COMMITTEE Makes REPORT
Report Stamps Divorce as Species
ofSelfishness and Condemns
"Eree L0ver'' Who Seeks
Divorce to Remarry.

Chicago, Oct. 12,-After prolonged
dicussions lasting nearly a week The
report Of the committee on marriage
and divorce was presented at the last
moment at the closing session OF the
sixty-fourth Rock River conference
the Methodist Episcopal church at the
Evanston avenue church last night.
The report recommended long
courtship-long enough to test the
quality Of love. The Importance OF the
permanence Of the marriage tie was
emphasized as having a direct bearing
on human development The comittee
was unanimous in maintaining that a
marriage was contracted until death
doth part"
The bond was declared to be In
dossoluble and never to be entered into
irreverently or unadvisedly.
The principal contention that divide !
the committee was upon the question
of reconizing as q candidate for second
marriage the innocent party to a d.
vorce decree. The decision was al
compromise. A resolution was
adopted for the purpose OF prohibiting
the remarriage of the guilty matrimo-
nial party to divorce decree during
the lifetime Of the innocent party.
Stamping divorce as species of sell
fishness the report condemned the
free lover" who ninety nine times
but Of hundred seeks divorce that
he may have more marriage"
The proper conception of matrimony
was declared to be the basis of pure
md anticipatory life, as well as the
best detriment from evil.
The conference voted to Join with
,ther churches in an attempt to Sc
,ure the enactment of uniform divorce
avs in every state.
