evening, the object being to contrive
ways and means by which the res

seems that water consumers felt
dubious about getting any water

because no one appeared to know

CHURCHES CRY OUT
AGAINST DIVORCES
AN APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC

Fourteen Leading Denominations,

Philadelphia, May s.-The Inter
church Conference on Marriage and Di-
vorce, body representing officially
fourteen leading denominations, has
issued through it's secretary, the Rev
DIR. William R. H. Roberts. an appeal
to the public, calling attention to the
several aspects of the divorce question.
The paper is the beginning of a ma
tional- campaign of education on the
subject to be followed by efforts to Sc
cure the enactment of laws in the state
Legislatures, and ultimately. it is
thought, of an amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States.
Already action has been taken by the
conference looking toward the preven-
ton of the remarriage, by ministers
of other communions. of divorces
whom clergymen of their own faith
have refused to marry.
This movement is the first occasion
of any sort on which the representa-
tives of the great denominations have

to bear effectively upon ecclesiastical
and civil courts and Legislative bodies.
for the securing of better conditions
and for the deliverance of the church
and the state from Impending evils.
Before any civil legislation can be
enacted which will be operative. and
quite apart from the accord which we
are seeking to secure in the marriage
regulations of the Christian churches,
must come the leavening of the minds
of men and women which SHALL lift
them toward a recognition of the no.
blest dignities of life.
First of all. we plead for the cul-
tivation of the grace of purity; for the
careful guarding of children within the
atmosphere of home by parents, and
for the realization of the dignity of our
physical nature lifted TO such high
honor by the Incarnation.
For the Sanctity of Marriage.
1--WE plead for a recognition of the
sanctity of marriage. We are facing
a condition in our country to-day
which threatens danger to the most sa-
cred things. The very sanctuary of
human life and of human love is as
saulted and profaned. Manhood, wom-'
anhood and childhood. the home and
the family are involved; and neither
civil legislation nor ecclesiastical dis
cipline can save them, until and unless
the conscience of Christian humanity
is reached. Behind the monster of
polygamy, behind the spectre of the
lax divorce court, with its collusions.
its corruptions and its contagion
stands the sad fact of the low ideal of
marriage. 1t is true that the element
of mutual consent and the element of
legal contract enter into it; but under
meath and behind these, as the sure
foundation, stands the revelation of
Gods holy word. God at first brought
a woman to a man, one woman to one
man, to whom he shall cleave, so that
in Gods purpose and Gods sight they
are one flesh. The primal marriage
was followed by centuries of hardened
hearts and laws lowered or lost, until
at last Christianity was connected by
the voice of the Divine Law Giver with
the old law which He laid down at the
creation: Have ye not read that He
The Savannah morning news., 1904-05-09

which made them at the beginning
made them male and female, and said,
For this cause shall a man leave his
father and mother and cleave unto his
wife and they twain shall be one
fiesh.'"
Where Reform Must Begin.
Marriage is a holy thing. Marriage
is the institution Of God Himself and
is sanctified under the solemnities OF
the old sanction by our blessed Lord.
This is the root of the matter. Refor-
nation must begin here. Children must
be taught IL. Young men and young
women must be made TO feel 1t. Pro-
tected in purity, boy and girl, man and
woman alike, must be trained TO look
with reverent eyes upon the holiness
Of this estate; upon its mysteriousness
as something higher and deeper and
larger than can be measured or reach
ed by the low ideas Of convenience,
OF worldly advantage, of the gratifca-
ton of passion, or by the light and
easy estimate Of the consent Of the
passing personal fancy and the mutual
recognition Of the civil contract.
The hope Of curing and crushing
the horrible tendencies 70 facile and
frequent divorce rests. we believe, upon
impressing and intoxicating such an in
tense conviction Of what marriage Is,
and Of what marriage means, that IL

toned, the Russky Invalid, the army
organ, making this concession. The
remainder of the press is silent.
Only one afternoon paper referred to
the abandonment of Feng-Wang-
Cheng. Tucked away in a corner OF
that paper was a small item saying
that the post and telegraph offices at
that point were closed.
Where Gen. Kuropatkin's force is
now stationed has not been announc-
ed, though Gen. Zassalitch states that
the cavalry left for Schlindjane. There
continues to be the greatest ignorance
regarding the plans of the commander
in-chief, who is taking every precau-
ton to prevent information reaching
the enemy, the censor at Lao Yang
refusing to pass a single press dis
patch which in any way indicates the
Russian movements. Messages from
other points are strictly censored.
1t is believed that Gen. Kurok, in
stead of proceeding to Hai-Cheng, will
move northwest along the road to
| Liao-Yang. He will find the Rus
slams entrenched at Tien-Chori-Chan
pass west of Mao-Tien-Ling pass.
Reasoning an Advantage.
1t is pointed out that the abandon
ment of southern Manchuria will be
| beneficial to the Russians, as it will
| enable the complete concentration of
the forces, which have heretofore been
scattered in consequence of ignorant &c
as to what the enemy proposed to do.
Though the people are tried by the
general withdrawal, it is recalled that
Gen. Kuropatkin counselled patience
before he left st. Petersburg for Man
churia No word of criticism of his
conduct has been heard, every one rec
| ognizing that he knows all the condi-
tions and is better able to judge as TO
when he can safely offer battle to the
| enemy.
The gruesome figures in the Russian
losses on the Yalu, are higher than ha1
been reported by Maj. Gen. Kashtalin-
sky, who himself appears to have been
wounded by a flying stone.
| The list encloses an exact statement
of the forces under Zassalitch. Gen.
| Kuropatkin says the Japanese force
was f a. times greater than and far
superior in artillery to the Russian
| forces.
The casualties show that one-fifth of
Gen. Zassalitchs command was placed
out of action. The Eleventh and
| Twelfth regiments lost more than half
| their men in the fight. The third bat
| terry of the Third Artillery Brigade was
! almost annihilated losing eighty-eight
! in killed or wounded and seventy-two
out of 10 horses. The Third Battery
| of the Sixth Brigade lost twenty-four
killed or wounded and forty-one horses.

St. Petersburg, May 9, $3.50 A. M
Two official dispatches calculated to
increase the depression existing among
all circles in Russia were given out
last night.
From the point of view of the prog
ress of the campaign. the most import
ant is that regarding the capture by the
japanese without opposition of Feng

wounded and missing among the troops

Gen. Kuropatkin forwarded a mes
sage from Lieut.. Gen. Zassalitch. who
had been left in command of the column
retiring from Feng Wang Cheng, which
described the movements of the enemy
in connection with the occupation of
the town.
The information caused no surprise
to the officials, wha had already been
advised of the decision that no attempt
would be made to hold Feng Wang
Cheng, the superiority of the Japanese
in all fighting arms insuring a disaster
similar to that at Kiu-Lien- Cheng.
Therefore Gen. Zassalitch was given
strict orders that there should be no
fight of the rear guard.

The Japanese approached from two
directions along the main road and up

command the town. This procedure on
the part of Gen. Kuroki shows that the
entire Japanese plan of operation had
been thoughtfully prepared and that
every division commander knew ex-
actly what he should do.

On Thursday and Saturday of last

at Kinchau bay, 10000 at Foo Chau bay

town of Wa Fung Tien and Pu Ian

direction of Kai Chau, where japanese
troops have been seen recently.
