r States. 1t seems as if the power oi
coming to the rescue of the country
has been transferred from the church
to society.
THE responsibilities OF the rich and
the educated upper classes cannot
therefore be too much insisted upon.
This water runs down hill by its own
weight, so the breaking of the divine
law among the four hundred will
soon reach the millions. spreading
from the classes to the masses.
The religious penalty seems not to
have the power OF restraining divorce
There remains now the question OF So
cial ostracism
The worst cases in the world are
in Newport. If people in high life
frown upon divorce and make 1t a So
cial reproach, those who fear such CEN
sure would be less liable to kick over
he traces. Let society men and
women subject the remarked divorced
people to social ostracism, and an al
most universal alienation of this
,urse would be secured"
