Jan. l8.-"Mar- rlago is a consecration, under mu. ual love. and the persons entering upon married life with that concep. ton Of his future is not engaging in a lottery" declared the Rev. pr.

 Dr. Faville had extended an invita- ton to all he had married to atterd the services. Many from nearby cit- les were present, and most of those living at distant points sent letters or telegrams that were read at the service.
 Dr. Faville took his text from Gen. esis:
 "A man shall therefore leave his father and mother, and cieaye to his wife"
 He classified marriage as being chiefly four things; first civil con. tract: second, a religious ceremony; third. a partnersh'p; fourth a conse- cration, under mutual love. He ridiculed the idea that tho marriage of geniuses. because they are such, are failures.
 "It ia only bccause a genius too ire. quently is too little, too selfish and too mean that connubial bliss for him 8 not realized" declared the minis. ister.-CNew York sun.)

HIGH POST GIVEN UP
 BY AMBASSADOR sUARZ


 WASHINGTON. Jan. 27.-Eduardo Suarez-Mujica. Chilean ambassador to the United States. has resigned and will leave his post here in March or April to return to Chle.
 The Ambassador. who Is the senior of the Latin-Amer' can ambassadors here, was one of the Pan-American mediators at the Niaraga conference on Mexican affairs: later was one of the Pan-American conferes who de- cided on the recognition of General Carranza. and was president of the Pan-American scient 'fic Congress. His resignation. which was submitted to his government several weeks ago is now made public.
 Before Mir. Suarez returns to Chile, he will so to Europe to consult physl- clans about his health, which has not been of the best. His reasons for re- sign 'ng. 1t is said are that he wishes to return to look after interests from which he has been absent for several years. He also may run for Con- gross.
 Mr. Saurez entered public life in his contry at the age of 22. Before com ing to the United States as minister he had been in the diplomatic service Tn Cuba and Mexico. A Title more than a year ago he was elevated to the rank of Ambassador. His work in the Pan-American diplomatic group here has always been identified with the spirit of Pan-Amerlcan unity, and his efforts in that direction attracted attention at the recent Pan-American Congress.

If wage-earners had income suffic- .ent to provide decent homes and oth- CT necessities. said Judge Nell, there would be few assertions. Among the welnpaid craftsmen assertions are few.
 We too often forget that it is un- natural for men to abandon their fam flies and children. When Q large num- Der of men resort to this desperate measure we must conclude that there Is strong compulsion.
 '5n travelling about the country urg- ing mothers pensions I have paid an especial attention to the problem in every city have visited. My conclus- ion is that as long as low wages con tinue we shall have assertions, and all the courts and iails in the world will not amend the situation.
 'Twenty-six states now have moth CTS pensions. The results have been wonderful. Court officials have re- ported as night as 100 per cent in the reduction of juvenile crime and de- linquency with a consequent reduc- ton in the tax burden. which com pensates in large measure, at least, for the cost of the system.
