FATHER Richie on DIVORCE.
ne Must Refuse the Eucharist 90 Divorced
PsrsoAs who Are Remarked.


With Divorce" as a text. Father Richie de-
livered a sermon last night at st. Ignatius's
Protestant Episcopal Church In West Fortieth
street. He said In part:
"A large majority OF mankind looks upon
marriage as a civil contract, which may be
broken under certain conditions. non-support,
or incompAti OF temper. for instance. but it
is not such contract; IL lie divine institution,
upon which God sheds the light OF His great
blessing. The word divorce Is looked upon in
two ways-separation, which does not grant TO
either person the privilege OF subsequent mar
riage while the other is alive. and absolute
divorce which means a dissolution of the tie
and carries with 1t the right for one or the
other to marry. Now. so far as the latter
is concerned it is, according TO the Catholic
Church, an absolute impOssibility. There is no
dissolution of the bond save by tile hand OF
death. Gods Church does not recognize ALSO
lutte divorce. except when required by a viola
ton Of the laws OF consanguinity. which are set
forth in tie Book of Common Prayer. or in the
case of a marriage which has been invalid from
its very commencement and therefore no
marriage 81 all. Separation Is recognized under
certain circumstances % be necessary, but
neither person 80 separated Is Tree 10 remArry
Prom lie wording OF the marriage ritual the
man and the woman take each other as husband
and wife until death does them part, and the
minister who performs the ceremony says,
whom God hath Joined together let not man
put ssunder.' That shows that the prayer book
does not recognize divorce. When the Pharisees
asked Christ II il is lawful To put away a wife,
lie told them Il was not, but twice in the book
OF Matthew Christ appears 10 make an eXcep
tiOn TO the law OF absolute diyoHe in the case OF
the great sin against the marriage bond. In
Marx and Luke there Is no mention OF this ex-
ceptiOn. Almost the whole Of the Eastern
Church consider il lawful for the innocent per-
son 10 marry after an absolute divorce ON az
count OF this sin but the Western Church DOES
not recognize such right" Just before closing
his sermon Father Richie said
The Bible and prayer book say that those
who sin against God : laws are not 10 cit Al His
table until they show signs OF repentance. There
are those who sin openly, make no enort 20 hide
their evil deeds, aud whose wickednessis known
10 all men. These evil doors may be In high au-
thOrity or high in the social world, and suppose
one comes 10 this altar, Is IL not my duty 70 re-
pulse hImY Yes. and Il IS now q time for All
Christians 10 take a stand also. The Lord says
those WhO tolerate open breakers OF His laws
70 take u that of the Holy Scriptures, that Al
Discovers Of the marriage lie are adultersrs."

scarcely ever observe gum-chewers,

due to the character of their minis

WHAT THE RECENT REPUBLICAN
VICTORIES MEAN.

The people Of this country have it
in their power to say who shall en-
act the laws and shape the policy
for running this Government. And
by their votes, a certain party is
placed in a position as to be enabled
to control affairs. If after a fair
and impartial test, they judge them
incompetent and unworthy of the
confidence reposed in them, they
can, and by rights they should, take
from them such invested power and
give it to another party more e1fici-
ent and trustworthy, This is just
what the voting element Of this COM
monwealth took the liberty to do,
and did do, on the 9th inst; the re-
suit. Of which was such an over
whelming victory in favor Of the Re-
publican party as has hardly been
precedented in the history of the
Union.
Two years ago they did regardless
of party allegience or prejudice, sur
render the entire Government unto
the Democratic and her sister, the
Populist party-better known as the
peoples party, and they have only
regretted it once-and that has been
ever since they went into power and
to tinker with the laws
Of this country. They have indicat-
ed their utter regret and their COM
plete dissatisfaction with the man
ner in which the predominant par
lies have managed affairs, through |
heir vote in the last election. What |
1oes this relapse imply? Evidently
his, the people of this country have
lad enough of democratic blunders

more of it, and they were determin-
I'd to stay the hand of oppression

Having been nearly seventeen

TIoNAL BAPTIST WORLD rejoices to
note the settlement and legitimate

Seventh ST. Baptist church and the
Washington st. Baptist church,
Paducah, Ky, and we hope and pray

recapture for them all the ground

The conference of the joint commit
tee of the Home Mission Society, and
the Southern Baptist Convention at
Fortress Monroe, was a great event i'll
Baptist circles and the ligious world.
For some time the Home Mission Soci-
ETY. has endeavored to coerce our South
ern brethren into full fellowship as to
missionary and evangelical labors. We
believe the results will be valuable t.
all parties concerned.
The Home Mission Society pledges
that the management and supervision OF
all the colored schools and missionary
work shall remain intact, the same as
heretofore, and that the resNlt of the
Conference will tend to strengthen the
moral and financial sources. The uni
son between these two great Baptist
wings is of primary Importance to the
denomination as we'll as to the Negro
American. 1t unites the white Baptists
and forever bridges the war chasm, and
if the agreement arrived at by this con-
ference is endorsed by the Southern
Baptist Convention, the dawn of a
glorious era is upon us. Some of our
people will be disposed to regard this
move with the suspicion that the cause
of Negro education in the South has
been put into the hands Of our enemies.
This is National, rather than all ethi-
cal way of reasoning. The demands of
the age are many and various, and the
divisions and dissensions of '6I are
rapidly and permanently becoming
matters Of history; therefore let rs ac-
cept the results, as every good and per-
feet gift comes down from God. We
believe there are thousands of good
men at the South who stand ready and
willing to take hold of the spiritual
emancipation of our race; men who
have wanted for the legal opportunity
to do what their sconsciences have long
dictated.

We notice>that in the last issue of the
Parsons Blade we are taken to task for
expressing our opinion Of the author of
certain article published in the Blade
not long since. To this venerable (?)
catharist we will say that as to which
Of the two papers or their editors are
justly "misnomers," we are content to
leave with any schoolboy ten or twelve
years of age, and as regards our getting
warm under the collar, we say we ad-
NIT getting warm, and know we were
perfectly justifiable in so doing for the
reason we know no gentleman even if
of no more than ordinary intelligence,
would have written such an infamous
letter, and any editor with all ounce of
pure gray matter in his Uranium would
not have allowed such malignant
SANDER upon the church of God to ap-
pear in the columns of his paper. We
do know whereof we speak Dorsey, so
you may now put upon our recent arti-
Gle anytphase you please and rest assured
our conscience will not undergo 'scasti-
gation," for we have said nothing for
which we feel sorry. If you are not de-
Tending the cowardly author Of the arti-
Gle in question, what on earth arc you
bowling about? We have no explana- /
ton to make other than this: All cow
ards are at all times ''unseen fees" and
always offer discretion as an excuse for
not signing their names to their malig-
nant articles. But enough OF this; if
anyone's conscience has undergone "cas-
tigation," it must be the conscience of
the Parsons Blade as the following arti
Gle which appeared OIL the third page Of
the last issue of the Blade clearly shows:

The spirit Of dividing our ranks as
Baptists is not confined to any city,
state or section of the country. The
splitters are everywhere, the Baptist
are organized. Abraham and Lot
differed without abusing each other,
as did Paul and his companion But
the Baptists differ, split and too often
like Satan, may try to pull down ev-
erything. In our state we can't af-
ford to divide, we are too few. Ev-
cry brother, SO far as we know, is try
ing to do his share-in his way. Let
us ask the guidance of the Holy Spir-
it in our efforts to push our work.

The article which appeared i'll the
Blade some days ago concerning the re-
vival meeting was unintentionally pub
lished. The matter was sent to the
Office for publication and by some over
sight or neglect it was published. We
have neither reason nor desire to fight
the church, as is supposed by some, and
especially those who have lended their
hand to our aid. If the Blade had even
wanted to condemn anything about the
matter, it would have used more dis
cretion in style and language than was
used in the article referred to. The
Blade is on the side for "right'' and
wishes to selfisEly harm no man. We
hope this will fully and satisfactorily
exemplify us from what entered into
our columns, mawares; and caution
will more closely guard our columns.
