JEW RESPECTS HOME
MORE THAN CHRISTIAN
Bishop Satterlee Holds Him Up as
Pattern in Sermon on Divorce.

The Jew respects the home and obs
the Christian.
This utteranee was the keynote Of 8
thoughtful and eloquent sermon delivers
ed by Bishop Satteriee at Christ Church
in Georgetown last night There had
been a confirmation OF a large class
OF children and young people, and their
happy faces served as an inspiration
10 the bishop TO say some earnest words
on marriage and divorce.
Bishop Satterlee didn't attempt 70 ex-
plain why the Jew was a better hus-
band and father than the Christian I5s
said it was a fact, and from the fact
he exhorted the married portion Of hiz
audience and those contemplating mar
riage TO return to better home Gust ONE
than now prevail
The bishop said when he was a young
man he frequently went 10 New York.
Re said be found the families in those
days in their parlors and sitting rooms
playing innocent games Of cards or
reading, or singing songs. The family
circle. ne said, was a place OF enfoy-
that city no one was at home The
husband was at the club. the sons and
daughters at the german OF the play,
and the mother upstairs planning some
social conquest The home, said Bish-
op SstteFee. has become merely
place for eating and sleeping
The head of the family was blamed
for this condition OF things Bishop
satterlee laid the responsibility for the
low estate Of the family on the husbands
OF the land. He was described as a
man Of loose pleasures and lax morals.
This fostered divorce by the loosening
and breaking of family ties The bishop
declared this country would reap the
curse Of Rome unless husbands come
to respect the marriage relation.
Divorce, said the bishop. was tils
greatest evil OF the day. and. If it goes
on, in fifty years women viii be de-
graded TO the level OF Roman matrons
in the days of Nero and CaIigiola.
The bishop admonished his hearers
they had something to learn from the
Jew and his firm adherence to family
ties. The lesson could not be learned
and needed too soon for the good OF the
American people.
