 Whereas, The Consuls of the United
 States and oIler impartial and com potent observers have reported that the Spanish Government has lost con- , troI of much of the greater portion of the island; that it is powerless to re- store its authority and bring about

a clergyman of the Protestant Episcopal
church to marry either party to a di-
vorce
There is no doubt that the feeling
among the clergy. at least, is strongly in
favor of a revision of the canon as it
exists at present, and the result of the
debate is awaited with much interest
As proof of this assumption, is the
fact that petition has been placed in
circulation which has received the sig
natures of about 1000 of the clergy, re-
questing the adoption of some stringent
rule for this purpose. This proposition

high and low church party alike.
The canon which now applies to mar
riage of divorced persons reads as fol-
lows:
Canon I3, under title 2. section 3 No minister,
knowingly, after due inquiry, shall soem-
nize the marriage of any person who has a di-
vorced husband CT wife still living. if such hus-
band wife has been put away for any cause

and some think that in such a case the
name The Protestant Episcopal Church

be an obstacle in the organization of dio-
ceses or missionary Jurisdictions in the
Catholic countries of South. America.
II is now argued, however. that dur

church has been established in these
countries it has failed in its mission,

wealthy almost beyond belief.
The monks had practically lost their
power and had been succeeded by the
friars, but England was bursting its bonds
of darkness and in response to the uni
versal demand for more popular education
more attention was paid to the foundation
of schools and hospitals than to the foun-
dation of monasteries.

act was to declare the marriage of Henry
