PAPIST BREAKS Faith With HERETIC wife.
Catholic Declares to His Protestant Wife She
is Living Life Of Shame.

A new form OF cruelty appear
ed in a divorce action tried this
morning before Judge Thomas C
Wilson Because of difference
in religion the husband twitted
his wife as being unmarried and
living life of shame.
Louis Ceurvorst. the husband.
is Catholic. Marie Ceurvorst
the wife, is Protestant. They
were married in 1914 in Pro-
testant church. A year later,
Mrs Ceurvorst testified, her hus-
band began to tell her that they
were not married under the laws
of his church.
81 finally agreed to marry him
in his own church," testified Mrs
Ceurvorst. "He said he didn't
want to take into his church a
woman who had lived the life
that l had lived"
Judge Wilson ruled that the
actions of Ceuovorst were cruelty
and granted the wife a decree of
divorce.
The foregoing item, from the
Wichita (Kan } Beacon, of Dec,
2, seems to charge the cruelty
suffered by Mrs Ceurvorst to her
husband; hut the fact is that
Ceurvorst told the truth when he
declared to his wife that he and
she were rot married according
to the laws of Rome though they
had been married in a Protestant
church and in conformity with
the law of the land.
At the bottom of this unhappy
affair is the conflict of Romish
papal law with the statutory law
of the States. The wife was
married according to American
law, and was satisfied to remain
a law abiding party to the COIL
tract. Her papist partner refuses
to abide by American law because
he yields superior allegiance to
Romish law and papal govern
ment.
Beneath all this is a bigger
question than the martial troubles |
of the Ceurvorst family. 1t raises
the question as to whether this /
country and its people should con,
form to American law or to the
law of papal Rome. And that
question will loom larger and
larger in this country until it is
definitely settled.
The papal system claims the
right to regulate marriage. The
laws of the several States assert
the same right. In such a case
as-that under consideration, the
two come in conflict. Which is
to prevail?
There is no lodging this ques
ton. 1t must be met squarely,
and answered definitely. Until
it is so met and answered, the
priests and their dupes will 60 on
breaking up families and distress
innocent victims of mixed mar
. riages with just such cruelty as
here appears.
The pope of Rome asserts
monopoly over the marriage OF
his subjects, that they must marry
according to the rulers of Rome,
otherwise they are not married
although the State may say tliey
are. This characteristic assunp
ton strikes at the very heart of
the American home. What arc
we going to do about it?-The

On Nov. IT, 1917, near Blackwells,
Ca, one of our Oldest and most high

passed to his reward. Bro. Kemp
was born in South Carolina, March
5, 1888. With his father he moved
to Cobb County, Ca, in 1845.
Jan. A, 1856, he was married to
Miss Mary Brooks who survives him.
Beside his wife he leaves three
daughters and four sons viz Mrs. j.
D. Mitchell and Mrs. T. E. McCleskey
of Alabama, D. D. Kemp, of Spring
Place, Ga, E. E. Kemp, of Atlanta,
J. j., w. W., and Miss Ola Kemp, of
Blackwells.
Sunday, November 18, the funeral
was conducted from the home by
Rev. W. H. Smith, Pastor of Sandy
Plains Baptist Church The inter-
ment was at Kemp's Cemetery in the
presence of a great congregation of
his friends.
Brother Kemp had lived long and
we'll His friends were not those of
his own age only but the young peo-
pie and the children were his friends
because he was their friend. Such
citizens are the strength of state,
nation and church.
Best of all Bro. Kemp was Chris
tian. He joined the church at the
age of 21 years. He loved his own
church best yet the love of Christ in
him carried his realm of fellowship
far beyond the boundaries of his own
denomination. He sought the comp
any of those who knew Christ.
We shall see him again where sad
partings come no more.

a CHRISTMAS APPEAL TO
THOSE WHO STAY AT HOME

There are still people in this Coun-
try who do not seem to realize that
we are at war. At least, they do not
seem to realize that to win this war
they themselves must render war
service, Loyalty, earnestly, actively,
intelligently.
Thousands of our young men, the
flower of the Nation are today Of
fering their lives on foreign soil in
order that you who stay at home
may live in peace and security. Al
ready casualty lists show the dead,
wounded and missing. Our boys, who
have made the supreme sacrifice for
YOU "who stay at home"
What are you doing as your own
individual part to help them In this
great struggle? Can you seem indif
ferent to the sacrifice they are max
ing for you? can you coolly contin-
ue to attend to your personal busl-
ness, perfmctorily giving perhaps
some money for war interests, but
sharing in no active war work? No!
Without exception, those who stay
at home must find a place in the
ranks Of the Army back of the Army
at the front.
That Army is the American Red
Cross, organized to alleviate the suf-
fering of the soldier at the front or
his family left behind Are you
Member? If not, it should be your
privilege as well as duty to join. We
have 100000 members now, but
want 100000 before Christmas
Eve. 100000 Men, Women, Boys
and Girls to send Christmas greet
ing to our Boys at the Front, and say
to them "We cannot all fight, but we
are here to back you up; to send you
comfort and cheer while you fight
for us; to minister to you if wounded
or captured; and to minister to your
loved ones who you have left behind"
The Cobb County Chapter has $50
Members, but we must have $500 by
Christmas Eve;-an insignificant
number compared to our 10000 pros
porous population. We have one
Chapter covering the whole County,
with active auxilliaries in Marietta,
Roswell, Acworth, Smyrna, Powder
Springs and Austell; but there should
be one in every militia district in the
county. If you live in district
where there is an auxiliary, join,
JOIN NOW. If there is no auxiliary
in your district, wont you help to or

ready and anxious to come and help
you. We propose to go into every
district between now and Christmas
and organize the work, but we need
