Inc paper on Divorce which was road h,-
rev vi. H. Nools"y was scholarly one
throughout. 1t dealt with the question
from the standpoint that marriage was
molly sacrament and should not and
could not be broken acc )rding to Holy
Writ except for one cause. viz: adultery
inc paper showed careful research on the
part of the writer on the existing laws
OF the several States and carefully gath
cred statistics of the growth of this evil
IN our country. At the close Mr.. Woolsey
was generously applauded and it was sug-
EoStcd by Rev. r. r. Davies that the es-
say be printed in the newspaper Of thi;
city. After the readirg of the PAPER Pew
=. y. Kerr was called upon by the char
man. q. F. .. kimball. TO open the dis
cussion of the subject, which he did brief
fN. emphasizing the fact that the Bibla
recognized on.y adultery sufficient
cause fer setting aside the marriage vow,
and also spoka of the difficulties that Of
tontines confront the minister who Is
called upon to unite persons in marriage.
states Attorney Frank l.. Fish spoke up
on the topic as seen from the standpcint
Of lawyer and layman as being 4 civil con-
tract entered into by the parties which
might be terminated if amy just cause
could be proven as for instance wilful DC
sertion, non-support or brutality even
though no adultery was alleged or proven.
MI. fish made mastery argument on
mis- side of the question and was rounIiy
sppaudcd at the close. Rev. e NJ Bart
lett spoke briefly on the subject and
among other good things that he said was
the obligation resting upon parents that
their children should be made 10 UNDER
stand the slCredness of the marriage VOW
and thought that If this was more gener-
ally done in our homes there would bo
less cause for divorces. The following
gentlemen, DR.. f. w Shipnan. j. II. Don
nelly, Capt, Charles Parker, ]. u. White
side, c. Il. Marshall and X. l.. Kngsland
spoke briefly on the subject and each said
some good hings that were TO the point
and Were appreciated by those present.
Rcv Il. Il. Davies closed the discussion.
and held that the marriage tie should for
any good and just cause be annulled. lie
spoke of the time when under the old
Jewish law man he'd the power Of divorce
l in his own hands. Whea woman had no
rights and when the man could for tho
most trivial cause show her the tent door
and bid her be gone by giving her bill
OF enforcement which in reality was let
ter of commendation without which size
could not marry. New since woman has
equal rights with man she has the right
10 appeal to be separated from a man who
in her days of innocence she gave herself
10 and yet has not kept the VOWS he made
to her and he believed it was perfectly
I right and proper ttat she should I've re-
lieVed from such a state that must often
times be worse than death. These meet
= inss are growing in interest and are very
helpful to those after ding them.
Things humorous Will some times OBJ
trude themselves into sacred places where
IL is expected that only reverential avs
should have d place as happened In n
'church not hundred miles away from
here II seems the church is looking for
a pastor and in the course OF events last
Sunday young man from Massachusetts
presented himself as q candidate for tho
place. He preached in the morning and
everything went smoothly but at the even
ing service an incident occurred through
no fault OF his that excited the risiblliiN
OF those who had gathered to hear hin ON
The solemn things of life. The opening
HYMNS had been sung, the scripture lesson
. read and the prayer offered and tho
e preacher stood up TO announce his tsN-
when one of the lamps in the chandelier
;. exploded causing great conservation ana
fear among the audience. Women scream
.rd. men were excited until after a lttIs
tine cause WAS remoN ed and quiet SSalu

Ter again arose to give out his text which
= WAS ''l|or our lamps have gone out W.
kindly draw yell over the effect it pro-
duced on that congregation.
