- HE prevalence of divorces in the
i United States is a reproach alike
to the country and to the church, is
the declaration of DR.. Robert Stuart
Macarthur. The American republic
has a most unenviable prominence in
this regard. The detailed accounts OF
suits for divorce, as these suits are
pressed in the various courts, are dis
gusting in the extreme. They bring
reproach alike upon American men
and women in all parts of our country.
These facts are admitted and at the
same time are sadly regretted by our
best citizens and our most devoted
churchmen and churchwomen.
The causes for divorce are numer-
Gus. They are not limited in re.
sponsibility, either to men or to
women. It is not sufficient state
ment to say that the broader educa-
tion of women and their emancipa-
tion from the greater subsection Of
former years is the chief cause, as
Mrs. Anna Rogers says. The zen
and women who rush into the divorce
courts elicit our contempt for their
vulgarity and coarseness, not to use
even stronger terms. 1t is difficult so
to control ones moral indignation be-
cause of the vulgarity of these d.
vorce cases as to speak Of them with
the restraint becoming a newspaper
article. How men and women can
stoop to charge abominable crimes
against each other in order to secure
divorces makes one ashamed of his
race. Idleness, lack of spiritual occu-
patton and suggestion, and vulgar con-
formity to low ideals in life-these
are causes largely responsible for the
prevalence of divorce. Hasty mar
riage is also somewhat responsible.
Many men and women rush into mar
riage with less serious thoughfulness
than they would show regarding any
ordinary business transaction. The
clergy also are somewhat responsible
by the haste with which they of.
ficiate at marriages without knowing
the facts In the case of those who de-
sire to enter into this relationship.
Marriage must be made more hon
orable, its obligations must be lifted
to higher level. In a single word
the correction of the evils of divorce
as in the case of all other evils, must
in its finality, depend upon higher
spiritual ideals, nobler characters and
more religious conceptions of all the
duties and obligations of life in its
manifold relations. Uniform divorce
laws in the states would partially re
move the evils of divorce. There Is
no one specific cause-there is no one
specific cure. When men and women
realize their dignity ard glory as the
children of God and heirs of eternity
they will so order their lives that Ill
advised marriages will be rare. and
they will then so conduct themselves
in their married relations that di
vorces will be practically unknown.
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1907-12-13

THE reason for so many divorces is
i that women do not spend enough
time studying the characteristics Of
their intended husbands, according to
Mrs. Elizabeth Bacon Walling. 1t is
not caused by the fact that modern
machinery and inventions have taken
woman's domestic work from her,
thus leaving her with lots of time on
her hands to flirt and get into mis-
chief. The athletic girl is all right.
have nothing against her.
A young woman living in Nine
teenth street married man she had
only known three months. One day,
in looking from her front window, she
saw him sitting in back window of a
Twentieth street apartment, writing
letters and reading a newspaper COM
placently.
She asked him what he was doing
there, He replied he was visiting his
friend Johnson. Subsequently 1t de-
veloped that he had wife and family
there. Isn't this appalling?
The young woman came to me
heartbroken. What could do? When
people understand that marriage is a
sacrament as the church knows 1t to
be there will be fewer divorces. and
to a large extent there will be NO
marital unrest.

VXJHAT we need is doctrine of
w marriage. There is no clear
cut doctrine of marriage. The church
is tied up to the ethics Of 1000 years
ago, the oriental fantasies of Paul.
"The old idea of marriage was in
culcated and secured through two
fundamental inciples-reverence to
parents and the understanding that
marriage was to be permanent. These
principles are both imperiled," is the
idea of DR.. Felix Adler.
Under present conditions they are
no longer tenable, for the first was
founded on the idea that the child had
no rights except through its parents
It's position was one of the sub
servience, of unquestioned obedience
to the parents, and as regards the per-
manence of the marriage tie, it was
chiefly bond that tied the woman to
the man. Her position was one Of
subordination.
To-day we admit that the child has
rights which we are bound to respect
and that the woman is the equal Of
IuS HAIL.
"One trouble with modern marriage
is that the masculine element pre-
dominates In the ceremonial. This
should not be so. The great trouble
is that people who marry nowadays
look in marriage only for happiness.
Happiness is not the end of marriage,
as most people think, but only an in.
cident of married life. They are
bound to find many trials. They should
respect the etchical ideals; their great
responsibility is to future generations,
the good of the race!
Under the multiplication of di
vorces in this country the issue is
whether the sensuous nature of the
marriage contract is to prevail OF
whether the spiritual is to predom
mate. l believe in separation, but
never in divorce"
