Strangers in Church.
BoStOn AdyertjSerO

~
Boston'S criticized churches do not
lack for reply. 1t may well be. said
that the stranger does not want to be
"welcomed' with outstretched arm and
hearty handclasp. 1t is d point of view
which will appeal to many folk-even
to many strangers" who have attend
ed service in BoSton's churches. The
question of what constitutes welcome
to the stranger is an open one. Not all
would put upon it the construction of
Miss Smith of Philadelphia. Welcome
does not necessarily imply an effusive
social greeting. 1t is to be supposed
that strangers in Boston churches (and
in churches of all cities) do not, COM
monty, attend service with the simple
and critical curiosity of this young
lady.
If one goes to a church service for
purposes of worship the handclasp in
the vcstibule or in the pew should be
and usually is of no mcmcnt. If one
goes for social enjoyment the hand
clasp is all that is necessary-the serV-
ice might be tedious and surely would
be superf1uouS.

The White Mountain Forests.

The fires which have been devasta-
ting the wooded sections of Cape Cod
and those in the White Mountain re-
gion are reminders to Maine that 1t has
been extremely fortunate in the matter
of forest fires this year. OF course it
is not too late yet for fires of great
destructiveness in the northern Maine
woods. but this section has been ia
vorad with more rain during the sum-
mer months than has fallen in other
parts of New England and moreover.
the efficient fire warden service which
has been established in the Maine
woods is to be given credit as a factor
in the case.
1t is a great pity that forest fire
should work such devastation in the
heart of the beautiful White Noun
tain region. For over two weeks the
fires have been raging on the slopes of
Mt Lafayette, Mt. Bond, Mt Garfield
and Mt Guyot, and now it is estimated
that over $4,000 acres have been swept
by the flames and the end is not yet in
sight. This is in the heart of the re-
gion whose forests are one of it's chief
sources of wealth and one of the lead
ing attractions which make it so popu-
of the White Mountain section which
Congress has been urged to take as a
national forest reserve in order that its
trees might be saved from the lumber
mon. The present fire is another ar
gument in favor of White Mountain
reservation in order that the forest
wealth which escapes the flames may
be preserved and that the national
government instead of the state OF
New Hamphire shall have control of
that region.
The rains of last Saturday and Sun
day put an end to the Cape Cod fires
but New Hampshire was less fOrtu-
nate. The surprising thing is the re-
port that only few men have been at
work trying to check these White
Mountain fires. Surely the state of
New Hampshire should realize that it
cannot afford to lose its forests.
Whether it is ignorance or Indifference
or poverty which prevents the state
from doing everything possible to pre-
serve the forests of the White Noun
tain region, there is in any case an
added argument in favor of the project
of national reservation to include
that section

The Deceased Wife's Sister.


AT last it is legal for an Englishman
to marry the sister of his dead wife.
From the point of view of most of us
a man has just as much right to marry
as he had to marry his wife in the
first place. But England has looked at
things differently, or at least the Eng
lish bishops have looked at things diff
ferentiy, and their influence in the
House of Lords has been great enough
so that FOR generations they have been
able to defeat the passage of q bill
legaliZing the marriage of a man with
his deceased wife's sister. The House
of Commons has repeatedly passed
such a hill only to have it fail. after
long and acrimonious debate, in the
other branch. This time, however, the
pressure was too great and the House
of Lords had to yield. the chief reason
being that it was a government meas
urc with the influence of the ministry
behind it. and not merely a bill pre-
sent2d by an individual member.
II is difficult for us in America to
understand the heat with which this
battle has been waged in England. 1t
all dates back to the times of Henry
VIII when that tickle monarch wanted
tt-if RI
marrying another. His ground was
that his marriage with Catherine had
of his brother The marriage of a
brothers widow is forbidden by the
ancient Lcvitical code and 50 Henry
proceeded to impose this code upon the
English ecclesiastical law. The mar
rage of a deceased wife's sister is for
lid len by the same Levitical code, and
so in their desire for historical consist
ency the authorities of the English
church nave chung to the view forced
upon it by Henry.
The ban Of such law has been the
cause Of domestic trouble for genera
tons. 1t has often figured in the
courts. and novels Of English life have
embodied it in their plots. In 1885 Lord
l.yndhursts act made valid all existing
marriages of this character but de-
Clared invalid all future ones. An i'm
possible situation gradually arose. for
none of the British colonies tolerated
this legislation. so that an Englishman
could go to a colony and marry his
dead wife's sister in conformity with
law and religion. Let him go nome
however. and his children were found
to be illegitimate. Nor could chliurei
by such marriages inherit property
The Lyndhurst law was changed finally
so that a marriage of this nature IN
colony would be valid in the United
Kingdom. but the effect of the chang'
was to provide way OF eNadiii'
| the English statute by pleasant trll
out of the country. 1t is estimated ina
for years as many az 1900 of thes
unions have annually been entered INT
in England. and that today there ar
about 5000 children whose Legitimate

legal prohibition against marrying tn
