test

Birmingham, Ala, May 1S.-By an
overwhelming vote yesterday the
Southern Presbyterian general as
semblv refused to consider the pro-
test of the Central Texas Presbytery
against the action Of the assembly
last year in refusing to take up a
charge OF rnorthodoxy against DR..
W. j. Caldwell, pastor of the Fort
Worth First Presbyterian church.
BY vote OF 10 TO 8 last year the
Continental Presbytery refused 10
take up the matter. The synod OF
Texas reversed the presbytery and
the general assembly by a vote of
one reversed the synod.

The age of legal capacity to marry IL
England Is much lower than in Italy.
The English law has adopted In this
respect law of Roman and even
Athenian origin. by which the ages OF
fourteen and twelve were fixed as the
maria geablc ages of males and fe-
males, respectively. In Italy the age
Is fixed by the civil code at eighteen
and fifteen. Formerly the age OF spous
ais in England was as low as seven
for both sexes, but such marriage was
not considered perfect. for the parties
might disagree to It when they ar
rived Mt the mature age of twelve OF
fourteen.
