Is it an error. after all, to say that
the United States are the spendthrift
nation of the world? Statistics gath
cred by the Department of Commerce
and Labor, show that while the United
States have only 91s per cent. of the
population of the world, the savings
banks figures show that the people Of
the United States contribute over 20
per cent. of the total of the savings
deposits of the world. The total saw
ings deposits and the average amount
per depositor are much larger in the
United States than any other country.

BUSINESS ABILITY IN THE PULPIT.
From the Ohio State journal

from the OHIO state Journal.
A magazine writer says the
church is in crying need of business
clergymen." He explains that congre-
cations of which he knows have
grown from almost nothing to great
size because of the business ability of
the pastors chosen to lead them. He
thinks the influence Of the church will
wane and dwindle unless men fitted
to deal with administrative and finan-
cial problems enter the ministry in
large numbers. We do not remember
ever having seen the commercial trend
of the present age better illustrated
than in this article. Probably the
writer would consider a great poet,
great scholar, or a great statesman
failure unless his success were attest
ed by the number Of his disciples or
the size Of his bank account. Business
ability is a good thing to have, what
ever ones calling, but the need Of the
church is more true spirituality in its
leadership

Mrs. William Palmer Armstrong Of
Chicago, aged 10, a bride of less than
a year. She is suing for legal separa-
ton from her husband, and she ought
to have it. She says on oath that she
married for love. but instead Of
kisses and affection she was given
steady diet Of history, dictionaries and
poetry books. Her husband told her
that 1t was his purpose to Improve
her mind and prepare her for the
higher life" of which she knew moth
ing and cared less. When she wanted
him to hug her, he would recommend
that she memorize one of Browning's
poems; when she wanted kiss he
would tell her to learn a page of
polysyllables in a spelling book. The
young wife ardently desired to be
petted on her husbands knee, and he
ordered her to merhorize Longfenow's
"Evangeline." Then he began to
give out words for her to spell, pro-
nounce and define, and she grew indig-
nant and kicked. A quarrel followed,
and next the separation proceedings.

TRUE LOVE THE ONLY SOLUTION
OF THE GREAT DIVORCE PROBLEM
BY DOROTHY FENIMORE.

TINE crusade against divorce which
the Methodist and Episcopal
L clergy have proposed is not
movement peculiar to our times. AS
long ago as the reign of Edward VI
the English churchmen were similarly
reused to holy zeal in wedlock's cause.
The problem existed long before that
day. 1t is probably as old as marriage
laws.
Marriage is never an answer; it is
always a question:" observes Fantana
lightly in the musical comedy of the
same name which is now regaling the
Chicago public. In real life it is what
Agnes Reppelier defined it in an essay
recently published, a problem which
presents the contrast of manhood and
womanhood, of human creatures whose
hearts and tastes and instincts are rad
ically unlike, who differ in all essen
tials from the foundations of their be-
ing"
Divorce is an answer to the mat
rimonial question which appears, from
statistics and the daily press, to be
gaining in popularity. I believe with
all my heart that sometimes it is a
good answer, the only answer. When
ever, from the conditions Of the family
life, the welfare of the coming genera
tion is jeopardized, divorce is ethical;
unfortunate it still is, but it is neces-
sary evil. No woman, for example, has
a right to give to children an inheri-
tance Of drunkenness, disease or imbe-
cility.
Divorce sought for purely selfish mo-
tives, however, cannot be anything
but a degradation to the individual
who seeks 1t, and to the society which
lends 1t countenance. The trouble is
not 80 much with the divorce laws; any
law which protects the weak, the help
less, and the dependent members Of a
community is good law. 1t is the ap-
plication Of the laws which Is at fault.
The San Francisco call., 1904-11-25

Judges do not always use sufficient dis
cretion in the exercise Of judicial
power.
The idea of the sanctity Of the mar
ried relation has come to be held so
lightly both here and abroad that peo-
pie in general are amused instead of
shocked by a suggestion like that satir-
ical one of Meredith's, that marriage be
limited to a definite term. distin-
guished cartoonist Of our city put the
real situation in nutshell by pointing
the questions: To whom under such a
regime would belong the responsibility
of the children-and what would be-
come ultimately Of discarded wives
who were unable to make new marital
contracts because youth and beauty
had faded? 1t is to the interest of
women and children that marriage be
upheld as a sacred institution, not to
be profaned or violated
Love is the only key to this great
matrimonial puzzle Of our own and
preceding centuries. By love 1 do not
mean that blatant folly which leads a
man to proclaim loudly that he is ready
to die for the object Of his passion or
that weakness Of head and heart which
permits woman to hold her honor
cheap.
/ mean the steadfast affection which
makes a man or a woman willing to
love and love, to do the right thing and
to suffer, If need be-the kind of love to
which George Eliot referred when she
said: 'It is not true that love makes
all things easy-it makes Us choose
what Is difficult"
People should not expect the impos-
sible of marriage. A marriage license
is not magic talisman- A clerical
benedictton is not the presto change!"
of magician. Neither has power to
work a miracle. Nor can both together
by single stroke weld into one human
instrument two natures absolutely diff
ferent in kind. Only a real and endur-
ing love can work the charm.

SIT STILL CLUB.

The Sit Still Club has Just been
organized at Lincoln Neb., by we'll
known business and professional men,
The object of the club is the improve
ment of street car facilities.
The members say that the street
car company is not operating enough
cars and they propose to compel an
improvement in the service by declin-
ing to surrender their sets to women
when the cars are crowded. They
maintain that the company will never
improve the service until women agi-
tate the question and demand an i'm
provement, and they believe that
women will take vigorous action when
they find that men will not surrender
their seats to them.
