tional Conference of Charities and Cor
rection, urged that to prevent pauper-
ism ciergymen and State officers should

the ministers and officials called to per-
form the solemn rites had to bind
themselves responsible for the support
of the families resulting The prospect
would be too appalling in its possible
consequences to be risked even by the
most self-sacrif1cing laborer in the
vineyard of the Lord.
