Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1906-11-10

The bishop of Birmingham's SER
mon was sundered by the whole
width OF human feeling from the
commonplace; II contained neither
optimism nor complacency. II was,
he himself said. the cry OF a perma-
nently troubled conscience. The
church OF England Is normally anxl-
Gus about It's health. but is not
easily moved TO a conviction OF sin.
The bishops. tone however. was that
OF n penltent. He took for his sub
Ject one OF those passages OF the
gospel which are commonly relegated
TO the class OF hard sayings. and are
then passed over with surprising
ease: How hardly shall they that
have riches enter into the kingdom
of heavenl" IL was bishops op-
pressed with fatar opulence. to the
parochial clergy encountered with
comfortable residences. and to the
merbers OF the house OF laymen
generally that he applied this hard
but very plain saying. The son OF
God chose for the condition OF his
incarnate life that OF the respectable
artisan; and that is precisely the
class with which the church Of Eng
land has least to do. When all ac-
count has been taken OF It's untlring
work for the poor. II remains rather
the church OF the rich; and so Il
fails TO appeal TO that class which
tho Lord himself made most promi-
nent, II moves In grooves which are
precisely those from which Chrlst
warned us on '''" What Is need
cd is the searching OF heart that
goes down TO the root OF evil. The
evils which affect the church will not
be cured by a faclle and growing
conformity TO current opinion,
whether orystallized IN representa-
tive church council or fluid In the
press. They will be cured by apply
ing Ia the problems OF contemporary
life the hard, uncompromising prln-
olples OF the gospel The (Londonl
Church Times.

Married womcn's Statue In England

Ninfricu Womcn's statue in England
The history OF the favored POSI-
tlon which married women occupy In
our legal system Is not without In
terest Until comparatively recent
times a married woman was consld-
cred In the eye OF the law as no
more capable of owning or dealing
with property than an infant or lun-
attic. All she possessed when she
married became her husbands. All
she acquired during her marriage
passed into his control and he had
the sole right OF dealing with H..
She could not make a valid contract.
She could not sue or be sued alone.
She was. In fact, legal nonetity. a
mere shadow OF her husbands per-
sonallty.
As the result OF series OF acts of
parliament, passed during the last
seventy years. married women have
gradually emerged from this post
tlon OF legal disability. Now a mar
ried woman may possess separate
property OF her own and deal with Il
quite Independently OF her husband.
She may make contracts. She may
sue and be sued In her own name.
In fact. she now enjoys all the
rights OF an unmarried woman.
But for some unaecountahle rea-
son the legislature. In conferring

The average man has a religion;
and we venture to say that In some
important respects his conception OF
the Christian religion more nearly
accords with that of the Master than
does the conceptln that has been
current in the church. The
church has been too apt to think
that Christ came to prepare men on
the earth for n celestial happiness
In heaven; II has been too apt to
preach n religion that prepared men
to die rather than n religion which
fitted them to live; II has too often
accepted dismal conditions In this
life as inevitable. and tried to con-
tent men with their present lot by
promising them better lot here

The average man can teach the

had made the usual inquiries as to
the lady's means, and receiving
satisfactorily information, allowed
her to have the goods on credit. On
that footing she dealt with the firm
and became a regular customer.
The articles which she ordered were
charged to her account. The bills
were sent in to her, and for a while
she paid regularly by her own
checks. Shortly afterward the lady's
husband, who had been living with
vast show Of wealth, was found to
be utterly insolvent. He absconded,
and the firm sued the lady for the
unpaid balance of her account. She
refused to pay on the pretext that
she had bought the dresses as her
husbands agent, and that she had
his authority to do SO. But the firm
knew nothing of this. The only in
dlcation they had received of her
having a husband at all was the
fact that she gave her married name
"a fact which. as was pointed out
by one OF the judges, was entirely
consistent with her being a widow.
The case went TO the house OF lords
and eventually 1t was held that the
lady was not legally liable.
A harder case is that of the trades
man who deals on credit with a lady
enjoying a substantial income, but
discovers. when he seeks to enforce
payment. that her income is sub
ject to restrain on anticipation. The
original idea of this restriction
seems to have been to protect mar
ried woman from the consequences
of her extravaganza and the danger
OF her denuding herself of her prop
erty under the influence OF her hus-
band. Take the following case for
the sake OF illustrations:
A lady with a settled income OF,
say $1,000 a year, subject to re-
straint on anticipation, buys goods
on credit for which she afterward
declines to pay. The tradesman sues
her. and as she has no defense, he
gets his judgment. But to his dis
may he finds the Judgment so franz
ed as to put beyond his grasp the
very means-viz., the lady's income
to which he had looked for the
discharge OF her debt. The lady may
have large credit balance at the
bank at very time when the judg- |
ment Is got against her, but the
court will not permit the creditor |
to touch a penny OF Il; much less |
will he be allowed to lay hands up
on subsequently accruing income. |
He Is In the tantllizing position of
seeing his lady debtor In possession |
OF ample means TO pay while he Is
utterly helpless to compel her to pay |
a farthing. On the other hand, II It |
be shown TO be clearly to the lady's |
that she should be allow /
ed to anticipate her income In spite |
of this restriction, she can apply to
the court and get the restriction re-
moved. But the court does not take
the view that the payment of her
Just debts is sufficiently to her ad-
vantage to Justify this procedure
