/ Sermon on Divorce

mon on "Divorce" recently. His
sermon IN full follows:
DR.. Landrum's text was: Matt.
xiv alt is not lawful for thee
to have her."
Our homes are in peril. The
foundations Of American society
are threatened. Marriage is too
often a mockery. Divorces are
alarmingly frequent; domestic de-
pravity grows apace. According
to the statement of Hon. Carroll
d. Wright Of the department of
labor, | should infer that there is
no nation on all the face of mis-
earth that is so diSgraced as ours
by divorce Ia VS. that are at once
so radical and ridiculous. His
volume Of ITO pages Of carefully
sifted and compiled statistics is
most appalling. During the last
twenty years there have been
granted in the United States 3l2. :
T1G divorces, or nearly third of
a million since 1870. What IL rec
ord of broken vows and blasted
families,
Our population during that
time has increased &C per cent:
our divorces have increased in
that time l5T per cent. That is
the granting Of divorces has been
more than twice the increase in
the popuIo tion ct the United
States though great crowds Of
people have tiocked to us from all
parts of Europe and Asia.
The South was slow 10 catch
this moral disorder. The old
South held to the Bible position
on the subject Of divorce. Di-
vorce was tolerated only when
ona or tho othar IF tho cnntrac,-
ing parties had broken the mar
riage vow. Separation was sanc~
toned by our best society when
there was good Cause for 1t. Sep
aration, however, never looked
towards divorce except DIS in the
case already mentioned. TIE
Christian family in Georgia up to
the close Of the, civil war vas we'll
nigh ideal. Alas, 1t is inptriled
today right here IN our capital
city. Agitation on the subject Of
divorce j. timely. Agitation lead
to educa ton and education to leg
iSiation, and legislation IS Crys-
talliZed public opinion. Oar theme
is one which confronts every
patti lot who loves his country and
every parent who loves his family
and every Christian who loves
his God.

profess uuboUnded admiration
aud attachment, and in that way
excite confidence and love. Or
women go wrong because of van
ity and love of dress ard ease,
which they cannot obtain by their
own efforts Sometimes they err.
Working women because their
pitltul wages are insufficient to
support them, and a scoundrel
takes advantage Of their necessi-
ties.
CAUSES OF MORAL LEPERs
Again, drugs and liquors break
down female moral stamina. Idle
ness, bad books, lascivIous pic
lures, promiscuous and imlnodest
dances, combine to undermine
mOdesty, self-respect and inno-
cence. Youths Of both sexes are
ruined every year under the
sanctity Of the United States
mails. BY means Of 1t the most
infamous wretch may send the
vi!est matter to the purest boy or
girl. Children of all grades of
society, institutions of learning in
all sections of the land, and the
most select homes, are invaded bv
the evil Of licentiouS literature.
Advertisements lure many TO
ruin. Add to all these sources of
female degradation, the lax do
nestle government that prevails
in too many OF orr homes. Add
to this the low view of marriage.
So long as money and not merit
and manhood, so long as wealth
and not moral worth are deemed
the most deSira BILE element i'm
marriage, just SO long will the
sacred ceremony be an unholy
trade, and the party who mar
ries for money and not love is
little removed in character from
the Syrian.
HEROD IS WITH US
Herod and his victims live
among us today. How they need
our pity and help. Now and then
their shame comes out in the pub
lie prints. They seek a dissolu-
ton of the marriage bonds as if
of right. Many times more fire.
quently the victims wIther away
and die Of broken hearts without
disclosing the cause of their un-
speakable anguish. In some way
the victims of mans brutality be-
come demoniZ,d. They declare
war against the sex, and with
deviliSh cruelty and craftineSS set
traps to enSnare, to rob and des.
troy as many men as possible.
He'll hath scarce 4 fury worse
than the woman who, condemned
by society has determined to tget
even' with society by dragging
down as many as possible to her
abysmal depths.
It is the duty of the ministry
and of the church of Christ to
stand squarely up to Gods law
on the subject of marriage. 1t is
a union which can be annulled
only by the hand of death or by
the perjury and lnfidellty of one
of the contracting parties. Di-
vorce granted for a Scriptural
reason allows the Innocent party
to marry again. Such is the
teaching of the New Testament
and the published convictions of
AL the Protestant churches so far
as | have been ole to learn them.
Separation and allrnony should be
granted a wife whose husband i
cruel or drunken, but not a di-
vorce Separation may be desir-
able, justifia BILE aud even COM

where either party has forfeited

the maria ge relation.

Inventive genius Is at work on some
means by which wheels may be made
more durable, and will not swell and
shrink. thus avoiding the necessity OF
resetting the tires. II is suggested that
q groove be cut In the felloe and a
small connecting opening be left,
through which oil could be forced into
the groove. This would gradually be
absorbed by the wood, and would rem
der the material practically waterproof
This method, however. has objections.
The groove removes just so much
strength from the felIoe. and great diff
neuity would probably be experienced
In making the connection between the
iron and the wood so close that the oil
would not ooxe out either OF It's own
weight or by the pressure on the tire,
when the vehicle was loaded. Thirty
years ago . hard-headed old farmer
used TO buy wagon wheels In the raw
wood. He then provided a bath OF
boiling hot linseed oil. This was
poured into an iron trough, made by
bending a section OF sheet iron into
proper form TO hold one side OF the
wheel. Slowly the wheel was reyoived
in the oil, which was kept hot by a
small fire underneath the oil pan. As
the wheel reyolved the oil ran down
the spokes to the hub. and when the
job was finished there was not a place
the size OF pin-head which the oil
had not penetrated. The wheels were
then set up in the sun and allowed to
become thoroughly dry. II there were
any places that did not appear well
soaked the process was repeated: then
the wheels were painted. This oiiing
Of wheels 10 make them waterproof Is
by no means a new idea The origin
ator OF the idea did this not only to
keep out the water and avoid shrink
age. but he claimed that the treatment
would add one year in every three to
the wear OF the wagon. He claimed
also that the oil gave the wood GER
tain amount OF resilliency, and, that
being tonghened by the process, the
wood was infinitely more durable for
any purpose. All OF the woodwork OF
his wagons and carriages was treated
in the same way when possible. II
wheels were bought ready finished.
after the paint wore on from wheels
and shafts they were treated In this
way greatly TO their benefit; but. OF
course. nothing like what the original
oiling would have produced.

crops give protection to the crimson
clover till 1t Is high enough to with
stand the heat OF the sun. 1t can be
sown on the ground after the other
crop is in, and need not be narrowed
in or covered in any way. 1t sprouts
very easily and will soon send down
its tiny roots for moisture and food.
Attempts have been made at some OF
the stations in the north to grow it at
different seasons. but the sowings In
the spring have proven the best In the
south the seed Is sown In September,
and the plant blooms in the following
April, but this rule cannot be followed
here. At the Michigan station crimson
clover seed was sown with oats In the
spring and produced heavy crop OF
fodder in October and November, the
roots being plowed under in the fall,
thus adding much nitrogen and fibre to
the land. Another piece was sown
without oats and produced a much
smaller quantity OF hay, but gave Sec
ond crop that was used as pasturage-
After the pasturage failed 1t was in
shape to be plowed under.
Two years ago the same station seed
ed plat to crimson clover the last day
of each month, beginning with March.
This March seeding ripened good
crop OF hay The plat sown in May
made heavy growth that carried it
through the winter. but this can be
depended on but little. It is evident
that If crop has to be left on as q
protection most of its value is sacri-
feed. even for manure. Spring seedlings
have proved best for northern localities
and will continue to do so for the rea-
son that the seed is more certain to
receive the needed moisture at that
time. Here is one of the greatest dan
gers that the crop has to face-the
Lack OF moisture-for even If it has
enough moisture to start the seed it
often fails, because the moisture is not
present in suficient quantity to con-
tinue the growth till the plant is well
established. The very fact of its sprout-
Ing SO easily is against It in this re-
gard, that any light shower is likely
to cause it to sprout when II has no
moisture by means of which to con-
tinue future growth. The amount OF
seed to be used per acre varies from
eight to fifteen pounds, according to
character Of soil and atmospheric con-
ditions.

orlm.on Glover IN the North.

Crimson clover has been regarded,
and justly so, as plant more suited

Petroleum Fuel.

There is growing interest in the use
OF petroleum as fuel. and many ad-
vantages are claimed for 1t. The linn
tied storage srace required, the fact
that II is almost entirely consumed,
there being but very little waste. and
the ease with which Il is handled. are
strong points in it's favor. 1t produces
no ashes. and contains twice as much
heating power as coal, ton for ton. II
Is clearly. and, when properly man
ased. practically odorless. There Is
room for Improvement in the appliance
60 for using this sort OF fuel, but such
rapid progress Is being made in this
direction that the general adoption OF
petroleum as fuel for certain lines of
work is an assured fact.
