considera-
tion is due; and a man who would
marry under such duress would
be fairly set down as q goose; though
when he acts under the duress of the ad-
vice OF bis bishop the latter must take
chs big end of the responsibility. Aud
how can it be that q bishop and clergy.
man together can combine to argue that
man can marry and reject woman in
the same breath. Is it not sillyY
