BELIEVES DIVORCE IS
ENEMY OF THE NATION
Professor Casey Has Very
Pronounced Views

Baltimore, Mr., March 31.-''It is the
duty of wise and good statesmen to OPP
pose divorce said Rev. James 7.
Casey, professor of philosophy at 10y
ola College, in a sermon at st. Ignatius'
Catholic church, recently.
Father Casey is one of the leading
teachers of philosophy in the Jesuit
Order and has preached many able SER
mons in this city. His topic for last
evenings sermon was THE Sacrament
of Matrimony; Santifying Society and
Vindicating the Dignity of Woman
hood" He said matrimony was insJi-
tuted by Christ to sanctify society
through the family by comforting on
those who worthily receive it graces
necessary to fulfill the duties of Chris
tian spouses and parents.
The Popes for 800 years since
Christ" he continued, have laid down
the law. "Wh, therefore, God hath
joined together let no man put asuna-
er. The Catholic church has maintain
ed, and no earthly power could make
her swerve from it, that marriage con-
tracted among Christians and consum-
mated can be dissolved, except by
death Well then, may women honor
the Pontiffs for their are the steadfast
defenders of their Christian dignity
at is only in that spouse of Christ
that we may find a remedy for two
great evils that are playing sad havoc
with social order. The first evil is
race suicide The perpetuation of the
race is evidently intended by the Gre
ator, who babe the first couple to in
crease and multiply and fill the earth.
The church accordingly even reminds
her children that the primary ends of
matrimony are the generation and edu-
cation of children, whereby the human
race is perpetuated and raised to be-
coming standard of Intellectual and
moral excellence. She smites with her
censures those who employ deliberate
means of frustrating that noble pur-
pose by their proclamation of marriage
and interference with the laws of ma
ture which God has established.
THE second crying evil is divorce.
Those who love our country and are
eager for its welfare see with sad mis-
givlngs the family becoming weaker III
the loosening of the marriage tie. If
we can trust statistics, in 20 years,
from 1887 to 1906 about 100000 di-
vorccs were granted! Who can fail to
see with deep sadness a step down
ward toward degeneracy Of morals in
the increased facility now given to
many states of the American Union for
obtaining divorce?
THE state once recognized matri-
mony as a sacred contract, which by

PUT UPON PARITY
"WOMEN As GOOD AS MEN
Salaries VIII he Same For Both in the
Future.

New York, March 31.-Men teachers
in the elementary schools of New
York city appointed hereafter will re-
ceive the same pay as women. This
Will mean that the present salaries
paid to men in these positions will be
cut about one-third in the cases of fu-
ture appointments This action by the
Board of Education is regarded by the
women teachers as a first step in the
complete equalization Of the salaries
of men and women teachers in all de-
partments of the public schools. The
controversy over this question has
been bitterly waged for several years
past.

Thanksgiving Day.

places were closed during the
day, and union services we're held

ed by Rev. Roger. While there
was fair attendance, the many
vacant pews suggested the
thought that there were many
people who did not feel that they
had enough to be thankful for TO
bother gong to church about it.
In the evening, Mrs. Royer and
her Elocutlon Class gave an en-
tertalnment in the Public School
building, that was well attended
and very much enjoyed. The
program consisted of recltatlons
and clean little play, that cover.
ed almost two hours of time.
The players did so well that they
were fairly drowned out" with
encores, and they showed that
they had been trained by a skilled
teacher. Indeed, Mrs. Roger
proved herself to be a Past Mas
ter in the art and science of elocu-
tios. The fact that, while but a
school girl, she won a gold medal
and a free scholarship at the
Lock Haven state normal school
for her clever recltlng while III

Quoted the service, Edward j.
Croft and Henry Wolf assisting.
Mrs. Hoop was a daughter of
the late Henry and Sarah Sipes,
of Licking Creek township, this
county. In 1866 she was united
IN marriage to J. Wesley Hoop.
This union was blest with two
children Eva, wife of Beamer
Gress, and Miss Sallle, at home.
She was converted at the age
of II years, and became a mem.
ber of the M. E. church, In which
she held membership for SO
years.
She was kind hearted chris.
tan lady, always having the we'll
fare of others at heart. She de.
lighted to give home to needy
children; and, so, several young
persons enjoyed her motherly
care until they could do for them.
selves. But, thirty-twoI years
ago, she was stricken down with
nervous prostratlon, which left
her an Invalid for life. Leading
physicians we're consulted but
to no avail.
This sad condition continued
for twelve years, when change
came for the worse, and she BE-
came entirely helpless.
For the following twenty years,
she was as helpless as a babe,
and required the same attention;
but the last five years prior to her
death, she was so poorly and
powerless, that she could no
longer make known her wants
all means of communication hav.
ing ceased. At last MISS Salhe
found way to overcome this to
some extent. She noticed that
her mother could raise her one
hand but just little, as all the
rest of the limbs and muscles
were rigid; so she told her to
answer her questions by raising
her hand as much as she could
to indicate yes; and, If her ans
wer was no to keep her hand
still. Thus 1t was quite a relief
for some time; but there were
times when all her mental facul.
ties were inactive. At such times
the nurse could only guess at her
wants and risk her own judgment
IN relieving her distress.
The bereaved family surely
have done their part by the wife
and mother, as such a lot falls to
very few of the human family.
They have the promise of a sure
reward IN this life and in the life
which Is to come.
The departed one, during her
life time, was q great Bible reader
as long as she was able to do so.
She was greatly impressed with
the 23rd Psalm which she COM
mitted to memory,
While she was yet IN the enjoy
