Need of Uniform Divorce Law.

How much of a deterrent effect pub
licity will have ON the undoing Of the
work of little Dan Cupid is TO be
demonstrated in Pittsburg. new
this week. as 152 divorce cases are
taken up by the court. Under rule
recently adopted all proceedings must
be conducted in open court, and all
the evidence. no matter how humiiat-
ing in its character. will be a public
matter. There is difference of
opinion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of this
but as the trial of all other cases is
public there is a very strong public
sentiment against making any excep-
ton in divorce proceedings. The evil
dence produced is something often
sive and shocking, but not more so
than in some other trials. There has
been a general feeling that the hiding
of evidence in divorce cases has en-
couraged parties to seek divorce who
certainty that the facts would become
a matter of public talk and scandal.
The new rule of the Pittsburg Courts
will most likely have the effect of re-
ducing the divorce business in that
county, for some, at least, of the par
ties will seek separation elsewhere.
And that fact again emphasizes the
need OF a system of uniform divorce
laws.

Church Center of Social Progress.

Another thing that is brought home
tn churchman and outsider. in the
Men and Religion Forward Move
ment, is that churches are getting
away from the old .idea that their
functions are limited to religious ana
spiritual problems. For just one
moment consider the meaning of the
movement to carry religion to the
shop and factory. Here we see the
recognition of the responsibility, to
some extent, for social conditions in
the jurisdiction of the churches,
growing obligation to promote social
welfare. This thought, although not
yet generally accepted by the
churches, is making progress. 1t is
part of the civic arousal.
The Episcopal church, under the
leadership of Bishop Potter, created
commission to consider questions OF
capital and labor. Later ii has had IN
its place a commission ON social SER
vice. The address of Bishop Law
renee who is chairman of the com
mission. at Trinity, Boston, Sunday
evening, was an earnest presentation
of the responsibility of the church
for the Improvement of social condi-
tions. The fact that 20 dioceses
have committees or commissions on
this subject is an encouraging one.
Many churches are taking the new
view of their functions; but the great
majority confine themselves to dis
tinctly religious work.
The bishops plea was for the
preaching Of the gospel in social
terms-not gospel of medicine for
the cure of social ills, SO much as a
gospel of prevention and upbuilding.
He would have the church the centre
Of inspiration to work for the social
welfare of all the people. His sug-
gestion that a church should be re-
sponsible for the social conditions
within half mile may seem radical
one, but the objector should answer
the question. Why not? before he
can effectively meet the bishops ar
gument
The church which accepts the new
conception of its functions will be
very likely to win back that large
body Of men who have been alienated
from it by its indiffereEence to the
needs of the masses. The great mo-
tive and inspiration for interest ii
the social welfare is Christian. The
church should be the centre of every.
lthing which is Christian.

Napoleon and Colonial Architecture.

To Americans the word colonial means
the period before the revolution, when
the greater part of North America was 4
colony of England. 1t is, therefore, not
a little puzzling that a style in arehftec-
ture which belongs not to the 18th but the
18th century should be called colonial. To
use a more reasonable word to embrace d
series of buildings for public and private
use which initiate after a fashion the
facades of the Greek temples would be
empire" 1t marched along in step with
empire furniture, and is a distinctly Ma
poieonic style, in SO far as this, had not
Napoleon conquered Egypt, had not the

him to the Orient revived under his d.
recton the taste for the classic once
more-the classic in painting, sculpture
and architecture as we'll as furniture-in
all likelihood we should never have had
the so-called colonial style at all.
The term, in short, was not invented
here, but in England. which concerned
herself but little about the secession OF
North America, south of st. Lawrence,
and continued to regard the western hem
isphere as d colony. And she imposed the
term Colonial on this curious form OF
architecture because it appeared in the
colonies and so effectively that 1t re-

The original expenditure by the city
