the evils we deplore and to attain the
purer family and the better citizenship
which II was the aim of the recent divorce
congress to secure.
The following resolutions were recon-
mended for adoption:
Resolved, That the committee on mar
riage and divorce be continued to report
to the general assembly. of 1901
Resolved, That this general assembly re-
joioes in the greatly awakened interest
on the part of the churches and the public
in the important subject OF marriage and
divorce and heartily approves of the CAM

public opinion proposed by the interchureh

marriage relation, TO preserve the family
and to secure the highest welfare OF the
