In Memoriam

(Conntr;buted)

y David Irons was born in 1868 and
left Columbia after he was grown and
came to Newberry where he was mar
:ried to Pauline Kennedy on Sept. 20,
1888. Unto them were born four
children, two of which survive: Mamie
Young and Kate Irons.
He was a man of tender compass
sion, always ready to lend helping
hand to the bereaved and distressed
and was well known for deeds of kind
ness by all who knew him. He was in
LII health for two or more years but
kept on the go until he took his bed
about two weeks ago and died on
Sept. 18th at 1880 o'clock p. m., in
,the 58th year of his age.
Whenever any one went to his bed
side he would wave his hand upward
and cry and also smile. He was asked
if the Lord had blessed his soul and
he bowed his head for yes and showed
an signs that he was saved.
He leaves behind him to mourn his
loss two daughters, four grand-chil-
.dren, one sister and two adopted sis
ters and number of relatives and
friends.

BISHOP GUERRY's
DIVORCE VIEWS
Head of South Carolina Episcopal
Church, Preaching at Trinity, New
York, Attracts Attention

Much interest has been attracted
in the East by statements of the
Right Rev. William A. Guerry, D. D.,
bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of
South Carolina, on the question of
divorce. Bishop Guerry filled the pull
pit Of Trinity church, NeW York, who
is acting rector until the congrega-
tion calls a minister.
X The Boston Herald published the
following dispatch from New York
t'The Right Rev. William A. Gusr7
ry, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese
of South Carolina, in an interview
this evening pointed out that the An
.glican episcopate throughout the
world has placed itself on record as
against the renarriage of person
diorced for any cause.
'He preached today at Trinity
Episcopal church, where he is the
preacher every Sunday this month.
BY Invitation of Bishop
81 am the preacher in Trinity
church for the month of August by
invitation of Bishop Manning, and
Trinity is still his own church-and
for me to express my opinion about
this very delicate matter of DIR.
Grant would be entirely improper and
show a lack of consideration for my
friend, fellow bishop ard old class
mate, Bishop Manning" he said.
Bishop Manning is perfectly
competent to deal with this very deli
cate question: lie continued. How
ever, he gave an interview on the
question of marriage and divorce IN
general and said that not only was
his church and state against divorce
ON any ground but that he as bishop
would not let any of his clergy per-
form the ceremony for any marriage
in which one of the contracting par
ties had been divorced upon any
ground.
=" The house of bishops at the tri-
ennial general convention of the
Episcopal church, held in Detroit two
years ago. said Bishop Guerry,
voted in favor Of the indissolubaity Of

the marriage relation. But the house
of deputies refused to concur. There
fore, it did not be- >me law.
"He recalled that from the time
she became state, South Carolina in
the days of the colonies wrote it into
her law folDidding remarriage after
divorce on any ground.
"'You can't get divorce in my
state on any ground whatsoever, he
said, South Carolina will grant a
legal separation, but the husband has
to support the children. Husband and
wife can get this separation but they
cannot marry another.
Universal Approval
81 believe that there is not law
on the statute books placed there in
the last $50 years which meets with
such universal approval. And l don't
believe there is any state which has
a purer home life than ours. The
st. Cecilia Society of Charleston,
which is the oldest social club in the
state, very exclusive and much
sought after organization, gives three
balls every winter and their standing
rule is that no man, or woman di-
IVorced and remarked can ever be in
ivited to one of these social functions.
1t is the or,y institution of the kind
taat 1 knew of in America which
maintains that standard.
:" we find from actual experience
that it acts as deterrent and has

even greater influence in preventing
divorces outside the state than any
law on the statute books. Social os-
tracism people dread almost more
than any other punishment.
s'Bishop Guerry then spoke in more
detail of the growing desire in the
Episcopal church to make the remar-
riage of divorced person for any
reason against the canon law.
"The question came up before the
Lambeth conference in England last
summer, he said, 'and after long and
earnest debate, which lasted for sew
'eral days, the bishops voted by large

say unto you, Whosoever shall put
away his wife except it be for forni-
cation, and shall marry another, COM
mitteth adultery; and whose marrieth
her which is put away doth commit
adultery
" 1t is on the except in the above
verse that canon AZ of the constitu-
,tion and canons of the Episcopal
church permits if the bishop of the
diocese APPROVES, the remarriage of
the innocent person if the other per
son, was unfaithful. One year, how
eer, must elapse before a marriage

ision as they saw fit.
My own policy, although the
American church allows remarriage
after diorce for one cause only, is
one of absolute disapproval Of di-
vorce. In South Carolina the STAN
dard of the state is higher than that
of the church.

give permission to any of my clergy
to remarry persons divorced on any
ground whatsoever.

In St. Matthew Alone
4 do not believe in divorce on
any ground and therefore | do not
believe in remarriage. The fact that

gospel is found in that gospel alone,
and that St. Luke does not make an

ars to look with suspicionscn the sin

SECRETARY HUGHES ENGLISH

Not every man is able to say nO and invest the word with a negative meaning strong enough to conclude discussion or bring ncgo tiations to an end. There are men who are able to speak the word in business transaction speak it pleasantly, yet so firmly the negative note is clear, the finality unqucstioned Others speak the word and are unable to make 1t sound firm without carrying a sting that bringc re sentiment. There are bankers in all cities who can refuse a loan in manner so diplomatic that the application has no thought of resentment, however, bitterly he may be disappointed. It is proof of high-class managerial ability to be able to listen well, yet conclude business mat ter speedily, pleasantly and with certainty.
 Secretary of State Hughes appears to have the gift of speech that is courteous but con elusive, pleasantly spoken yet with the no of fnality impressively plain. With him the word no has a negative meaning. He employed few her request and passing judgment on her pro posas, yet he made his position certain, more than plain to all who read. He settled in few words that international gold bricks could not be sold to this government, nor could America be used as convC nience in questionable under taking. It was clear, courteous, plain English, in keeping with the highest ideals of the nation. It was what was needed.

rather not have awakened.
But he did tell Woof Woof all

and the thousand little spears hidden

Skunk and that little bag OF scent he
carries. You see, he knew that some

that she would make no such mis-
takes as he had made.
