WAR ENDANGERED
MARRIAGE BONDS

Manchester. Eng, Dec. 27.-sEvery-
thing points to the near approach of
a general, deliberate and sustained at
tack on the Christian conception of
marriage declared the bishop of
Hereford in an address at Manchester
cathedral on New Ideas of Maria -
The war has lowered the prestige
of marriage IN the thought of many
people and visibly endangered its
character" said the bishop. This has
been accomplished partly by endowing
women and girls with unprecedented
Independence ana forcing them into a
public prominence for which nothing
in their previous careers had prepared
them; most of all by shaking the whole
fabric of civilized society and bring
ing into question the accepted prin-
pie of social order, discrediting
churches. breaking down authority
and forcing under ruthless criticism
the most intimate and fundamental
assumptions of human conduct.
The divorce court shows us the
picture of society governed by impulse
rather than principle, swept along by
the currents of self-indulgent fashion
rather than pursuing a determined
course by the direction of settled con-
victsons of personal duty"
