TO WED, MUST BE HEALTHY.

Minister Demands Proof Of Fitness
From All He Unites.
The Rev. Hugh Dempsey Wilson, rec
tor Of St Georges Episcopal church.
Passaic, N. j.. announced recently that
he would refuse to marry persons who
could not show medical certificates at.
testing their mental and physical 1T
ness for wedlock.
'The worlds trouble is a vast pyra-
mid whose base is the number Of mis-
at matches and consequent miserable
homes" said DR.. Wilson. "Clergymen
have frequently debased their function
BY willingness or eagerness to marry
any one to any one else, whether
known to them or not. If society un-
happily cannot regulate the quantity
Of births It can at least make IN hon
est attempt to improve the quality.
II believe that the church Of which
I am clergyman will very soon enact
q law requiring medical certificates for
marriage and prohibiting the clergy.
man from marrying people in the alb
sence Of such certificates"
