THURSDAY. MARCH 2S, 1895

Iu the NEWS of March 21st was pub lished Dr Talmage's sermon on topic of national interest-viz "Wholesale Divorce" We hope all our subscribers read that sermon, for we suggest to Dr Talmage that he preach companion sermon on the topic of "Wholesale Marriage"
 Dr Talmage says, "What we want in this country and in all lands is that di vorce be made more and more and more difficult" Dr Talmage cites some of of the causes for divorce but he fails to hit the nail on the head. He denounces the lax divorce laws but he fails to strike a blow at lax marriage laws Were marriage laws more stringent there would be less divorces. It needs no argument to prove that there would be no divorces were there no marriages. Likewise 1t needs no argument to prove that with lax marriage laws justice re- quires lax divorce laws. In other words it would be lank injustice to dig pit fall in the pathway of humanity without providing some way of escape.
 Dr Talamage says "What we want in this country and in all lands is that divorce be made more and more and more difficult" Very good, but in- fnitely better and more just would it be to say "What we want in this coun- try and in all lands is that marriage be made more and more and more diff cult" The law should prohibit town clerks from issuing marriage license to strangers and to persons who either evidently or apparently should not be joined in the holy bonds of matrimony. Ministers and magistrates should be prohibited from performing the mar riage ceremony for strangers, or for persons who evidently or apparently should not be joined together in the marriage bond. One or two illustra- tions are as good as million, hence we will state that for years Millerton, N. Y., has been the Gretna Green of run away couples from Connecticut and Massachusetts; and Canaan, Conn, has been the Mecca of runaway couples from New York state. Recently couple were married at Millerton who failed to get license at Barkhamsted. where they were known. Such cases are of frequent occurrence. Many un- wise and improper, although legal. marriages take place at Millerton which would not were the marriage laws more stringent. Perhaps Millerton is no worse in this respect than many other places situated near the borders of peighbor- ing states. .'An ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure," and were marriage laws more stringent Dr Tal- mage would have less occasion to say "'Unhappily married are two words descriptive of many homestead. It needs no orthodox minister to prove to . badly mated pair that there is hell. They are there now" But still, Dr Talmage seems unwilling to let such persons escape from condition which he calls "hell" We advocate making laws to prevent persons from easily and blindly rushing into @ contract when in many cases the probabilities are the marriage will prove an unwise, impro- per and unhappy one. The ounce of prevention is what is needed the most In brief, VIC think there should be reform in marriage laws as well as in divorce laws.
