THE ETHICAL IDEA OF MARRIAGE
AND MODERN DIVORCE.

ing danger threatens society. Under
the law man can in turn debauch and
ruin the lives of many women (as IN
a case l have in mind Of four women)

of constant drudgery, or to throw the
children burden upon society at large.
could give a score of such instances
from my personal observation.
Again illustrating another phase of
the evil. When those who are divorced
have children, the evil wrought is often
pitiful- In many cases I have been en-
abled to watch the children for years.
In two cases young boys of we'll to do
parents, having been deprived of the
care of one of their parents by divorce,
have been committed to reform schools.
In one case the parents had been ma
ried twenty-five years before a quar-
rel occurred and outside parties urged
a divorce. In this same case, daugh-
ters separated from their mothers, at
the very age when they are most need
ed, had their lives embIttered, and
where 1 was called to unite one of them
in marriage to a naval officer the
mother, though living in the same town
could not be present at the ceremony.
1 have known the inside history of
many of these family disasters, in every
case suffering, shame, and sorrow, have
ensued. My contention is this: The
parties concerned, men and women and
children have suffered far more, and
society has suffered far more than
they would if the law had not permit
ted divorce at all. Easy divorce laws
tend to prevent reconciliation, and it
has come to the pass, that have heard
young women say, as 1 spoke to them
of their intended marriage: well, if I
find we don't get along, 1 shall get
divorce"
If it were possible to relate circum-
stances known to me. 1 could tell of
things so shameful. indecent, vile, so
full of suffering. all the direct result
of divorce and remarriage, that nothing
which 1 ever read in relation TO poly
gamy, could surpass its degrading re-
suits on men, women and children.
The people of the United States need
to understand that the laws of most of
the States treat marriage not as a real.

tory: '"They marry and divorce, break
marriages and marry again without a
touch of jealousy on the mans part, or
modesty on the woman's!"
1t is no wonder then that apart from
any dispute as to what the words mean
by which Christians certainly must be
bound. that men of all kinds see that
the laws must at least be changed so
that the family shall have some pro-
lection.
A lawyer of wide experience told me
that he did not believe in divorce and
remarriage under any circumstances,
because he believed that greater misery
came to a greater number by its taking
place, than would have been the result
of its impossibiIity under the law, and
this judging only from effect on in
dividuals and apart from the evil eff
fects on society and the State. Many
are coming TO a like conclusion.
This seems clear to those who are
deeply interested on the subject, there
is greater need that men and women
of high ideals shall stand together for
the protection of the family and so for
the welfare of society, the State, and
the race. That they shall in no way
seem TO countenance law and practice
which substitute the idea of consecu-
tive polygany for the true ethical idea
or marriage That they shall do their
part to uphold the ethical idea of man
and wife as against the idea of tenn
porary connection like that of the
Poman Concubinatus. That they shall
stand for thelidea of the Christian mar
r1age, one man and one woman with life
long obligations. With this only is the
family and the State safe

'Ci4O WHICH VIII ne u INTEREST
THE BACKWARD CANADIANS
1T is annoying to hear these Cana
dams boasting about the achievements
OF their ridiculous little country. Do
they know that in the year 1901 there
were only 322 divorced women in all
Canada, against LOSE in the single State
Of Rhode Island, the year before. and
2,O61 in this city? We could fill the
Metropolitan Opera House with di-
vorcees. In the whole province of On
tario, with over 100000 inhabitants,
only forty-eight divorces have been
granted in thirty years and some years
there are none. You can not get a
divorce there without an act of Par
lament. Yet Canada pretends to COM
pare herself with the United States,
which had 1896 divorced women and
$4,000 divorced men in 1900. including
thirty divorced girls under fifteen years
old and 2,427 more under nineteen"
