Should 4 Man and
Wife be Separated,
TEXT.

The Pharisees also came unto
him, tempting him, and saying
unto him, Is it lawful for a man
to put away his wife for every
causeY
And be answered and said
unto them, Have ye not read,
that he which made them at The
beginning made them male and
female.
And said for this cause shall
a man leave father and mother
and shall cleave TO his wife; aud
they twain shall be one flesh:
Wherefore they are no more
twain but one flesh. What there.
fore God hath joined together
let not man put asunder.
They say unto him, Why did
Moses then command to give y
writing of divorcement and to
put her away.
i He saith unto them Moses be.
, cause of the hardness Of your
hearts suffered you to put away
your wives: but from the beginn.
ing it was not so.
And l say unto you, whose
ever shall puS away bis wife,
except il be for fOrnication and
shall marry another committeth
adultery: and whose msrrieth
her which is put away doth
commit adultery" (Mat. 19-3-0
Here in our Text we see that
the Pharisees came forth tempt.
ing Christ, saying is it lawful

flesh. What therefore God has
joined together let no man put
asunder Then the question ia
asked, why then did Moses

Christ answered on the account

Suffered them to do so, but from

case. And then Christ speaks

except il be for fornication, and

 Virubova added that Nicholas was not pro-German and did not intend to make a separate peace. Imme- diately before the outbreak of the revolution, she heard him make the following statement:

FEMALE RASPUTIN OF TAE CARS CHARMED CIRCLE IS SENT INTO
 EXILE WITH OTHER CELEBRITIES

I was married at IS to a naval of ficer who fought in the battle of Tsuhima He went mad and 1 then discovered him. Afterward came Alix (thus Virubova referred to the former empress). After l came to know her l was her only friend and her companion against the malice of the court.
 Our friendship was purely per sonal. Untrue, therefore, are all the stories of my vicious influence in politics. The proof of this is that commission of extraordinary in- quiry instituted while I was pris- oner in the fortress declared me wholly innocent.
 ''The originators of the uneXam- pied outcry against me were not the revolutionaries, but the court aris- 1ocrats and the grand dukes, es- pecially Dimitri Paulovitch. These were jealous of Alix's favor, and for more than decade waged re lentless war against me, the ex- ception being the Grand Duke Paul, whose wife is ny kinswoman.
 "The truth about Nicholas is that he has a good character and a quicker and better mind than the good-for- r-nothing grand duke His fault is his incorrigible weakness which is partly congenial and part ly the result of the crushing train ing by the mother dowager and his tutors, who were instructed to sup press every manifestation of initia- tive.
 Nicholas hated to hear bad news and reports against others. Until the last he had not the slightest notion that al the nation detested and despised him. He told us only few days before the revolution that he was pleased with the con- ditions in Russia and would grant a responsible cabinet after the war He was positively dumbfounded at the sudden revolt.
 "Rasputins name is wrongfully associated with him. Having been at Court during the entire time Ras- putin was a power there, I know that his political influence over Nj cholas and the empress and his al legged despotic authority over the ministers are pure legends. Alix was busy all the time with me in managing hospitals of which there were 79 at Tsarskoe Selo. Ras- putin, as already known throughout the empire. assured Nicholas that daily prayers would cure Grand Duke Alexis, his son. The illness of the grand duke was not caused as has been alleged, by terrorist attempts on his life. but through defective protection of the blood
