"A CRIME AGAINST CHRIST"
Recent New York Marriage
Flays Contracting Parties.

BALTIMORE, MD, May cardinal
Gibbons, in the course of his sermon at
the cathedral to-day on the unity of the
church, characterized the recent divorce
and marriage of a society lady in New
York as a crime against Christ. His emin-
ence said:
Consider the pontiT in relation TO King
Henry VIII, who asked for the pope $
sanction to a 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 divorced at O'Clock
and married again almost before the ink
was dry on the divorce papers. This is a
crime against the laws of Jesus Christ.
THE church is one in its teachings. 1t
is the same in France, England, Italy,
San Francisco on the Pacific, and New
York on the Atlantic. All proclaim the
same doctrine, one faith, one hope, one
baptism and one Lord. God grant that
you may not be contented to be united
10 the church. but to the Spirit. God
grant that all may be living branches
