CURE FOR DIVORCE.
BY Rev. Frank

By Rev. Frank 9. Bruner.
There may be a true basis for di-
vorce. 1t belongs to disloyal wedlock.
The whole trend of Bible teaching is
for it's prohibition. The loyal purity
of domestic ties will forever uproot
such transactions as divorce cases
Our courts are crowded with thous-
ands Of divorce cases. God has built
all things in harmony. 1t is a mixing
of discord into natures wedlOck CON
dition that kills the flowers in the field
of divine harmony. COurtship is
great school. Without being a good
student of conditions for proper we'd
lock the sutton is sure to bring future
wreckage and ruin to the household.
God through His economy has law Of
selection which is a harmony that never
makes a mistake, hence human beings
following this law will make no mis-
take and will discover the institution
of wedlock is divine.
Another cure for divorce is a law to-
prohibit the marriage of unhealthy per-
sons or those in any way having
tendency to insanity.
Antipathy against babyhood Is an
other cause of divorce. People form
matrimonial relations, furnish a house
elegantly, have a large bank account
the husband and wife pet each other,
fondle other peoples children, nurse
themselves into dissatisfaction, grow
restless and wonder what is the mat
ter with themselves, try to be literary
and religious, seek to be widely accom-
plished and after awhile begin to pick
at each other. The faults in the estl-
nation of each other grow into huge
proportions. Then they grow suspl-
cious of each other and begin to think
about divorce. Solve the child prob
lem in the case and the wreckage of
home society and character produced
by divorce is greatly diminished.

o'clock, joking. laughing and apparent

came every night and seemed less
talkative and more glum each time;
also his calls grew shorter, and he
went home as early as half past 8.
The sisters did not know what to
make of it. 1t was pleasant and en-
couraging to have him come so often,
but why didn't he stay longer? Miss
Tempy thought he must be worrying
over the big contract.
She asked Clara for her opinion, but
Miss Hopkins seemed very Indifferent.
She used to come into the sitting room
as soon as the work was done to listen
to Captain Titeomb's stories. but of
late she had gone straight to her own
room. The old maids did not urge her
to remain. They liked to have the cap.
tain to themselves
On the afternoon of the previous
Sunday Miss Tempy had taken sud
den notion to go over to the Methodist
chapel and attend the Sabbath school
concert. The chapel was on the road
to Orham Port, mile or more from
the Allen home. Miss Prissy was not
strong enough to go and, in fact,
thought the walk too long for her del
icate sister, but Miss Tempy, having
made up her mind went. She would
have been glad of Clara's company,
but the young lady had already gone
out.
Miss Tempy had just reached the
corner when she was surprised to see
Captain Titcomb driving toward her
in a buggy She recognized the horse
and carriage as being the best owned
by Lem Mullett, the livery stable keep

looked particularly well dressed

"Cap'n.' she called "Cap'n Ezrar'
The captain was then almost direct

hear or see her. Instead he whipped
up the horse and drove by faster than
ever
