Church Hill's Needs.

Editor of the Vrginian:
Sir,--Undoubtedly Of the greatest benefits

Playground" at Chimborazo park. II Mr..
Hirschherg had nothing more to his credit for
his services the administrative board think
this act Justified his election
But since the summer is past and outdoor
amusements no longer be enjoyed, our
thoughts should be directed. towards making
some provision for the long and tedious evenings
of winter. The instinct for amusement does not
die out with the summer season; indeed II Is
rather intensified, and some provision should be
made for It.
A few years ago all the churches were ac-
customed to having concerts, festivals and en-
tertainments of various descriptions, which at
forded ample diversion for the young folks and
sometimes very instructive and profitable.
But 1t appears that new generation has come
into being that views these thing in a different
light to that of their fathers, and think they are
a desecation of the sanctity of the church, and
have swung to the other extreme, forbdding all
church entertainments.
In doing they have made other pro-
vision for the entertainment Of the children,
leaving them to seek 1t whenever and wherever
they find it. All this. 1t seems to me, Ia a
wanton neglect of thousands Of children and
young people whose natural craving for amuse
ment will inevitably lead them to seek 1t for
themselves unless 1t ia otherwise provided,
1t is a burning shame that this hill there
is place of innocent resort for the young folks

upon that basis, recent incident routs them

criminals near kinsmen for the offenders crime.
1t seems to me that our society, even in this day
of light is tinctured with the principle Of this
ancient law. We punish people for the sins OF
others. For instance, when person does some
dishonorabe deed, require the relatives to
suffer dishonor, however. innocent and irrespon-
sible they may be. And now I conclude.
After careful study Of the subject in question
am lead to believe, and hope / speak with
charity. that the church State that will not
allow innocent person who has been divorced
to remarry takes a stand that is Inconsistent
with the heart of Christ, imposes upon that per-
great and unnecessary hardship: and
further l believe that no moral interest OF
society would suffer In consequence of remar-
riage of innocent parties.

PEOPLES FORUM
Divorce and the Protestant Episcopal Conven-


Editor Richmond Virgnan:
Sir.--I noted recently the introduction Of
resolutions concerning marriage and divorce into
the house of deputies of the general convention
Of the Protestant Episcopal Church converting in
New York All those explicitly stated flor some
were not so stately, except one should meet the
approval of States and religious bodies. The
in question Is the refusal of Clergymen to
soemnze the marriage of divorced person
who hlameless in the divorce proceedings.
think divorce certain grounds should be
permitted. and the State or church that will not
allow innocent parties to remarry deprives them
OF sacred personal rights and counter to
divine justice.
While no one would b. so presumptuous as to
claim ability to give for all time the grounds for
divorce yet in view of present conditions in this
country. absolute divorce should be granted for
infldelity. extreme cruelty, prolonged desertion
hopeless insanity, and imprisonment for long
term and separation only for lesser offenses.
cannot think that Christ intended his precept to
be a universal commandment under all condi-
tions of society and for all times

ago in your city. marriage that think, if the
facts are as stated in the newspaper columns
should be annulled and the innocent party al

husband the same day of the ceremony Let me

More that half dozen years ago in the neigh

mother eloped with rake, leaving the husband
nd several small children in the home and at
this date don't know that they have been heard
of. TO deny that man the right to remarry to
deny those children mothers protecting care
in a real home, would seem to me to be as heart
less as the heartless woman whom he I'M

ancestors that permitted the punishment Of
