Z ness and zest worthy Of a much younger
man. Among them were divorce, socialism
and the political situation produced by
Theodore Roosevelts bid for the Repub-
lican Presidential nomination.
For twenty years Bishop Doane has been
interested in the agitation for uniform
divorce law for all the states. He does
not favor a federal law, but one worked
out by the states and enacted by them.
"a federal law could only result In a
compromise" said the Bishop. by which
many states which have satisfactory di-
vorce laws now would lessen the restric-
tions surrounding the granting of di-
vorces For instance, in some states there
are five or six causes for which a person
might get divorce. while in this state
there is only one cause, and In South
, Carolina none"
The Bishop was asked for his opinion re-
garding Senator Wainwrights bill. recent
ly introduced, which would make Illegal In
this state marriages contracted In other
states by persons divorced in this state
and forbidden to remarry.
"I have not noted that bill particularly"
said he. but we ought not to recognize
in this state a marriage performed In an
other state IL one or the other OF the par
ties Is debarred by law from marrying
through having been divorced"
Bishop Doane was much interested in
the sermon recently preached by Father
Vaughan, the proselyting Jesuit. in which
ne arraigned Christianity and socialism
against each other as opposing forces IN
tho working out of humanity's destiny.
"Thefe are so many different interpre-
