said philosophically. "Up in York state
they wouldn't curry me with skirts. So

In the Is years that l have been bish-
op l have become convinced that some
Catholic men and women do not know
the sacred character of Christian mar
riage. Some Catholics decide in an hour
to get married, some in six months, and
they run off to squire, a non Catholic
minister. layman, Jew, heather
or a pagan and get married. They make
no Christian preparation for the mar
riage. but instead they commit crimes
end sins of such au awful character that
would not dare to mention them.
There are many who get married in a
state of mortal sin. This brings curses
down on the marriage and causes many
unhappy lives. That is why so many
husbands and wives are separated. -
