do not know how to account for this
but I do know it to be fact" Bishop
Satterlee, of the Episcopal church,
made this declaration in a sermon
here last night, in which the main
subject of his discourse was divorce.
Men, said the bishop, are losing re
spect for the home and caring less for
the family, the unit of our civilization.
On the shoulders of the husbands and
fathers of the land, he continued,
rests the responsibility for the low
estate to which the family has fallen
in this country. This fostered and en-
couraged the greatest curse of the age
divorce and the loose manner in
which the sacred marriage VOWS
were being kept.
"The great evil-the most frightful
danger-of our age is divorce and the
breaking down of the family institu-
ton" said the biship. "If it is not
stopped, the women of this country
and our race will be degraded within
so years."
