In Saint Mark we read, 'Whosoever shall put away
his WIFE and shall marry another committeth
adultery against her. and if the wife shall put away
her husband, and be married to another she COM
mitch adultery
The unqualified declaration is made by Saint
Luke: Everyone that putteth away his wife, and
marrieth another, committeth adultery: and he
that marreth her that put away from her husband
committeth adultery" Both these Evangelists for
bid either husband wife to enter into second we'd
lock, how aggravating soever may be the cause of
their separation. And surely if the of adultery
authorized the aggrieved husband to marry another
wife, those inspired penmen would not have failed
to mention that qualifying circumstance.

Woman's Unhappy PAST

THE family is the of society; the wife is
~ the of the family. If the fountain is not
pure, the stream is sure to be foul and muddy.
Social life is the reflex of family life. And if we
would clearly understand whittier nation we
are drifting when forsake the Christian standard
of morals and the Christian precepts concerning
the ndissoube nature of the marriage tie, the his
tory of women in pagan countries should enlighten
us. With rare exceptions, they suffered bondage,
oppression, and moral degradation. The wife had
no rights that the husband felt bound to respect.
Woman was kept in perpetual bondage or unending
tutelage; she regarded the slave and the
instrument of mans passions rather than his equal
and companion, by nearly every nation of antiquity;
and she is still regarded in all countries where
Christianity does not prevail.
1t part of the mission of Christianity to
change all this. Woman was proclaimed the peer
of man in origin and destiny; her dignity, in
sequence being equal to his, and the vindcation of
the unity, the sanctity, and the indssolubility of
marriage conferred the greatest boon upon the
female sex. The holiness of the marriage bond is

the palladium of woman's dignity,
while polygamy and divorce in
volve her in bondage and degra-
dalton. In accordance with
the teachings of our Savior, no
man can have more than one wife,
and no woman more than one
husband. The rights and obliga-

Hnotber Prohibition


NASSING from the Gospels to the Epstles of Saint
H. Paul to the Corinthians, we find there also an
unqualified prohibition of divorce The Apostle is
writing to city newly converted to the Christian
religion. Among other topics he indicates the doc
trine of the church respecting matrimony We must
suppose that, inspired writer and a faithful
minister of the Word, he discharges his duty con-
scientously, without suppressing or extenuating
ota of the law He addresses the Corinthians
follows: "To them that married not | but
the Lord commandeth, that the wife depart not
from her husband And if she depart, that she re-
main unmarried, or be reconcied to her husband
And let not the husband put away his wife
Here find the Apostle in his Masters name
commanding the separated to remain unmarried,
without any reference to adultery. If SO important
an exception existed, Saint Paul would not have
omitted to mention it, otherwise he would have
rendered the Gospel yoke more grievous than its
founder intended it to be. We must therefore,
admit that according to the religion of Jesus Christ,
conjugal infdelity does not warrant either party
to marry again; forced to the conclusion
that the vast number of Christians whose knowledge
of Christianity derived solely from the teach
ngs of Saints Mark, Luke, and Paul imper-
fectly instructed in their faith.

A Good Old Southern Holiday
Pudding.

This recipe makes sufficient for
fourteen persons, and can be divided
for smaller family. Weigh one
pound Of raisins, one pound of cur-
rants, one pound Of suet, half pound
citron, one pound of grated, stale
graham bread and half pound of
brown sugar. Stone and chop the
raislns; clean and dry the currants !;
chop the suet fine and sprinkle with a
handful Of flour, and cut the citron
into strips. Measure one even tea
spoonful each of ground cinnamon,
and nutmeg, and half teaspoonful
Of cloves and allspice. Put the fruits
and spices into a bowl and mix
thoroughly. Beat eight eggs without
separating, until they are light, then
add to them one teaspoonful of vanil-
la extract, and add all to the fruit
with the bread crumbs and the suet
Sprinkle in one teaspoonful Of salt
and mix thoroughly; then turn into
the mold, which has been buttered,

used, then a buttered cloth must be
tied over the top, allowing a little
slackness for the pudding to rise
With this pudding a thin sauce can be
used, and the custard sauce will also
prove a delicious accompaniment

Disease-Resisting Fruit.

Farm and Ranch publishes an &C
count Of a pear which originated III
Illinois many years ago, and which has
shown itself to be blight-proof. It is
now being introduced into Texas as
will be seen from the article We
should think that it was we'll worth a
trial in this state. Most remarkable
claims are being made for it's quality.
The following letter, written to Mr.
S. A. Minear, the supervisor of public
school gardening at San Antonio, Tex
as, is sent us as valuable contribution
on blight-resisting pear trees, and OF
great suggestive value concerning dis
ease-resistant stock Of all kinds. We
invite more complete report on the
Sudduth pear.
II think it Of interest to note the
value Of some accidental as we'll as
studied and premeditated crossing (pol-
lenization) Of fruit Of the above-named
families, that are now found to be
wonderfully strong in constitution, free
from diseases and exceedingly prolific
In north Texas, twenty-five years ago,
Prof. T. V. Munson, Of Denver, start
I'd to experiment in the cross polleni-
zation Of number Of the American
and European grape vines with the
wild (postoak) grapes OF Texas; his
object being to secure varieties hav-
ing deeply-penetrating, drought-resist-
ing roots, such as the native (postoak)
grapes possess; and at the same time
get the flavor and sweetness Of the
finest American varieties. The PROBES
sor has made over seventy-hve thou
sand Of such pollenizations and has
from the pollenized seeds grown more
than seventy-fve thousand Seeding
vines, taking four years and upward
to test each young vine for fruit, and
throwing away the poorer ones. From
this vast number he has retained but
thirty-nine varieties as worthy Of
propagation and recommendation to
the public His standard Of Judgment
is: Is the grape as sweet or sweeter,
and as we'll or better favored than the
Concord? Is it drought resistent? Is
it free from black or rot, mildew or
other diseases, and finally, all things
considered, is it a profitable and desir-
able grape to raise? If below the
standard in any Of these particulars,
it is rejected.
Prof. Munson has done for the
United States, and especially in grapes,
what Luther Burbank, of Santa Rosa,
CAL, has done in new varieties Of
p1ums, nuts and vegetables
Turning from grape vines to that
magnificent fruit, the pear, it may be
of interest to relate somewhat more
fully the history of the Sudduth pear;
the parent one being probably the
largest pear tree in the world.
Eighty years ago Thomas Constant,
then young man, came from Ohio to
Illinois, settling on, and homesteading
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1907-01-02

brought with MIN, among Otner SEEDS to
plant in the new country, three little
pear seeds. All three grew, but two
we're crowded, broken down, and died;
the third survived and now stands
monarch of fruit trees, sixty feet tall,
and over twelve feet in circumference
at the height Of a mans head above the
ground.
The editor Of the Farm News Of
Springfield, Ohio, who with large
party Of newspaper men and horticul-
turists from different states, visited this
remarkable tree six years ago, stated
in his paper that upon interviewing a
number OF old farmers in that vicinity
they all declared the tree had never
failed to bear crop any year since it
began in 1926. The farm at Constants
death came into the hands of Judge
Logan, Abraham Lincoln's law partner;
he rented the land for half of the pro-
duce and fruit, and it is of record
among his papers that one year his
share (half the fruit Of the one tree)
was GO IL bushels, showing the crop
that year was at least 121 bushels.
Neither this old tree nor any of it's
children, propagated by farmers Of the
neighborhood or by Augustine & Com
pany, OF Normal, ILL.,, its present own
er (who bought from Mr.. Sudduth,
the successor of Judge Logan,) have
ever blighted in the least, but have al
ways been blight-proof, though stand
ing at all ages, in different states SUR
rounded by blighted and dying trees OF
other varieties Another peculiarly
Of this fruit is that it has no core, nor
seed, nor hard gritty substance in its
center; is sweet, juicy meat all the
way through, and is on this account
eminently useful for preserving.
John w. Yokum, Of Wi1liamsville,
ILL.,, bears the same testimony that
hundreds of others who have long
known and fruited this pear. He says:
"This fruit has always been in demand
and sought after at the highest price.
l consider it one of the best varieties
OF pears | ever ate, and for canning,
picking and preserving there is none
better"
in regard to Southern planting OF
the trees, Mr.. J. P. Coffin says from his
experience they are admirably suited to
it, and out Of $50 trees set out more
than two years ago, but twenty-three
are missing, under the most trying test
which could have been given them.
Every little has been done in the way
OF introducing this pear to Texas plant
ers, but it is doubtless true that its
great igor of growth, its soon estab-
fishing itself on it's own strong roots,
penetrating the subsoil after water,
rendering it drought-proof, its entire
freedom from blight in any and all soils
and locations, it's early, continued and
heavy bearing features, ETC., its good
shipping qualities, should make it a
lavorite in Texas and California, which
are the France and Spain of the Amer;-
can continent the natural home Of the
pear In fact, the Sudduth pear will
one day, doubtless, be as greatly ap-
prove as great or better money maker
than the Spanish onion, the Triumph
potato or the liberia peach.
