or wife, if such obstinately anc
utterl y refuse all cohabitation &
brother or sister, Christian man
Or woman is not under bondage
to any particular law, so as tc
be prevented from from remar-
rying."
In Myers Commentary on the
New Testament, one of the
most popular commentaries now
known, in his note on LIST Cor,
7-15. says: "a believer in such
circumstances is not enslaved,
nay, surely it is in peace that
God has called US, so that this
our calling forbid such a living
together as would be unpcace-
). full through constraint; is not
enslaved 50 namely as still to
remain bound in marriage to
such a separation" The express
ion brings out the unworthy
character of such a relationship.
Our text gives no express infor-
formation upon the point, is to
whether Paul would allow the
4 Christian partner i'm such a
union to marry again. 1t may
be inferred, however, that as in
Paul's view, mixed marriages
did not come under Christs pro-
hlbition of divorce, so neither
would he have applied the pro-
hibition of remarriages in Mat:
5:32, to the case of such unions.
Christ himself took no account
of mixed marriages, nor would
verse IL, which does not refer
to marriages of that kind, be at
varience with the remarriage of
believing partners. From the
statements of such eminent
menand Bible scholars, to which
we referred, and of which we
could add more, such as Mathew
Henry, De Wette, and number
of others, it seems clear that
LIST Cor. 7:15 justified the re-
marriage of Christian partners,
Who have been deserted, beyond
the hope of restoration. 1t is in
harmony with the laws of God
and reason, that a husband or
wifeWho wilfully deserted their
partners and family, do in COM
mlttlng that sin, make them
selves worse than an infd or
an unbeliever. First Tim. 5::8
and the desisted party should
not by any law Of justice or hu-
manity be subjected to such an
unholy bond of separation.
We now invite your attention
to the 27 and % verses of the
z chapter lst Cor, which reads
thus: Cart thou bound unto a
wife, seek not to be loosed; art
thou loose from awife, seek not
a wife, but and if thou marry,
thou hast not sinned." This text
is in close relation to verse Is, |
which treats in part of the an
nulling of the marriage tie,
while this of liberty granted
to all parties to marry /
who are living in a sim
gle state. Right on this point,
| am frank to admit that COM
entators do not all agree, some
affirming that it has reference,
to single parties who have not
been married While others think
that it refers to all who are
free from the marriage tie,
wether divorced or otherwise,
which latter thery | believe to
be correct.
But while our commentaries
disagree, we are not in the
dark; our Greek lexicons are
united. We now ask your
prayerful consideration of some
of their testimonies. J. H.
Greek English lexicon
of the New Testament in a
note on the sentence, cart thou
loosed from a wife, says "a

Obituary..

Died, at his residence in Mis-
souri, Valley, Iowa, Tuesday,
January 10, 1905, at HAS a. M,
MIR. F. X. Tamisica, aged II
years, 4 months aud IA days.
Funeral services were held at
St. Patrick's church and the
remains inferred in Mt. Carmel
cemetery January II, 1905.
T. X. Tamisiea was born at
Oswego, Oswego county, N. Y,
August 25, 1888, of French par
entage, both of his paren is
having been born in France
and came to New York in 1927.
z. <. Tamlsiea grew UP to man
hood in the state of New York
and came to Dubuque, Ia, with
his parents in 1854, and there
married Miss Susan Goodman.
He later came to Pottawattamie
county, thence to Harrison
county on his farm a few miles
southeast of this city, where
he lived the most of his life,
except the last twelve years
that he resided in Missouri Wall
ley.
He leaves a wife and eight
children, all grown up to man
hood and womanhood, tour boys
and four girls. The boys are
Attorney Frank Tanlisiea, DR..

and X Y. Tamisiea, all of this
city. The girls are Mrs. Mary
Murray, Sue 7. Faith of Mo-
dale, and Anna and Hattie of
this place, Maria Tamisiea hav
ing died in 1898.
F. X. Tamisiea came to Iowa
when this state was vast will
derness covered with wild
flowers and green grass. He
saw By the sturdy stroke of
the hardy pioneer this vas t
wilderness bloom into wealth,
saw it covered by happy homes
and prosperous farms, saw the
gradual change from the OK
team to the automobile, the
tallow dip to the electric light.
Roll back the curtain of time
for nearly three quarters of a
century and note the human
progress that has been made
during this sturdy pioneers
life. He has dropped by the
wayside of this active life as
the wheels Of time turn ever
onward, and his early comrades
have nearly all gon, before
him. In the near future they
will all be called to their home.

this same Greek word lusis fol
loosed, renders thus, deliver
ing from marriage bonds.
James Strong in his exhaustive
concordance OF the Bible, rem
ders this same lusis, thus, "a
looslng that is, specially, di.
vorce.' Thomas Green in his
Greek English lexicon of the
New Testament, on this same
lusls renders thus, "a loosing;
in New TestaT ent, a release
from the marriage bond, a di-
vorce. Cor. 7-27. From the
foregoing renderings, who can
doubt for a moment that de-
sertion, beyond hope Of restora-
ton, is a just and Scriptural
ground for divorce, and that
the party thus divorced has a
right to remarry if they so de-
sire. On this truth am so
thoroughly convinced that |
challenge its reeutation. Just
Why Bible readers have over
looked the fact that desartion.
beyond hope of restoration is a
Scriptural cause for divorce and
remarriage, is hard to solve.
1t occurs just as often in the
New Testament as that of for
nication, that of fornication
occurring twice, Matt. 5:32 and
1879; that of desertion twice,
| Cor. 7:15 and 27. The former
under the law of Moses, the
latter under the law of Christ,
some q years after the former.
Christ gave two classes of
teaching on separating, the
first in Matt. 5::32 and 1879 in
A. D. 80, which reads thus:
"Whosoever shall put away his
wife, except it be for fornica-
tion and shall marry another,
committeth adultery" The
latter in Mrrk 1O:11 and Luke
1918 in A. d. SO, which reads
thus: "Whosoever putteth
away2his wife and marrieth an
other committeth adultery"
The reader will see that forni-
cation is not mentioned in the
latter class. This is significant
that Paul in allusion to Christ's
teaching on this subject always
referred to the latter class.
Fornlcation in the time of
Christ was a sin, punishable by
death. The partner put away
for this sin, unless put away
privily, died, Matt. 1:19, ana
death in reality was the cause
of separation. Just what Christ
would have taught, had the
death penalty not existed would
be mere conjecture. One thing
is clear, however, that no
apostle or New Testament writ
er, after the decension of the
Holy Spirit, ever referred to
fornication as a cause of di-
From the foregoing
conclusions, we are in possess
sion OF the truth, that the laws
OF our own beloved state of
Iowa, granting divorce on the
ground of desertion, is not only
legal but Scriptural, for it's pro-
visions are such that no party
can be divorced for this cause
until they have been separated
two or more years, deeming
that period of time as sufficient
proof that all hope of the re-
storation of the desisting party
is gone. And even then, not
till they are able to prove in
court that they have done all
that could be reasonably ex-
pected of them to restore their
companion, are they entitled to
divorce. 1t seems evident
,hat the laws of our state on
his subject are based on the
aw laid down by the great
and it should be a
warming to all who murmur at
he DEGREES Of our courts that

The only scriptural ground 70
renarriage while the formel
partner is living.
The right te remarry while
the former partner is living, de
pend; ON the cause which led t.
the separation. If persistent
desertion, or fornication on
the part Of the former com.
panion, be the cause of separa
tion, then the deserted party
has the right to a divorce anc
remarriage. But in all cases OF
this kind, they must be deter
mined by the courts of our land
as they have jurisdiction over
such matters. In al! such cases
cj separation, it is not possible
for outside parties to know
whether one or both of these
causes did, or did not exist, and
no one is warranted in passing
judgment in eases they know
nothing about. Until one can
affirm definitely that none of
the causes did exist, they have
no right to judge. The facts in
such cases prove clearly that
the Lord never intended that
they should be made a test of
Christian fellowship for the rea-
son our churches not having jur-
isdlction over such matters,
and not being able to bind par
ties under oath, and for want of
this power, are not able to ascer-
tain the facts in the case, can
not be a competent judge in
such cases; and as long as such
questions remain under the iur-
isdlction of our State laws, our
courts being the only tribunal
to decide all such cases. To be
true to our religion and country,
we shonld carefully submit to
the powers that be, Rom 12:1.
The popular sentiment i'm por-
tlons of our country is to the eff
feet that fornication is a Just
and only scriptural cause for di-
vorce;; granting the inocent par
ty the right of divorce and re-
marriage. But this cannot be
true for two reasons. First, the
law of forgiveness and restora-
ton, as taught by Christ and
his Apostles is SO complete that
no one could be justified in put
ting away their companion for
the cause of fornication, deser-
ton, or any other sin, as long as
there ishope of this restoration;
and, second, it is not true that
fornication is the only scriptu-
raj cause for divorce and renar-
lage, and to prove this asser-
tlon true, | ask your attention
to what has been said by the
Apostle Paul, on this subject.
In Cor. z Chap l2 verse: after
he had in 10 and II verses
taught them what Christ com
his disciples, Mark, 10
II, Luke 1918, adds: "to the
rest, | command, not the Lord" !"
and under this new instruction.
in verse Is, says: "If the unbe-
lieving depart, let him depart, a
brother or sister is not under
bondage in such cases, not un-
der bondage; that is not en-
not imprisoned, that
is, not confined so as still to
be bound by the marriage tie.
That is, the marriage COW
enant is broken, and the believ-
er is to the deserter as though
they had never been married, |
and this view is taken by many
others, some of whom we will
now mention. Alexander Camp
oell, in note on this verse says
'The marriage covenant is bro
Ken, and the believing party is
free, and it seems to me that
hat in all cases of voluntary

DAYTON TO HAVE RACING Matinee
WaIla WalIa Horses Will Compete for
Prizes to Be Offered.

Arrangements have been practic-
ally completed by the Dayton Track
association for holding racing matt
nee early in June. A meeting was
neld Thursday night when commit
tees were appointed on arrangements.
Among the committees appointed was
one to confer with Walla Walla horse
men with a view of interesting local
owners of fast horses in the meet. AS
the Walla Walla County Fair asso-
citation has abandoned their annual
spring race meet, it is quite likely
that a number of Walla Walla horses
will be sent to Dayton to compete for
a number of purses the Dayton asso-
citation will hang. The committee ap-
pointed consists of J. M. Dunlap, Will
liam Barr and A. H. Boyer and the
gentlemen will arrive in the city within
a few days.

WHEAT PRICE DECLINES
WaIIa Walla Wheat Sold Below Market
in Liverpool.

One cargo of Walla Walla wheat
sold at 31s Sd at Liverpool Wednesday,
according to intelligence received by
cable from there The market quota
lions for California and Walla Walla,
prompt, was SIS 3D. This is the lowest
notch of the season. The highest paid
since July 1, 1904, was Sc shillings, and
the record sale was made in 1892 at 46
snillings, says the Portland Telegram.
Grainmen attribute the present low
prices to the enormous shipments being
made from both Russia and Argentina
which have weakened the Liverpool
market. 1t has been the contention
almost since the opening of the cereal
year that it was impossible for BUSH
ness to be done at profit on the rela-
tive prices of wheat and rates asked
by the shipowners for tonnage, and
that serves as one of the reasons why
the expectation of wheat to the United
Kingdom was not heavier, though prin-
cipally the cause grew out of the fact
growers were offered prices by east
ern buyers that met with their ap-
prevail.
