Rev. Father Kane on the Divorce
Evil.

The Rector OF Saint Tohn's Catholic
! Church. on East Second street this CITY
on Sunday last, March 3oth, in the
course OF his sermon on the sixth precept
/ of the church. demonstrated the sad CON
dition of the divorce court in this
! county and the country at large. The
| sermon was carefully prepared and he
| then announced the figures showing one
divorce application 10 every seven license
applications in our clerks Office. being
the worst statistics of any place in the
United States.
He stated that marriage was a most
ancient institution and a sacred contract
and ordained and witnessed by God in
the Garden of Eden, and is the uniting
for life of one man and one woman He
then traced marriage from It's beginning
on down through the years and down to
the time when the men devated from the
path of righteousness and began to prac-
tice polygamv Christ then came as a
social and moral reiormer and re-estab-
lished marriage as il was founded in the
Garden OF Paradise. Besides the mar
riage contract all other contracts fails.
The marriage contract is indiSsoluble.
The greatest stigma of the American
nation today is the divorce evil and ac-
cordng to siatisucCS the United States
now stands in sorrowful contrast To the
other Christian nations. 1t is a sad spec
tacle that our Legislatures are composed
OF protesting Christians, who engage in
the making of laws permitting divorce.
The rector then stated that ii was
high time that the moralists found
throughout the country fighting the
liquor traffic, and political corruption.
should attack divorce Up to this time
he stated that they had been as blind to
this most unspeakable evil. In permit |
ting dlvore, this county, and this coun-
try stand in open defiance to the will of |
God, said the speaker.
Father Kane then stated that one
reason why divorce is so frequently APP
piled for is because of the haste in
couples marrying. They fail to consider
the responsibilities and the obligations
OF married life. Many women who enter
the married state are IN utter ignorance
OF Its responsibilities such as domestic
science. management of households, etc.
Another reason he said why there is
such a frequency of applications for
divorces IS also found in couples living
beyond their Incomes. If a man Is max
ing from SI2 to SIS per week, too often
this family wants to live on a plane of
the man making $40 or $50.
In selecting a husband Young woman
should be careful 10 investigate his char
acterstlcs, disposition, etc. If he is con.
lazy or addicted to intem-
perance i'll drink, she should not think
that she will be able to correct and re-
form him for she will not be able to do
ii. Those contemplating matrimony
should take time and consider their
mate as one considers a bus
mess partner.
He closed by saying that the Church
has always stood for th- indissoublity
Of the marriage contract and its sacred
ness. There are number of thinkers
the entire country who are
now considering with alarm the growth
Of divorce, as 1t strikes at the very foun-
aln source of society in The family.

Woman is mans true Alpenstock,
upon which he leans as he climbs the
Alps of life. No hand but hers can
steady and guide him over its treacher-
Gus heights, and its slippery places.
Wise is he who clearly recognizes that
woman is the greatest formative factor
for veal or woe in human life. He has
not reached maturity, is not fitted to take
his place in life's theatre, who has
not realized this. Turn to history's page,

book, either ancient or modern. take it
from the shelf of some library or dig it

You will read therein on every page. in

She is mans complement, a God-given

A lady received the following reply
from neighbor in answer to a question
as to whv she allowed her children and
her husbsnd to litter up every room IN
the house. The sentiment will find lodg-
ment in the heart OF every home loving
person in the land THE mark of the
little feet upon the floor can be more
easily removed than the stains where the
little feet go into the ways of sin. The
prints of the little fingers upon the win
dow pane cannot shut out the sunshine
half so much as the shadow that darkens
the mothers heart over the one who is
but name in the coming years. And
if my Toe finds home refuge from care
and his greatest happiness within Its four
walls, he can put his boots in the rocking
chair and hang his coat on the floor any
day in the week. And if stand it and
he enjoys it, | cannot see that it is any

HOME.


One of our subscribers who enjoys the
Home Circle column hands us the fol-
lowing beautiful thoughts on the appre-
citation of the home, which we gladly give
place in our Home Circle Department,
and wish that more of our lady readers
! might become contributors 10 this col
umn, for we do feel it an opportunity
granted us to make the world feel little
bit brighter and happier for our having
lived in it:
When the chill blasts Of winter shrek
across the frozen earth and the ptileSS
snow hides from our sight the last vestige
OF what remains of summer when the
frozen streams and the leaileSs trees look
barren and desolate. and even the beasts
of the field cling closer to their protecting
shelter, how dreadful is the thought that
perhaps some poor. homeless wanderer
is out in the storm. 1t is then that we
turn. to our own freside and smile at the
dear faces of our loved ones it is then
that we fully appreciate that priceless
gift which God has given us-home
where we can find rest and comfort un-
molested; home, where we can breathe
onr sorrows to sympathetic ears home
where our Joys are the happiness of
others; home where true hearts beat in
unison with one another and happiness is
found in its fullest meaning. SO should
we each strive in our own way to make
our home life better and brighter. A
kindly word at parting, pleasant smile
in greeting, an approving glance, an en-
couraging word, or helping hand, each
in their place, and we never know their
power for good. SO let us, to whom
God has given these blessings, make
them what they should be, a paradise
on earth. where weary hearts can find
rest and peace after the toll of the day
is over"

There are brave, manly hearts driven
into evil company for the lack otlove and
sympathy at home There are tender
hearts starving for kind word or ca
ress from father or mother. 1t is not
always total depravity on their part that
takes boys into the streets and from
there into the billiard saloon, and from
the billiard saloon to the dram shop.
1t is too often the lack OF heavenlness
about the home 1t is because home IS
not heaven with its sheltering arms of
love. 1t is because the fathers manner
repels and the mother, oppressed with IA
tigue, has no time to make the home
pleasant for her boys. Then, why not
Strike at the root Of the evil? Make the
home what it should be and your boys
will stay there and be comfort to you.

How many of our readers think as

their dear, old-fashioned mother? Other
faces may fade away and be forgotten,
but hers will shine on forever. When
in the iitful pauses of life our feet wander
back to the old homestead, and crossing
the well-worn threshold, stand once more
in the room so halowed by her presence,
how the feelings of childish innocence
and independence overcome us, and we
kneel down in the molten sunshine

filled in great drifts between her and us,
but they have not hidden from our sight

join without her mother. A club OF this
kind was organized in Michigan last year
as an outgrowth Of the high school. SIX
girls in the school formed a club. During
the summer they gave luncheon to
which the six mothers were invited. A
new club was formed which included both
mothers and daughters. A little later the
"Sunday-rest-for movement be-
gan to be talked Of in the town. The SIX
girls were studying domestic science IN
the high school. The club decided that
solution of the Sunday dinner problem of
their homes could be solved by each girl
making herself responsible for the dinner
in her own family, thus demonstrating
the value of her domestic science study.
This gave a rest to her mother ana an
attractive meal to the family. Several
domestic science teachers in different
parts of the country have suggested that
the pupils take charge of the FANNY
Sunday dinner as an opportunity to e1er-
else the knowledge gained.
The necessity of one days rest In seven
is recognized in all industrial circles In
which high-grade efficiency is looked for
Employers have found that it does not
paw to require men to work seven days,
even during a special rush, because their
efficiency deteriorates so that the output
falls below the standard either IN Quallty
or quantity. Yet this great economic
principle has been overlooked so far as
most mothers are concerned. Ihis is
partly the fault of the mothers, VINO are
too willing to sacrifice themselves for the
comfort and pleasure OF their 1amliies.
It is a mistaken unselfishness frequently.
# would be wiser If every mother would
racoenize the truth that her health de-
mands one days rest in seven, and thus
conserve her own strength and nerve
force.

FROM DUCAL HALLS
TO SHIPS FORECASTLE
American College Athletes Visit
England and Have a Varied
Experience.

BOSTON, September S.-From ducal
halls to forecastle was the range of ex-
perience travelled by two Dartmouth Col
lege athletes, M. Arthur Meyers of Chi
cago and George Read Of Boston. who
returned from England yesterday on the
steamer Canadian.
The boys worked their way to Eng
land as cattlemen to take part in Eng
lish athletic games. Their prowess in
sports at Dartmouth, England, attracted
the attention of the Earl Of Dartmouth.
When he heard that they were from
Dartmouth College, named for one of his
ancestors, he insisted that they should
spend week end with him as his guests.
After leaving their titled host, however
the boys met hard luck. At London they
lost all their money and had to pawn
rings watches and stickpins to buy
tickets to Liverpool, where their prayers
for passage home were answered with
berths as stokers in the engine room OF
the Canadian. Off duty they whiled away
their time with poker, using potato par
ing for white chips and carrots for red.
The boys were not used to the seamen' s
fare and when their plight became known
to some college girls In the first cabin,
various tidbits were struggled down to
them. Saturday night they were unable
to resist the dance music on the saloon
deck and were dancing with some OF
their college girl friends, when found by
the ships officers and ordered below in
the interests OF ship discipline.

It is believed that the river still holds
these members of the body and that the
crime was committed in New York by a
person or persons versed in surgery. A
probable motive for the crime is found
with the discovery that the young wom-
