JEWS ARE PRAISED.
Episcopal Bishop Lauds Them on
Their Stand Against Divorce.


|. Washington, April 20.-"The Jews
are preserving the home and family
better than we Christians are doing
do not know how to account for this
but do know it to be a fact"
Bishop Satterlee of the Episcopal
church made this declaration in a ser
mon here Sunday night, in which the
subject of his discourse was divorce
The men, said the bishop, are losing
respect for the home and caring less
for the family, the unit of our civil.
cation.
On the shoulders of the husbands
and fathers of the land, he continued,
rests the responsibility for the low
state to which the family has fallen
in this country. Man fosters and en-
courages the greatest curse of the age
the divorce and that loose manner
in which the sacred vows are being
kept.
The dread evil-the most frightful
danger-of our age is divorce and the
breaking down of the family institu-
tion," said the bishop. 'If it is not
stopped the women of this country and
our race will be degraded within so
years."
