Colonel James Hamilton Lewis,
the gentleman whose facial lambre-
quins are the pride of all Chicago,
has taken to the discussion OF the
divorce evil. The affable colonel has
views on this subject which he has
given to the world through the
medium of a magazine. The colonel
writes that "the time seems to be
approaching when what is deSig-
mated as the divorce evil, that is, the
rapid increase of divorces and the
frequent separation of mothers from
their children, wives from their hus-
bands, and wives and husbands from
their home, threatens the stability
of the state. When the unit OF civili-
tion-designated the hOme-is no
longer preserved, there ceases to be
that stimulus for individual achieve
ment which in the aggregate makes
for the prosperity, advance and re-
nown of the state"
His solution he states thus: Il
suggest as something OF solution
and this after considerable reflection
and study of this subject, comparing
of the countries of the world with
my own-that instead of the divorce
being primarily allowed because OF
mere differences between the par
ties, that there be a tribunal es.

The Literary Digest publishes a
summary of the report of the COM
mittee on scope and plan of the joint
commission of all Christian churches,
which was initiated by the Episcopal
general conference last year at Gin
cinnati. Among the churches which
have appointed members of the joint
commission are: Congregational,
Methodist, Baptist, Reformed, Disci-
pies of Christ, the various Presbyte-
rian bodies, the Evangelical Lutheran
and Dutch Reformed. The report de-
fines the purpose of the proposed
conference to be to prepare the way
"for the outward and visible reunion
OF all who confess our Lord Jesus
Christ as Lord and Savior and for
the fulfillment of the Lords prayer
that all may be one" 1t also says
