Increase Of Divorces In Society.

The increase of divorce cases in the
london courts is attracting attention.
Six hundred and eighty-three suits were
entered last year, and that was an in
crease Of 20 per cent over the figures Of
the previous year This year there are
720 petitions for absolute divorce. This
increase is not quite as great as that
shown in France, but it is sufficient to
alarm the moralists. 1t seems that the
petitions are mostly from husbands, and
it should be remembered that the Eng
lish law gives divorce to husband for
unfaithfulness only on the part of the
wife, whereas wife, in order to secure
relief, must prove both unfaithfulness
and cruelty. That there is a marked
change taking place in the public mind
with regard to the sacredness and per-
petuity CT marriage is unquestioned. AS
an instance of it may be cited the case
of the Rev. William E. Chalmers of the
Parmly Baptist church, Jersey City. On
March 26 Pastor Chalmers preached a
sermon from the text of Matthew xix.
6: Wherefore they are no more twain.
but one flesh What, therefore, God
hath joined together, let no man put
asunder. The sermon preached upon
these words held to the perpetuity and
inviolability of marriage. and the
views thus expressed produced so much
dissatisfaction in the congregation that
Mr.. Chalmers was forced to resign 1t
should not be said rashly that this indi-
Gates laxness of morals 1t is rather
an indication that the world at large is
growing to the opinion that if man
and woman cannot live happily togeth-
er, and their marriage is not bene-
fetal to the community. they had bet
ter separate. This is not religious
view. 1t is simply an expression of the
polite common sense of mankind.

Judge Peabody Of st. Louis recently
delivered very remarkable decision in
a case of wife beating. In effect be
announced that in certain conditions a
husband has a right to knock his wife
down. His exact words. as reported in
the st. Louis papers. are: IN this case
the wife was more guilty than the hus-
band for trying to contradict and thwart
her husbands viii in the presence Of
the children, thus setting them bad
example. which he had right to re-
Duke. There are times when woman
irritates her husband to such an extent
that he cannot control himself and uses
his hand or fist. AS long as no serious
harm is done. don't Relieve in punish
ment" This decision is so fatty op-
posed to popular sentiment as to be al
most startling But it. is at the same
time strictly in accordance with the
traditions of the English common law
and sounds very much like an echo of
the eighteenth century.

! FELLOW STUDENTs:-You,n no doubt
along with us, feel that in the recent
sudden death of Prof. Breckenridge
you have lost a true and valued friend.
You remember the kindly interest
he took in you, not only while in his
school, but after you ceased to be an
attendant there; also, how earnestly he
labored to aid you to become more in,
telligent men and women; you doubt
less remember with more kindly
feeling and higher appreciation the
deep concern he took i'm reaching your
inner life, and arousing within your
hearts the noble aspirations for higher
and better things.
You, perhaps, feel, as you reflect up
on the events of your school days, that
the laudable ambition he awakened i'm
you to reach higher plane, morally
as well as intellectually, has, in a
great measure, enabled you to become
what you are.
A number of his pupils who were
present at his funeral, prompted by a
desire to manifest in some appropriate
and tangible manner their esteem for
him, and their appreciation of his
work, met at the DEBORAH Institute in
the evening to discuss ways and
means of raising fund to erect suit

his work.
In order that the thought thus ex-
pressed might be carried into action, il
was deemed advisable to entrust the
work to an executive committee, and
accordingly the committee of seven,
composed of those whose names appear
below, was selected.
We have chosen to reach you by is

opportunity to contribute to this fund.
We trust that you will take per-
sonal interest i'm this matter, and, in
addition to prompt remittance, as
