WISHES DELAWARE
TO FORBID DIVORCE
Bishop Coleman Does Not
Believe in Separation.

WILMINGTON. Del, Feb. 3.-Bishop
Leighton Coleman. of the Episcopal
diocese of Delaware, has begun an agi-
tatioa of the divorce question. He
wishes the General Assembly to pass a
law forbidding divorce in this State on
any ground. He contends that such a
law would be in accordance with the di-
vine commands. and would improve the
condition of human society. The bishop
had the following TO say relative 20 the
matter.
L am uualterabIy opposed to divorces
on any ground whatsoever. Any Iegis-
Iation OF any Interpretation of the law
that promises to make it more difficult
TO obtain divorces meets with my hearty
and grateful approval
1t mas long been a reproach in this
scandaIous business that. while it has
been impossible ia some States to OBJ
tain divorces for certain alleged causes,
it has been possible to do so in other
sections of the country.
What is wanted-and wanted badly
is that there should be on this vital
question uniform legislation throughout
the land The one law which I should
like to see enacted would be one that
should be the same as that which is in
force in South Carolina, which forbids
divorces on any ground-a human law
which, / believe. is in accord with the
divine. and which I trust may ere long
be the canon law Of that branch of the
church TO which I have the privilege of
belonging
Il am thoroughly persuaded that any
other law leaves the door wide open for
such collision and general viciousness
as threaten the very foundations of hu-
man society"
