1,883,000 DIVORCES
STARTLING STATISTICS FOR PAST
TWENTY YEARS IN AMERICA
GIVEN BY EPISCOPAL BISHOP.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service.

Easy divorce is the public poison
which is corrupting the ideals Of fam
lily life in the United States is the
opinion OF the Right Rev. William
Hall Moreland, Episcopal Bishop of
the Diocese of Sacramento, in dis
cussion of the prevalence, growth, and
probable effects of the divorce evil in
America during the past twenty years.
During that period, Bishop Moreland
says, statistics reveal that 1857 900
persons have been separated by di-
vorce in the United States. "Disguis-
ing it's deadly character under the
form Of sympathy for mismated in
dividuals, the divorce poison gradual
ly destroys the Christian conception
of marriage as a permanent relation y
the Bishop declared
1t is estimated that 1883, 900 homes
have been wrecked by divorce in the
United States during the period COW
cred by the investigation, and in these
separations the rights and happiness
of 1,138,000 children were involved.
The effects of the divorce of parents
upon the lives of their children are
shown, it is claimed, by the fact that
over forty per cent of the children in
the public institutions and reforma-
tories of California are the offspring
of divorced parents, while similar re-
suits have been obtained by investiga-
tions carried on in other states.
In Nevada, which heads the list in
number of divorces granted per 100,-
900 of population, ratio Of one di-
vorce to every 1.54 marriages is re-
vealed. South Carolina is the only
state in the Union which does not
permit divorce
Bishop Moreland asserts that the
only effective method of combating
the growth of divorce lies in arousing
and educating public opinion to point
where such practices will meet with
universal condemnation. But he
points out that laws making it difficult
to obtain legal separations with the
privilege of remarriage have had some
degree of success in checking the
prevalence of the evil

REV. DR.. o'RRlEN DISCOVERS
METHOD OF GAINING SPEED IN
READING - WORK PRAISED AS.
SIGNAL ACHIEVEMENT.
fBy N. C. w. C. News service.)


Some interesting discoveries as to
the causes of slow and rapid reading
are disclosed in the report of an inves-
tigation conducted by the Rev. John
A, O'Brien, Ph. d., Chaplain to the
Catholic students at the University of
Illinois. Father O'Brien, working in
conjunction with the Bureau of Edu-
cational Research, studied the factors
conditioning the development of speed
in the silent reading of 400 pupils
in ten cities in Illinois. AS the result
OF psychological experimentation
methods of training were devised
which increased the speed of the pu-
pills reading from 80 per cent to 125
per cent without any impairment of
the comprehension.
The investigation discloses the
striking fact that no reading occurs
while the eyes are moving along a
printed line, but only during infini-
tesimally brief pauses of which the
reader is usually unconscious. A
unique feature contained in the pub
lished work is number of photo
graphic records of the eye movements
of the readers, which were taken in
the psychological laboratory at the

ON FRENCH RELATIONS
COMMITTEE TIED ON QUESTION
BUT A FAVORABLE REPORT
is EXPECTED.

Animated discussions of the re-es-
tablishment of the embassy at the Vat
ican have been resumed in the press
and in the lobbies of the French Par
lament as a result of the appearance
of M. BRAND before the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs.
At his hearing before the Senate
Committee, M. BRAND formally recon-
mended the adoption of the project,
giving all the reasons of foreign and
domestic policy which make an early
vote imperative. Among other things,
he declared that the renewal of rela-
tions with the Vatican should not be
subordinated to an agreement as to
the future legal status of the Church
in France. The most important point
is to renew the indispensable rela
tions with the Papacy as soon as pos
sible. La CroiX, the largest French
Catholic newspaper, heartily approves
of this opinion.

THE SACRED THORN
MIRACLE or THORN WITNESSED
IN TWO ITALIAN CITIES,

On Good Friday the famous mira
Gle of the thorn" occurred in Bari
Italy, in the basilica of ST. Nicola
1t was witnessed by the authorities
and large congregation of the faith
full. The miracle is that the thorn of
the true crown becomes blood-red.
The miracle, occurs only when Good
Friday occurs on the Feast of the An
nunciation.
On the same day the same miracle
was witnessed in the Cathedral of
Andria, where one of the thorns of
the true crown is preserved in the
chapel of San Ricardo. For many
centuries this miracle has occurred
there whenever Good Friday falls on
| the Feast of the Annunciation. On
| this occasion it was witnessed by the
authorities, large congregation of the
| faithful and several doctors, who ex
amined and certified the occurrence
and drew up formal report. Mon
| signor Virili, who had been sent by
the Holy Father, was also an eye
| witness. 81

Among the means that can be recon-
mended, one-yery simple and appar-
emily too lately discovered-would be
to keep the church doors open outside
of the hours of service, for instance,
from to p. M People would come,
some to visit the churches, others to
pray or mediate, and in the vestibule
volunteer workers could be stationed
to sell or distribute with tact and dis
cretion, Testaments, pamphlets and
hooks, and thus assure a large diffu-
sion of our Protestant literature
Data from the latest annual Agenda
of French Professionalism offer a fair
opportunity to form judgment of
"EvangelicaT' numbers in France.
There are altogether 77O Protestant
churches in France outside of Alsace-
Lorraine. These are in charge of
some 500 ministers. The Evangelical
Reformed body has 438 churches in
France and Algeria; the Reformed or
ganization, It's churches; Evangelical
Lutherans, Is churches; Methodist
Evangelicals, % churches; Franco
Belgian Baptists, 23 churches; Franco
Swiss Baptists, II churches, and inde-
pendent sects, "a churches.
In 1920, according to the Agenda,
but Ct candidates for the ministry
were graduated from the two Protes-
tant faculties of theology in Paris and

AND TURKS

British deport Irish people and cast
warrant; the Turks burn Armenian
crops, destroy Armenian factories,
drive Armenian women and children
from their homes; the British burn
Irish crops, destroy Irish factories,
drive Irish women and children from
their homes; the Turks lay waste Ar
menian cities, towns and villages, the
British lay waste Irish cities, towns
and villages; the Turks raid converts
and slay priests, the British raid con.
vents and slay priests.
Can the Manchester Guardian list
one Turkish crime that cannot be
matched or over-matched by British
crime? Impossible But the Turk
can list a British crime which cannot
be matched by Turkish crime. The
British not only rape, torture, starve,
slay their victims, but they also de-
fend these acts. The Turks never do
this, they admit their crimes, they
glory in them. The British paint their
beastly eXcesses as virtues done in
behalf of law, order, civilization and
decency, outraged by the Irish victims,
some of whom are little girls, wicked
with all wickedness of Irish country
children who have reached the mature
age of eight and ten years and are,
of course, adopts in all the vilenesS
and violence that threaten law, order,
civilization and decency.
Surely the British, at least British
officials, are Turks with this only diff
ference, the latter are not hypocrites,
but just plain, everyday brutes.

the latest slogan of the French Prot
estant denominations which announce
their intention to begin a more COM
prehensive and vigorous campaign of
proselytism, with the help of Amer
ican Methodists and former workers
with the Y. M. C. A.
In the appeal seLt broadcast by
different sects to their pastors in
Paris it is admitted that the Protes-
tant churches are ignored by the
masses, and it is in the hope of over
coming this public indifference or
aversion to the "Evangelicals" that
the doors of the religious edifices are
to be kept open.

eau-T Thierry, over which flies the Am
erican flag, is center of Protestant
activities radiating through some
thirty-two villages in that battle-torn
region. In addition to its own staff
of director, religious superintendent
and treasurer, this Memorial has a
force of fifteen workers recruited
