ARCHBISHOP TALKS
 AGAINST DIVORCE.
Declares IL the Greatest Curse
 Upon United States.

Salt Lake City, Aug. 1S.-Decluring th.I the greatest curse that hovers over the United States today is the di- vorce evil, Archbishop Glennon of St. Louis delivered a masterful address at the dedication of the Cathedral of St. Mary Magdalene.
 Cardinal Gibbons was present at the ceremony, the first time a Catholic cardinal ever came to Utah.
 Archbishop Glennon in speaking of the divorce evil said:
 We are going through a crisis. We have accomplished commercial pros perity. We are a world power, but what boots 1t if we are strong and powerful abroad if we are weak and degenerate at home. How long will it stand, this republic of ours, if the home begins to fall. When the home falls the republic falls, and when the republic falls the last support of liber- ty and progress falls.
 "O1r homes are overshadowed by divorce. With every divorce at least one home is broken. Those who have been victims in this sad process are exiles.
 If we would maintain the standard of Christianity we must maintain it's sweetest blossom-the Christian home. We must check this invasion of the home, whether it is caused by the de sire for liberty or by q decree of the courts. The home is a sanctuary that is not to be torn down by the designs of men,"
