Mere words are powerless to ex-
press the thrill of horror which I
feel as a patriotic British subject,
when reflect upon the consequences
to England of the ideas now IN vogue
among fast married people concern
ing married life.
The very existence of love between
husband and wife has become bad

Instituted by God Himself. has become
mere question of convenience ana
personal expedency, and young per.
sons about to enter upon the holy
state of matrimony actually determine

perience goes to show that quite apart
from the other questions involved the
larger the family the healthier and
merrier the children.
But the parents OF to-day rldlcule
the notion of having big families, In
stead of being proud, society Is be-
coming ashamed to own nursery
full OF children And motherhood, in-
stead OF being looked upon as a bless

regarded RS a duty.
In one sense--the sense of the
child's well heing--I am sometimes
tempted to think this almost good
thing, rather than the evil thing II

there Is little or no time fora modern

How English Society Shirks Motherhood
By FATHER BERNARD VAUGHAN
The Famous London Preacher.

Il had reached its highest point OF pa
ganism-a period which historians
WRONGLY call the '.palmy days OF CIV
|ilization. 1t was an age when the
linyioIabIe character of welded life was
utterly ignored when its duty to the
race was regarded as an -tntolerable
burden, to be cast aside like the chains
of slavery for the license Of free men.
And Its end was this-that in the;
reign of Augustus the very highest
and noblest families were dying out
for want OF heirs, while the loWeF
orders We're desolating whole prov
inces and Rome itself by their prac-5
tice of self-intlicted extinction.
To such a fate as this Is society
blindly rushing in our own day. Eng
land, once known amongst the nations
as the land OF beautiful homes" is
fast becoming the land of empty
cradles; and, as was the case IN the
decadent England the unfit are the
most fertile.
A considerable amount of the cur
rent literature read by idle people,
tends to encourage and foster this
dread state of affairs, but 1t is inns
possible for Christians. in any walk
of life, to pretend they can persuada
themselves that when once they are
married they may, with perfect im-
punity. thwart Gods designs In them.
Outside tho pale of the church, how
ever, the laws regulating married life
are becoming more and more widely
ignored, and the evil practices of which
/ speak are part and parcel of every
day existence, all manner OF specious
excuses being put forward for shirk-
Ing the sacred purpose of marriage.
To be the means, under God, OF
bringing a larger family into the
world than they can conVspiently pro-
vide for Society people will calmly
Should their means be too ample to
admit of this, excuse, they will explain.
instead, that. there are personal con-
siderations altogether Independent OF
mere fortune that go TO regulate what
the world calls Il we'll ordered married
life
The claims OF personal health, the
claims OF personal convenience. the
claims of society. even the claims of
Dame Fashlon-rall these things ara
put forward as sufficient 10 prove that
ii is the business OF husband and wife,
or both, or of either, and not OF their
Creator, to settle the momentous guess
tion OF tho nursery and the number OF
children to be allowed in 1t.
And what does this destructive phi-
losophy OF life really meana We all I
know Well enough that the empty *
cradle must eventuaily mean the amply 3
home; hut IL means infinitely moro
than that, II means a demoralizad
and depopulated country ripe tos Ihf

fate OF ancient Rome.

OUCKWATER RANCHES SOLD
All Old Timers On Greek Except
Irwin Brothers Sell Out For
Over $500, 900

Ely Expositor May 10: TIE largest
deal ever pulled of in the eastern part
Of the State was contaminated several
days ago. when practically all the
ranches at Duckwater. Nye County,
were purchased by r. d. Meacham, q
wealthy Utah cattleman.
The magnitude Of the transaction can
be realized only when it is mentioned
that more than $500. 900 changed hands
when the necessary legal papers were
signed up, and the Utah capitalists OBJ
tanned possession of 1880 acres of the
choicest farming land in Nevada.
Ralph and Paul Irwin, who own 25o
acres of orchard land, refused to sell
their ranch property to Meacham. al
though they received q tempting offer
from the Utah man. All the other
ranchers in that locality accepted the
terms offered by Mr.. Meacham, and sold
their holdings.
William Mendes. who has lived at
Duckwater for 20 years, will be the
principal beneficiary as a result of the
transaction. He sold 1900 acres of land,
the greater part of which is planted In
hay.
The other parties who sold their farms
10 Mr.. Meacham are as follows: Mrs.
Gus De Flop, 1900 acres of land; Jesse
Mendes. 800 acres; Joseph Birch. 36C
acres; Joseph Tognoni, 165 acres; Sera-
phine R~ogantini. 100 acres. and Frank
@. Van Over, $50 acres.
Besides acquiring control of the
farming land, the Utah landlord has
come into possession of valuable i'm
provements on the various ranches.
The majority of the r%anchers, who
have sold their properties. have lived a
