This step is taken only after

is believed that this stand will meet
with the Immediate sympathy of the
clergy in the church at large, all OF
whom have long felt the undesirable
ity Of being party to the marriage OF
persons who, because OF their physical
condition, should never be allowed tc
enter into the marriage state"
