Enjoyed for many a year;
Plenty of holly and mistletoe;
Plenty of fun and cheer

With loads of luscious things to eat
Arrayed in tempting state.
Such charming entertaining, too,

scored in strong terms by the Rev
Hugh l.. MCMenamin. rector of the
fashionable Cathedral parish. in his
sermon at 1130 o'clock. Race
suicide" the Rooseveltian term. was
net used by the rector. bur his words
were straight to the point
Father McMenamin advocated the
separation of husbands and wives
where either one refuses TO permit
nature to take its course, and he
scathingly denounced married wom-
en- who offered free advice to pres
pective brides
Pays Tribute to Mothers.
Father McMenamin spoke on
Motherhood" and he paid glow
ing and eloquent tribute to the moth
ers CT the world, and to motherhood,
characterizing mothers as God blessed
and every mother as carrying out
the wishes of God for the perpetu-
alton Of the human race and the
furtherance of His own great scheme
for the world
Speaking of the disposition of
many women not to become mothers,
Father McMenamn said that there
was a law higher than the church
or st"te and that was the law of
nature. which was the law OF God
He said that God intended that
children should come into the world
and the woman who opposed
children was opposing nature. and
therefore opposing God.
Urges Septra ION.
The preist said that If there was
a woman in the congregation who
was subject to the slavery of not
being permitted to become a mother
she should leave her husband at
once. He said If there was man
| welded to woman who opposed
children, he should cast her out.
Father McMenamin declared that
even absence of perfect physical
| Conditi n on the part of husband or
wife was not an excuse for inter
| fering with nature; that God took
| care of all such children, and that
even should the child die in infancy
or at birth it was not a calamity
| for the child was Gods child and
He would take care of it.
