mixed marriages? Which day OF the
week is the child to keep as the day
of rest? Is the child on the Sabbath
to follow the father into the syna-
gogue and then hear it proclaimed,
"Thou shalt have no other gods be-
side me-" and on the following day to
accompany the mother to church and
there offer up prayer in the name OF
the Trinity, and invoke the interces-
sion of a Savior? The obvious and in
evitable issue will be, whatever the
agreement originally made, that the
children as they grow up will adopt
the faith of the majority, and that
the family will be altogether lost to
Judaism.

daughter of Israel marries an idOla-

she IS thy companion and the wife OF
thy ivenant."-Malachi. H., part 14th
verse.
Each book, nay, each section of the
Bible, is charged with its own solemn
message. One of the primary teach
ings which pervades the first book of
the Torah, the reading of which we
shall shortly re-cOmmence, is
THE sANCTITY OF THE MARRIAGE TIE.
This was the first moral lesson
which God was pleased to teach man
kind. He is revealed to us as the first
Maker of marriages. "lle brought
Eve unto ADAM and thus taught
Adams descendants that the tie
which unites husband and wife is even
closer than that which knits the child
to his parent. therefore shall
man leave his father and his mother,
and shall become attached to his wife,
and they shall be one'-united in
that p. rfcct fellowship which springs
from true sympathy, from absolute
identity of interests, from communion
between soul and soul. The poet
claims that man and wife should con-
stitute
Two souls with but a single thought.
Two hearts that beat as one.
This is, in most instances. an unat-
tainable and perhaps not even Il de-
sirable ideal. But it must be ad-
mitted that the union of hearts.
which is the sole foundation of happy
welded life, cannot exist unless there
be entire harmony not rsrely of tastes
and dispositions, hrt what is OF in
finitcly greater.shoment,
AN IpEcTITy OF RELIGIOUS FAITH,
unless husband and wife acknowledge
beliefs as to the supremest concerns OF
life. The wife must be not merely
"thy companion" but also 1.-THE wife
of thy covenant" bound to her h,is-
band by the same religious faith.
Hence it was that our patriarch,
Abraham, was SO scrupulous in i'm
pressing upon the faithful steward OF
his house that he should not select as
IA wife for his son daughter OF the
Canaanites, but that he should go to
his OWE country and his own kindred,
where the one true God was acknowl-
edged and worshipped, so that Isaac
might obtain "A wife worthy of his re-
gard and affection by aiding him to
preserve purity of faith and purity
of life. Hence our law is SO insistent
in teaching the religious duty not to
intermarry with the daughters OF an
idolatrous race "Neither shalt thou
make marriages with them; thy
daughter shalt thou not give to his
son. nor his daughter shalt thou take
unto thy son." And the reason for
this prohibition is very precisely in
dicatcd in the following verse: For
they will turn away thy son from fol-
lowing me. that they may serve other
GODS And not content with these
general in.unctions, the Bible shows
very clearly in it's historical portions
the evils likely to spring from unions
in which the parties are not linked to-
gether by the bond of a common faith.

conjugal unhappiness and disaster.

A KANSAS SOLOMON.

There is a growing tendency over
the country. by those in judicial posi-
tfons, to do away with the infiictiOn
OF actual penalties for crimes com
mitted, when the ofense is less than
a felony, and to substitute instead the
custom OF parole and the furnishing
Of bond for good behavior. Judge
Ben Lindsey Of Denver, and the late
Judge WofOrd OF Kansas City are no
table examples in employing the pa
role for youthful offenders against the
law In 1903 the Kansas legislature
amended the criminal law OF the state
BY creating a prison board or board OF
pardOns for the purpose OF putting
the parole into more common prac-
tee The way the law now stands.
persons convicted OF certain classes OF
fslOnies, are not sentenced to a Ger
tain term OF years between the maxi
mum and minimum, but are given an
indeterminate sentence. After the
minimum time has been served, the
prisoner may apply to the prison
board for a parole or conditional re-
lease, and in very many Instances
such applications are granted.
This shows what Kansas is doing
to help cOnvicts to make OF them
selves responsible citizens and useful
members OF society. The more latf-
tude that is given judges. the more
opportunity win there be TO reclaim
persons who have offended against
the criminal law. BY giving them con
ditionaI liberty. Thus they are put
