BISHOP HALL addressed the Episcopal
Club OF Boston last Thursday evening, at
meeting held at Hotel Brunswick. The
subject for discussion by the club was
Marriage and Divorce from the Stand
point of the Church" Bishop Hall said,
in part: 81 speak on the side of the rigor-
lists. In only one passage in the New Tes-
lament is there any apparent sanction OF
remarriage. The Inconvenience and IL
logical results that follow from this sup
evidence against it. Why should adultery
stand alone as the one cause allowed for
divorce and remarriage2 You as Christians
are not prepared to accept this standard
OF successive polygamy-where marriage is
regarded as 2 temporary partnership In
stead OF q lifelong union. The ideal Chris
tian knowledge of marriage is lifelong
union of one man and one woman to the
exclusion Of all others Of either side"
