cause the House of Bishops has taken this

that, although our own House of Bishops, by
narrow majority, has passed this canon,
nevertheless this is in conflict with the voice

into legislation. of this kind upon the ground
that we must do something. 1t is remarkable,
but il is a fact, that not one speaker upon
this floor has even attempted to show in what
way this would help to restrain di
vorce. We have had great deal of beautiful
eloquence about the purity of the family and
the sanctity of the home, but no one has
given us a single reason for believing that
either the sanctity of the home the purity
of the family would be conserved or protected
by such legislation as this. Why, sir, they came
to us like a quack doctor, saying: Take this
nostrum of mine, 1t will cure" We want to

confess lies behind the legislation ever been

But 1t is said that this canon does not touch
the right of the innocent party to marry again.
It is defended upon contradictory grounds.
Some tell us it means. the indissolubility of
marriage. Then other members of the COM

lost in moral significance If that is true. Then
it means only just this:
A canon to protect the marriage service not
to protect the home; it is a canon not for the
purpose of conserving morality. but a canon
for the purpose of fencing around the mar
riage service Of our prayer book
Now. sir, here is a confession of the impo-
tence of this canon.
Consider that at the present time this church
is leading the opinion of the Protestant
churches upon this matter. Some time ago in
the diocese of Washington there was com
bination formed under the leadership of the
Bishop of Washington, different ciergymen
of different congregations came together and
agreed to petition Congress to abolish all
causes of divorce except adultery, and that
has been successful. and after the 1st of jan

secured the floor, however, and said:

to the practical side of this question Per-

this fourth section because 1t seems to me that
whenever this church fails to encourage to
guard to defend and to protect innocence she
is departing from important part of her
high and holy mission on earth.
If this canon is passed as it stands it seems
to me that It will be necessary to begin at
once the revision of the prayer book which
