HUSBANDS AND WIVES.
Two Pastors Discuss the
Marriage Problem
Optimistlcally.
WHEN IT DOES NOT FAIL.
Manly Protection and Loving Sub
lection The Reciprocal Duties
of Spouses.
WHEN IT DOES NOT FAl

The Rev. Henry A. Westall. pastor OF
tine First Universalist Church. preached
last evening the second OF a series of ser.
mons which have attracted wide Interest.
The subject was the old, old question, SIS
marriage a failure?"
So many people were anxious to have
their minds set at rest on this vital CUES
ton that standing room in the church
was at a premium. The following is MI.
Westalps idea of the matter:
Count Tolstoi, in his widely adver-
tised 'Kreutzer Sonata invites much
criticism on the subject Of marriage
being a failure. In no portion of the
book does he c~ountenance or suggest
RIGHTEOUSNESS or make it attractive in
any way; but he gives a true picture OF
life In Russia as it is today among the
better class of people. We disagree with
Tolstoi. however. when he says that mar
riage is a failure and that celibacy should
be aspired to by all Christians.
A CHRISTIAN INSTITUTION.
SIT is true that the Savior and Apostle
Paul were unmarried. but, then, they
lived under different conditions h we
do. Christ always spoke in commenda-
ton of marriage. In no part of the New
Testament is ~cellbracy admired or advo-
Gated.
There is nothing In the life of the
Savior which frowus upon marriage.
Although unmarried, Christ did not lead
a solitary existence but, instead, a So
cial life. The ancient idea that Christ
iaus must shun the world and innocent
amusements and pleasures finds no en-
enlargement In either the examples
or teachings of Christ. We must
conclude therefore that Count Toll
sol represents oriental asceticlsm
and not Christianity. His doctrine tends
to erect caprice and passion into law. or
else to burst the bonds Of organ cohesion
and arrest the progress CT the race. One
might safely say that Tolstoi is crazy.
THE PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE.
upon the purpose with which one
marries. depends the future success or
failure. Ii o man becomes a husband for
the SAX of his own happiness. he may
find that he is mistaken. II. on the
other hand. he loves his wife and children,
he finds in marriage all that he antici-
pated. OF course, without love, marriage
is o sad failure, we admit. Wherever you
see husband aud wife walking hand in
hand and henrt in heart, you will see mar
as the Lord intended it should be.
In that case marriage is by no means a
but a happiness to all con-
cerned."
Next Sunday evening 'Divorce' will be
the subject Of Mr.. Westall's lecture.
