Ieve is forbidden by the laws of the church in which either party seeking to be married holds membership" Cases in which couples refused marriage In their own church have applied success fully to ministers of other churches have been scandalously frequent; and much will be gained by putting an end to this abuse.
 If divorce is in one aspect a social question. in another it is a moral ques- tion: and the root of the evil must be sought in low views of marriage and the sanctity Of the marriage VOW. Moreover. the case with which mar riages may be performed is another evil. It is for this reason that legislation might be directed to throwing safe guards about marriages quite as much as to imposing restrictions to di- vorce. Making marriage a civil con- tract. to be followed. if desired by the ecclesiastical ceremony, would doubt less be one of the most effective way of dealing with this matter. But this would imply q recognition of the social side of divorce: it would be an attempt No lIol6cl llle ldlnliN dS a SDcidi laclOi. The moral question belongs to the church. and it is here that due insist ence upon the sacramental view of ma trimony exercises q powerful deterring effect upon divorce. It was clearly the sense Of the New York conference that attempts to change the laws should be undertaken with great caution. It was pointed out that direct action by Con- gross would mean a constitutional amendment, and that the agitation for such an amendment, in the present con- dition of public opinion, would not be successful. And as the State laws on , divorce vary materially. the establish ment of an uniform system by means | of state action would result in lower ing of the standard in some cases. What. if any. success can attend an effort in this direetion,' it is said, twill depend materially upon the possibility that the churches represented shall agree upon uniform canon to apply to their church members and clergy" In l other wordes, the creation of public sentiment is better than the passage of laws; and in this work the church has an important art.-Providence Journal,

NORTHF1ELD ExTENsIoN MOVE
 MENT.

Rev. H. w. Pope, secretary of the Northfield extension movement, has just returned from southern trip of a month. He spent ten days at con vention in Atlanta giving Bible studies at pr. Len Broughton's church in con- nection with Rev c. Campbell Morgan, Dr. c. l. Scofeld. W. R. Moody Of Northfield and many others. This an-
 nual conference is one of the greatest religious gatherings of the south This church has membership of fifteen hun dred and has connected with it hos pital with a large corps of physicians and surgeons, nurses home and training school, home for working
 girls, and many features unusual for churches. The auditorium will seat three thousand people and yet hundreds
 were several times turned away from
 the doors. A collection of five thousand dollars was raised one Sunday to put a second gallery in the church and en- l large it's capacity for next years con- vention.
 1 From Atlanta MT. Pope went to Cres- cent City, Fla, to open another Bible iconference which was held this year for the first time, A wealthy Connecticut
 man who was present at Northfield last summer was so impressed with the 1 value of the conference and school work there that he determined to have | similar conference and possibly q school in Florida, where for twenty
 years or more he has spent his winters. | He has erected at his own expensAAan
 auditorium seating one thousand people, and an association has been formed
 called the Southfeld association for the
 continuance of the work. The idea is to hold similar meetings each year during the months of February and March,
 when guests from the north are present,
 who welcome such Bible. teaching as l they obtain at Northfield during the summer.
 MT Pope is home for a few days of
 rest, and then goes to Kansas City to
 speak for eight days in a convention
 composed of delegates from all the
 Methodist Home Missionary societies of
 ths south.

THE CHURCHES AND DIVORCE.

THE CHURCHES AND DIVORCE.
 4 conference on divorce, attended by delegates from various religious bodies,
 was held in New York on Wednesday, and the action there taken should have effective results. In addition to nine Protestant churches, the Anglican
 Church was actively represented, and
 Archbishop Farley wrote a letter to Bishop Doane expressing the sympathy of the Roman Church with the move ment. The need of agitation on this sub ject is obvious, and the views set forth
 by the conference seem 10 be in the main just and wise. The object was not so much to demand specific legisla-
 tion as to bring about an agreement on certain fundamental principles between the clergymen of different religious bod ies. One resolution, offered by Bishop
 Greer, was similar to that not long ago
 adopted by body of Rhode Island clergy. This resolution affirmed that l 'in recognition of the conity which should exist between Christian church.
 es it is desirable and would tend to in- crease the spirit of Christian unity for
 each church represented in the con- ference to advise and if ecclesiastical
 authority will allow, to enjoin it's ministers to refuse to unite in marriage any person or persons whose marriage i the ministers have good reason to be-

foreign born residents constitute 261 per cent Of

Of the prisoners arrested for all causes In view of
the fact that many foreigners offend against the

RosToN,s NEw ELEyATEp CARS.

Boston is about to adopt system Of cars on its
elevated road that promises to go great way to-
ward putting an end to jams ON elevated stations in
rush hours and that will make it next to impossible
for such accidents to occur as the one that took place
on the Sixth avenue elevated in this city few weeks
ago, by which young woman lost her life says the
New York Commercial.
On these the end platforms are to be abolished
altogether and instead of door at each end, there
are to be three doors on each side of the car in
the center to be used solely by passengers intending
TO get off and one next to either end of the cars to
be used solely by persons intending to get aboard
BY this arrangement passengers will be able to get
off without being compelled to fight their way
through crowd in the aisles and on the ear and
station platforms, and persons intending to get
aboard viii be able to do so without having to wait
for passengers to alight Neither stream of persons
win come in conflict with the other, andy no
means the smallest advantage of the scheme women
win not be compelled to push through crowd Of
men on the car platforms one of the most annoying
nusanees connected with the elevated system Of New
York city, especially when the no-smoking rule is
being Violated by them.
The arrangement is perfectly practicable and it is
safe to say that it win not be long before public
sentiment viii compel elevated lines everywhere to
follow Bostons example.

The Ledger heartily seconds the proposal that the
Washington delegation in congress should earnestly
cooperate with the Oregon members of the senate
and the house in protesting against the cutting
down to $4750OO of the appropriation for the Lewis
and Clark exposition, says the Tacoma Ledger. The
amount originally requested, something in the neigh
borhood of $2,OOOOOO was doubtless high, and the
senate cut the amount considerably, but not enough
to occasion any disappointment at Portland. But
the proposed reduction from 81, 100000 to $475000
will compel the abandonment of many plans which
if carried out, would add greatly to the usefulness
and attractions of the exposition OF course 475000
is substantial sum and not to be dispised, but it
does not appear to be unreasonable to call for more
and Washington is with Oregon in desiring to make
the exposition as great success as possible 1t is
to be hoped that the Washington senator's and rep
resentatives will render efficient assistance in the
matter. The Pacific northwest is a unit in Support
Of the Lewis and Clark exposition.
