MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE,

At the annual meeting of the Na-
tional League for the Protection OF
the Family. recently held in Boston,
the Secretary Mr. Dixie. reported that
the Leagues divorce bill had been
adopted By the legislatures OF New
Jersey and Delaware. Nine states, II
seems, have now Incorporated this
measure in their laws. Tho bill Is
mainly designed to secure license and
registration OF marriages Mr.. Dixie
believes that permission to contract
marriages in any town. city or state,
should he withheld. lie suggests that
a sentiment be created among all
classes Of people that every self-re-
respecting woman insist on being
married in her own church. or home
by her own minister, following as far
as may he the German practice OF
having people married in the place
where they live.
As for the divorce evil, the fact
was referred to at the meeting of the
League, that the Census office inquiry
shows that more than million di-
vorces were granted in this country
during the last twenty years, or more
than three times the number granted
in the previous twenty. Whatever the
explanation OF this is, the awful total
reveals woeful lack of the qualities
that are needed for the building UP
of homes Many divorces are due to
unfaithfulness. desertions, and hasty
marriages such conditions prove
the necessity of better understand
ing of the sacred nature OF marriage
covenants Those who are really
concerned about the future of the
American home should see to IL that
the prevailing ignorance on that sub
iect be dispelled by the light OF
truth.
