ACT 1.-The Tree.

The tree is really the only place
for this hero, since Sir Hall Caine
has left no. solid earth for his feet
as a little attention to his argumenti
will show. For example. this:
"The exalted teaching OF Christ,
which Is above all laws of church
or state, and Is founded equally ON
spiritual and natural law, seems to
be the first and the last word on
that subject. CMarriage)
In this Sir Hall admits: ta0 That
Christ's teaching on the subject Of
marriage Is the final authority; b)
That 1t is above the laws"of church
:. and state: and (c) That 1t is founded
Ron both the spiritual and the natural
law.
Merely Q Denial.
He now, quite properly and logical
", goes on to state Christ's teach.
ing by the following texts Of Scrip
ture:
From the beginning God made
them male and female. For this
cause a man shall leave his father
and mother and cling to his wife.
And these two shall be one flesh
What, therefore, God hath
Joined together let no man put as'
under"
Having thus set down the teach.
ing, Sir Hall proceeds to give his
audience a bit Of hope for the hero,
thus:
'Tor nearly two thousand years
the church has understood these
words TO be the divine prohibition Of
divorce. sI humbly say that
they are nothing Of the kind"
He does not say what they are,
hut lust denies that they mean wnat
the church said they mean FOR near
Nv two thousand years..
The Divine Prohibition.
Now what does the church say
they mean? Just what the grea'
novelist states-divine prohibition
of divorce. Why? Because that IL
what the words really do say. There
are no statements in Scripture
couched in clearer form.
II Christ wanted to say what Sill
Hall means to teach He could have
done SO very easily by simple
nrocess. thus; "A man shall NOT
leave his father. and mother and
shall NOT cling to his wife. And
these two shall NOT be one flesh
-. What, therefore, God hatf
joined together LET man put
asunder."
Christ was a divine Teacher. He
dealt in truth. He came to say what
He meant men to accept. He could
use plain words II He wished and
He SO wished. Sir Halls nothing
OF the kind" implies that Christ said
one thing and meant another, OF
that the exact opposite Of a fact IL
the same as the fact itself; or that
NO means YES; or that DO 10 the
same as DO NOT; or that BE Is the
same as BE NOT.
SO the curtain OF. Act goes down
with the hero In the proper position
according to the old recipe for q
good play.

Adverse to Civil Law.
The Law Of the Episcopal Church
with regard to the -remarriage Of
divorce persons, forbidding It ex-
cept "to the innocent party In d.
vorce for adultery" takes q position
adverse to our civil law. No re-
ligious body ought to try to nullify
the civil law, and no clergymen
should countenance such q policy
in his church. Our republic Is op.
posed to direct religious interfer.
ence. but for the church to weaken
law by private legislation against

amounts to an invasion of the civil
power.

they try TO circumvent and under.
mine the law: IL they refuse to
honor a license duly signed by the

The Episcopal Church In It's regu.

divorced persons, except ''the inno-

has deserted the theory and tradition
Of Professionalism. II has reverted

ACT HI-Same Scene.

To get the hero down. Sir Hall
turns on church and state in cor
demnation, and writes:
"The law and the church, which
claim to make marriages. take no
care that they should be good
ones"
What would he have the law and
the church do? He says that mar.
riages are nearly always happy IL
there Is spiritual as well as phys
ical love" Very we'll. But what
has the law to do with spiritual and
physical love? What legislator has
the power to look into hearts and
qhestion souls?
Few people enter the marriage
state, who cannot truthfully say AT
the time that their love is both spir'
itual and physical. What policeman
at the registrars office can give then,
the lie? More to the point:
Who wants the state to interfere
in this sacred human right OF ones
personal choice Of life partner? No
one: not even Sir Hall Caine.
What about the church,, She sur
rounds the marriage ceremony with
every safeguard TO happiness in her
power. She holds II back for banns
to protect the validity OF the bond.
She instructs her children as to
it's sacred and binding character
She tries to impress the lesson upon
them by the solemnity and beauty
OF her ritual. She makes impcdt'
ments to guard both parents and Off
spring in their peace.
Eliminating the Discord.
She attempts to eliminate every
chance for discord. She elevates the
marriage contract to the dignity OF
a sacrament in order to bring re-
ligion, the font Of Gods grace, as a
guardian angel into a future home
and family which, she knows and
tecahes. 10 the unit upon which civ
ilized society Ia built. -
What more can she do? Yes,
there is one thing more that she
can do. She insists on the literal
meaning OF the words of Christ.
She says with Him: What, there
fore, God hath Joined together let
no man put asunder." .,
Therefore, does she say to Sir Hall
Caine. and to all others who play
tho dance Of death on the heart.
stringr OF sickly sentimentality, that
Gods law fs the one guarantee OF
happiness! and that obedience to Il.
under all circumstances, is the only
protection OF human civilization.

DOUBLES ARE

FAMOUS MEN

sicaI individuality In
Gre ater Degree.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-The re-
cent coincidence of the death of
King Edwards double and the
discovery in France Of a double
Of President Millerand recalls the
old theory that every man has
his physical counterpart.
Many Striking Cases. ~
1t is a theory believed by many
people, although there may be no
scientific basis for IL, in spite OF all
the many situations II has provided
for novelists and dramatists. 1t
seems to be the fact, however, that,
apart from twins, these resem.
biances are not dependent on any
relationship nor always on a com.
mon nationality.
Gladstone's double was a certain
statesman, who was
once mistaken for Gladstone by a
person in the town of Darlington.
This person was a great admirer OF
Gladstone, and attempted to ex.
press to his double the admiration
he felt.
His overtures were rejected with
marked rudeness, and when some
one who had watched the scene
with the Australian,
who did not love Gladstone. he re-
piled with some satisfaction.
"I hope have deprived Mr..
Of one admirer."
King Edwards Doubles.
King Edward had more than one
and there used to be in a
village near London a master
plumber with a striking resem-
blance to King George in his Duke
Of York days.
Lord weardale suffered at the
hands Of an infuriated suffragist
on account Of a likeness to Mr..
Asquith.
On the other hand. II is rarely
we hear of the, doubles OF famous
women or OF one woman being mis-
taken for another. Feminine in
seems to set the super.
stition at defiance. It Is true also
that eminent men rarely see the
likeness Of their doubles to them.
selves.
To the list OF doubles in public
like may be added one of the most
of all, the case Of the Lord
Airlie of the '70's. whose likeness
to Sir George Campbell was so
great that people were always mis-
taking one for the other.
On one occasion Joseph Cham
was at a dinner party, at
which. as he thought. he saw Sir
George Campbell, with whom he
was on familiar terms. and he
went up and hailed him in a
friendly but disrespectful fashion"
Airiic and Campbell.
Lord Alrlie merely remarked: cit
Ia all right. You take me for Sir
George Campbell. am used to it."
No less a person than Mr.. Glad.
stone made exactly the same mis-
take on a much more important oc-
casion, that of a great public meet
ing in Scotland.
Lord Airiie struggled at one time
to prevent similar mistakes by
wearing his ribbon" on occasions
where much gegaws were not ex.
pected, hoping that, as Campbell
had not this distinction, no mistake
could arise. Even here he was
foiled, for House OF Commons men
would be heard asking: what on
earth is that ribbon that Campbell
Is wearing tonight?"
Dilke's comment on this partic-
ular case is quite characteristic:
1T must have been a relief to
Campbell when Airlie died. but IL
would have been a greater relief
10 Lord Airlie had Campbell died
first"

He has neither the law nor the facts
