sponsibiIity of Marriage Referred
To.
Rev. Father w. X RYAN. Of Salt
Lake, was in Ogden Sunday. a visitor.
and read the last mass at the
church, after which ne preached
| the sermon. Father Ryan is one of
| those priests who never write their
sermons, but speak them out from the
heart, and Sunday he was most clo-
quent in his expounding of the parti u
| lar doctrine he put forth. Nor was it
Il new subject but one that should be
more frequently heard from the pulpit.
Broadly. his subject was Marriage,
Its Sanctity and Dignity, and the Re
spCnsibilities Which Attach to That
Relation
Many people. in fact. a great proper
ton, fail to consider the responsible
tics of marriage when they enter into
it. MatrimOny is a great and grand
relation. 1t is the bond under which
posterity is brought into this life, and
before the covenants of matrimOny are
entered into the contracting parties
should have acquired a sense of the
responsibility of the relation they are
about to assume.
But many people enter the relation
without a. sense of the civil, moral Or
religious responsibilities imposed. The
majority of such marriages give the
divorce courts much to do, because the
people making such alliances are usu-
ally of the class where the moral
! training of the children has not been
thorough. Take care of The mental
training of the child: see 10 its moral
and religious training. ANA there will
be no rebellion in juveniles against the
| parental control.
| 1t is this class, said Father Ryan
those who enter into the holy relation
of marriage, erter it without mature
or cultivated sense Of the responsible
ties and who have not received the
| moral and religious training so essen
| tai TO human successful effort and hui
man happiness that furnish the heavy
grinds for the divorce courts
No man or woman can fully dis
| Charge their obligatio to society un-
less the moral sentiment has been de-
VelOped. and the truly religious senti-
ments are cultivated and made a con
crete part of the human structure. and
| this must be done in the early child
| hood days and continued through life
without mtermiSsiOn.
| The father then went on to say that
| the several great crises now confront
ing the world are due to the fact that
the religious sense is being exterminat-
ed by many of the civil governments
of the world and that when that is eX-
| tmguiShed in the hearts of a majority
of the people of any nation. anarchy
is near at hand. He cited the present
| crisis in France, where, he said. the
anti-church party proudly boasts that
they have eliminated the Almighty and
| the Savior as elements in the daily life
| 9GhprpntG n OH =,
| 1t had taken a hundred years to ac-
ccmDlish it.
Intolerance is the result Of the fail
| ure to impress high moral training and
| religious sentiment; to inculcate the
| responsibilities of the marriage rela-
ton, and no nation that treats these
three important vital questions lightly
can hope to be great and remain great.
AS your homes are, so will be the ma
