The following significant paragraph
appeared in the news columns OF the
Constitution yesterday.
Divorces came I'm lots of three and -FOUR
40 time The great number of these
suits vas very unusual and it is believed
that tho record for numbers was broken.
An kinds OF domestic woes, sin and sor-
row We're described in the petitions and
both men and women alleged cuel treat
mont ON the part of their better halves.
While we are engaged in the discus
sion of questions Of material progress,
We are too apt 20 forget those OF a moral
nature. which lie at the very foundation
of our existence. The destruction, or the
lo0sening OF the marriage relation is a
step downward. which leads 10 a condi-
ffon worse than IS % De found In India
or foo Kamr-.lud.
Tho fact chat court has its doors per-
notu9Iv open for the breaking OF mar
r.ars bonds is a standing invitation to
those who are either careless Of respon-
enfifv or slack OF conscience to accept
the proGered relief. Men and women
mar~v with tho fun knowledge that
tbe way 10 the divorce court Is well
creased and that they do not even nave
to nav the court fees In advance. Ihu5
,.oo,fe have become familiar with the
Vice. and the tendency toward divorce
h. constantly on the increase.
WHY should there be any more neea
of lam expeditions divorce court now than
there Was Tor the generation which is
now diving out in honor? Look up men
ana women OF seventy-fve or eighty
wears Of age. in an parts Of the state
who have held on 10 their VOWS WITH
ddefitv which IS a cr0wning glory TO
their age. These people, In their YOUTH
had misfortune to endure, ill-treatment
often to pain them, and yet they up
held the honor Of their children WINE
praying for their erring partners IL o.
ten happens now that the daughter or
such a mother finds more solace III the
divorce court than she does in prayer
and so much the more pity for her.
1t should be the sworn duty Of the So
licitor-general 10 resist, 10 the fun eN-
tent OF his power. every suit fled FOR d.
vorce so that only those having actual
merit may be granted. The public has
more interest in preserving the sanctity
Of the marriage relation than IL can have
in the qualification OF private demorali-
zation.-Atlanta Constitution.

Auditorium. presided over by the Rev
Sam Jones. petition 20 the Governor
skiing the appointment ofthis candidate

women present.
gbis was done in the interest Of tenn
noraDce but it was mistake. 1t is
am right for Individual members Of the
church and for pastors as citizens TO
SIGN peuuons Of this character to The
Governor. but when a preachers assoc
.,,t,,r and church meeting take action
with reference to the appointment Of any
man to political Office, the movement
becomes dangerous.
II There is one wcn established princi-
ple OF American government it is that
church and state must be separate and
that natbor must interfere with the
other. If tho church begins to meddlo
with affairs OF state. the state may
beoin to NEEDLE with affairs Of church.
and we shall soon have a mess Of It,
The church as am organization should
steer clear OF politics.
