"TO Love, Honor and Obey"
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-..-.~.-.-.-.-.-.~.
BY ALFRED SETON.

services which household attendants are paid to perform. The husband who should ask such service would be un- worthy the name of one, and ought to l.e disobeyed.
 Jbe truth is, that in the progress ot tue world, the advancement which at least in our own country, society has made. tne word to the marriage rites is utterly without meaning, and carries with it no weight of obligation. Love and Honor, on the other hand, are terms easily understood. No one can be in doubt as to what they signify. And, unlike obey" they call for the very fullest reciprocity on the part of the husbands, the very essence of the sentiments they define. When woman gives her love, love in an equal degree should be the return for it. And so of honor. But when we come to the third aggrayating injunction of obedi- ence, the compact is entirely one sided, and the equality and partnership that should obtain in the married state are torn up by the very roots. One third more is demanded on the part of the woman, and in yielding to it she accepts a master. But does she ever really yield to it? In other words is not the promise accompanied with a mental reservation that practically nullifes it?
 As a rule women obey their hus- bands, or to put it in another way, they manage to obtain consent of their husbands before doing anything in re- gard to which consent on his part should be an antecedent condition. But it is not the old VOW of obedience that impels them to this action. It is die tated by considerations altogether diff ferent. Some of them are based on worldly or prudential calculations on which the happiness and well being of both partners to the matrimonial con tract in a very great measure depend Pure sentiment, affection, are the basis of many more. It is needless to particulariZe each class Every think ing person can do 1t for himself, for they are of almost daily occurrence. They are the large anu little incidents that go in the aggregate to make up what is called life. In dealing with them as they arise, the obedience business" of so many months or so many years before plays a very minor part In fact it is never thought of in the overwhelming majority of cases. The two partners are, or should be, reasonable as well as reasoning beings and when the welfare of themselves and of those who may be dependent upon them are involved, the stronger reason, no matter from which side it comes, prevails. When 1t does not, the foundation of future disaster is laid. The logical deduction from all these considerations, from these facts that are in the experience of all, is that "obey" could be dropped from the marriage obligations without in the least imperilling it's binding force in either religious or any other point of view. The odious little word is a relic of feudalism.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1903-03-01

Centuries and centuries ago, when these words were incorporated into the marriage ceremony, it is very safe to assume that the woman was not con suited. The formula was prescribed in the morning of Christianity by pious old clerics, who, without doubt, con scientiously believed that to omit any one of them would mean the overthrow of tue religious, social and possibly the political fabric. At that period of oarkness the members of the female sex wore in a condition of bondage, were cbattels to be disposed of as best suited the interests of their parental or ether proprietors. And this relic of barbarism is yet very far from be- il totally eradicated, even among peo- pies with high pretensions to ciyiliza- ton. But that is another question. To attend tO our own affairs and not in- termeGdle with those of other nations in which we are not interested, except remotely, is not the enquiry, why not drop the "obey" from the marriage vow, a pertinent one?
 Religious conservatism of the more rigid type would probably be shocked a. such a revolutionary innovation; but looked at coldly and calmly the prclosition loses nearly all, if not all, the terrors coniured up by prejudice aud tradition with respect to 1t. In the first place, when young, a middle aged, or even an old woman, makes the VOW of obedience" to her future husband has the word she pronounces any real significance in her mind? What is the nature of it? Is 1t the blind obedience of an animal to its master that is implied? No one surely will E.aintain the affirmative in con troversy on that point. When con science commands that she will do one thing and her husband commands the reverse, what becomes of the pledge of submission? When the wife as she often, 1 might say generally, is intel lertually the superior in the matri- monial partnership, must she bend to the stupid dictation of her husband all through life? Is it possible to conceive of servitude more galling than this to a proud, sensitive human being? Answer probably will be made that when she consented to become a wife she shC uld have eliminated pride, and taken up the role of the meek and inwly, the relation of the old-time slave, not in theory, but In practice. That position is so absurd that 1t re- flutes itself In what then is the obedi- ence to consist? Surely it cannot be in the performance of those menial
