CONFIRMATION AT ST. LUKE's.
Bishop Satterlee breaches on the Fifth
Commandment.

Bishop Satterlee made his annual vista
confirmed the largest class but one in the
history of the church. The class numbered
thirty-one and was composed almost en-
tirely of adults. The musical part of the
service was excellently rendered by an
octet and chorus of thirty voices.
After the candidates were confirmed the
bishop entered the pulpit and preached
notable sermon on the fifth commandment
to congregation numbering 800 people.
After stating that this commandment is the
basis of family life, and that family life is
the basis Of civilization, Bishop Satterlee
said: Home life as we once knew it and
understood is fast disappearing from our
present civilization. and history shows us
that with the decline of home life comes
the inevitable decay of civilization. Rome,
which was the mistress of the world for
Al years went to pieces from this cause.
There are two chief causes for producing
this deplorable condition: one is the craving
and seeking for pleasure, and the other
the divorce court. Formerly Sunday was
the home day, but now the members of the
family are to be found at Cabin John or
father is at the club and others of the fam
lily at the theater If you visit the home In
the evening. If it be not this phase Of the
trouble. then divorce comes in to pull down
and destroy, and in the degradation that
must follow, the first and chief sufferer
will be woman, and after the woman her
children. Christ said that in the beginning
it was not SO. Let those whom God has
joined together nc, man put asunder."

from Manila show that the disaffection
among the Moros of Mndanao is more Sc

that additional troops will have to be sent
to that place to assist in the maintenance
of peace and good order. With this excep-
ton affairs in the archipelago are reported
to be in a satisfactory state. The constab-
ulary is reported to be doing excellent

Bieamy Charge Not Sustained.

In the corporation court late Saturday
afternoon the jury returned a verdict OF
not guilty in the case of James F. Grant.
indicted for bigamy. The principal witness
against him was his first wife, who said
he had left her several years ago, but had
communicated with her and had seen her
several times after that before he married
the second wife. 1t was shown, however,
through testimony for the defense, that
Grant had acted in contracting the second
marriage in the belief that he had been
legally freed from his first wife. His sec
ond wife was a Miss Jones of this city,
who was not present at the trial Grant
was defended by Attorneys Charles Bend
helm and c. c. Carlin. The state was rep
resented by Commonwealth ATTORNEY
