APPLAUDS PRESIDENT
REV. A. P. DOYLE ON DIVORCE
AND RACE SUICIDE.

lecture on divorce was delivered at S.
Paul's Church last evening by Rev A +.
Dovle rector of the Apostolic Mission
House. at the Catholic University of Amer
lea. Father Doyle is regarded as one OF
the ablest Paulst preachers of the country
In the course of his address he made the
following reference to President RooseVelts
recent sueech before the mothers congress
in this city,
1.-The President has never uttered stronger
or more significant sentiments than those he
voiced last night at the mothers congress.
Much of the trouble nowadays arising from
divorce and race suicide comes from the
prevailing distorted type of gentlewoman.
There is something wrong in the soclai
training that produces such a type her
ideals are entirely paganistic She Is SAID
not To he mere woman, and therefore she is
unwilling to put up with the sacrihces and
confinements of the home, and as a con-
sennance she refuses the burdens of mother
hood and when the ardor of the passion
masqueradng under the divine name OF
love burns out some other stimulus must
he found in another environment. Ene ex-
on,;site feminine is not a healthy mans
wholesome ideal. The woman with fully
developed vanity and with an embryo heart,
the couuette who is triffer with humani-
ties and an evader of lifes realities; the
human butterfly who must live on honey
and disport only in lifes sunshine and who
has no taste for suffering and the quiet re-
tirement of the home life; the spendthrift,
whose chief use for a partner in marriage
is that of bank on which she has an I'M
limited letter of credit. This is not the
woman stuff of which wives and mothers
are made Their conception of marriage is
but new ring for their finger or new in
cense for their vanity.
Marriage is a divine reality-the most
solemn fact in life-not to be entered into
as a whim, nor to be contracted under the
influence of a passing passion.
1.-The one urgent reform that is needed to
give every other reform efficacy and
strength is the restoring of Christian NOR
atty to the family life of the nation for no
other reason than that the family is the
unit of society; while society is but fed
GRAFTON of families. Christian morality in
sists on three things as fundamental prin-
ciples of the family life-first, the unity of
one man and woman. America can never
tolerate polygamy under any disguise. Sec
ond, the indissolubility of the two in one
flesh. Prevailing divorce customs have al
ready become whitening scourge. Third
the divine guarantee of the contract"
