Gibbons, in the course Of his sermon
at the cathedral, on the unity of the
church. characterized the recent di-
vorce and marriage of q society lady

His cminencc said:
Consider the pontiff in relation to
King Henry VIII, who asked for the
pope's sanction to q divorce so that he
might marry again. The pope refused
to give 1t, saying:
Whom God hath joined together,
let not man put asunder'. Only a few
days ago the country was shocked at
a woman in high life who was di.
vorccd at = o'clock and married again
almost before the ink wa, dry on The

against the laws Of Jesus Christ.
The church is one in its teachings.
II Is the same in France, England,
Italy. San Francisco on the Pacific,
and New York on tho Atlantic. All
