WHY MANY DIVORCES.

Speaking of divorce, Father Stuart,
pastor of St. Patrick's church, Wau.
kon, Iowa, says:
1t is to be noted that this cancerous
growth on the body polite is of re.
cent origin. Divorce was most infre,
quent among the colonial fathers and
mothers who toiled and fought that
we might enjoy liberty. The sturdy
pioneers of the Civil War were men
of loyalty to wife and babies as. well
as to Lincoln and the Union. Now,
let us be fair-blame not the recent
foreign arrivals, they are home low
ers. No, it is our own second and
third generations, degenerate off
springs of noble sires, who play the
wanton and keep the divorce mills
grinding.
Reform follows reform, but the rec
ord grows worse instead of better.
Blame is placed on the war, woman's
dress, prohibition, the movie, the au-
tenlobile, on everything except the
lack of religion in bride and groom.
With 60,000.000 of the American
people churchless and without def
mite religious belief, the average mar.
rage is contract voidable at the
will of the parties. The marriage
ceremony and ensuing bond have LOST
their sacredness. Reform. Reform
is the cry, but what is the Reform
which we desire to realize? In the
words of Chesterton, man may love

After forty years of devotion to the
evangelization of the unfortunate ma.
tives in Natal and adjacent districts,
the German missionaries have brought
thousands to the True Faith. There
are thirty large mission stations at

hill. There is one several hundred
miles distant There are besides 43O
exterior stations and dependent
houses. tsA
Fifty-nine priests, 162 brothers and
337 sisters are laboring in these mis-
sions. There are 1850 pupils i'm the

Christians in the territory in the ju.

about 100000. The larger part of the
district was elevated last autumn to
a. Vicariate Apostolic.
During the war the work of the
missions was practically abandoned,
because most of the priests, brothers
and sisters were interned and denied
any sort Of communication with their
former associates or their native
charges. For time after the war
the difficulties were hardly less. II

windows and lots of them, but he
cannot have them without house.
He may clamor for liberation by di-
vorce, but it is folly to claim liber-
alton unless he is bound, and he can
be bound only by the choice of his
own will, not even by the changes of
the moon, though some say lovers
are so affected. Chesterton's ques-
ton is indeed pertinent. What in
the name of God does a man sup
pose be is doing when he is getting
married?
The Catholic Church, the mother
of all Christian. Churches, tells the
bridal pair what they ought to have
in mind and teaches the true form.
Opening the first book of the old
Testament, we learn that Our Father
in Heaven has shared his creative
power with fathers and mothers.
Children spring, not from stones or
trees, nor even directly from the
Divine mind. Male and female-God
made and blessed them, saying, In
crease and multiply" and when Jesus
Christ, the Goldman, came He blessed
the humble couple at Cana and every
Christian marriage by His presence
and saved them from humiliation by
changing water into wine for their
guests. and His disciples believed in
Him. Matrimony is a sacrament by
which a Christian man and woman
are united in lawful marriage. 1t is
free and final choice, pledge, a
sacred vow by which bride and groom
are made one moral person until
death. Out of all woman-kind he
chooses one as his life companion, and
she chooses him. Hand in hand they
pledge their troths. The citizen, the
soldier, the public officer, pledges
loyalty even unto death in the dis
charge of duty. Marriage is the first
fundamental pledge on which all

/ want to be able as days go by
Always to look myself in the eye.
I don't want to stand, with the set

And hate myself for the things I've
done.
l want to go out with my head erect
want to deserve all mems respect;
But here in the struggle for fame and

want to be able to like myself,
don't want to look at myself and
That I'm buster and bluff and empty

Whatever happens want to be
Self-respecting and conscience free.

HOW IDLENEss RusTs MEN.

The New York City Health and Po-
lice departments retire men after long
service on fairly decent pension.
On leaving the service of the city the
vast majority of these men resume
some sort of activity after few weeks
or months of rest from labor. In per.
spectiye, idleness seems most desira.
Bile, but in reality it is too irksome
to be endured.
Good health depends on mental and
physical activity. No man can be hap
by or physically normal unless he
keeps busy, using his mind and mus
cles as he has been accustomed to
using them all his life.

Pre-eminent Holiness.


He is also pre-eminently holy, He
loves all that IS good, and hates all
that is evil Nothing in creation can
give us an adequate idea of His pu-
rity and holiness. The spotless white
snow, the blue canopy of heaven, the
sparkling dewdrops, the crystal four,
tain. even the very angels in heaven
with their unstained angelic nature
can bear no comparison with Him.,
for His purity is identical with His
infinite perfection He seems to sin
gle out this attribute, and appeals to
us to initiate it. BE. We holy as | am
holy" LEV. XII, 44) Why is the white
robe given in baptism, and many
other ceremonies of the Church, but
to impress on us the fact that we are
Gods children and should initiate our
Father in purity and holiness?
No Respecter of Persons.
Again God is infinitely just; that
is, He rewards every good action, and
Furnishes every evil deed. His re,
wards and punishments are some
| times in this life, but principally after
death He is no respecter of persons,
but deals out without distinction of
rank in this world Many, who are in
high places here will be among the
last hereafter. He, however, always
| takes into account the circumstances
| and the knowledge of the individual,
| for this increases or diminisheS the
malice or merit of the action. We
usually find also that He Furnishes PEG,

sinned. Absalom prided in his beau.

The rich glutton committed sin in eat.
ing and drinking, and with hunger
and thirst he was punished. "By what
things man sinneth, by the same he
is also tormented." Since we know
that punishment will surely follow
every unrepented sin, we have every
F, reason to avoid sin and fear God
Rather fear Him, Who can destroy
both body and soul in hell" (Math
Iv, 28.)
| Sin Most to Be Dreaded.
Sin is in fact that greatest of all
evils, and nothing else should be
dreaded so much. 1t was sin that
brought all the misery into this world
and made the tragedy of Calvary nee
essary. God, therefore, detests it and
will assuredly be stern judge in pun
ishing it. Let us then be mindful OF
the words of Holy Scripture-"The
fear of God is the beginning of wis
dom. FPS. OK, 10) Our fear should
not, however, be servile, but filial
since it is a father that holds our pun
ishment only for our correction,
Finally, God is all truth and alb
solutely faithful God is omniscient
and therefore cannot be deceived, and
from the fact that He is all-holy, He
cannot deceive. God is not a man
that He should lie" Numb. xiii
49, There is an old Latin proverh
''errare 8 humanum este error is
human. Man is always making mis-
takes, either morally or intellectually
Hence, why governments have laws OF
correction, and why they are continu
ally changing their laws. With Coo
it is quite different. He is morally
perfect, and infinitely wise, conse
quently He can neither make a mis-
take nor prove unfaithful in His prom
ises. He is THE same yesterday, to
day, and forever"

REGARD FOR HEROES WISHES
Judge Neterer OF Seattle Holds Re-
quest of Soldier Killed in War
Demands First Consideration.

is the last wish Of soldier dying
on the field of battle more to be re-
spected than legal forms decked out
with sealing wax? The American
Legion thinks it is. Recent cases be-
fore the courts have brought the ques-
ton to the front. According to Federal
Judge Neterer of Seattle, the wish of
a soldier killed in battle is higher law
than any departmental regulation. Ac-
cording TO this decision Agnes Claffy,
siXteen-year old niece of Clarence
SWank, is awarded the residue Of
SWank's estate, amounting to $4,000.
Swank was killed in France. Depart
mental red tape cluttered up the case
ON account of the death of Swank' S
mother, the original beneficiary. In
handing down his decision Judge
Neterer cited precedents extending
back to the days of Caesar and the
legionnaires Of ancient Rome.
The latest case is that of Miss
Elenore r. Knapp Of New York, whose
claim to the estate of Ernest Charl-
ton Mason of the One Hundred and
Sixth United States infantry has been
contested by Mason's uncle. In a
muddy dugout before a general adj
vance against the Germans, Mason
told his buddie, Oscar Westgate, the
story of his engagement, and added
that he now felt that in this advance
he was slated to 'go West" IF /
don't come through this" he said, as
they started over the top, II want Ell
enOre to have all my estate"
Mason, among others, was cut off
and captured by the Germans. They
were taken to the same prison camp.
For ten days, bunkie testified Mason
lay i'll on the ground with influenza.
Then he was taken away in an ambu-
lance and his death reported. Event
ually a death certificate was issued
by the United States government. But
the attorneys for Mason's uncle con-
tested the case to the extent of argu-
ing that the proof of death" was I'M
satisfactory.
The justice of the soldiers latest
will has been upheld in startling fash
ion by the highest courts of England
recently. An English major of in
fantry died alone in his lodgings in
London directly after the armistice.
He left no legal will Across the front
of a photograph of his fiance he
had hastily scrawled: "All to her."
The case was brought before the high
est tribunal of England and the will
stood.

| widespread application. SO, hitting
| the ball is not all of golf. Mechanical
skill with the clubs is very far from
! being all there is to the game.
Certain benefits, such as fresh air,
exercise and the rest that comes from
! change of scene and occupation are
obvious. There is no way to reach
that mysterious thing which we call
the brain, except through the muscles
and the senses. Therefore to play
hard and happily in the open air is
at once the best antidote and prepara-
ton for work. Walking is good, but
it doesn't always prevent the mind
from keeping on with it's troubles !:
Here's where golf comes in and fills
the bill. You can't play golf and keep
your mind on something else.
Students of games say that the very
best game in the world is old-fashioned
American poker. Why? Because it
is the happiest possible combination
Of skill and tuck. There are people
who hold that a finished course in
poker is the nearest equivalent to a
lDeral education.
A game of golf, by the way, can
be made several games in one You
may play, for instance. against an
opponent, against Colonel Bogie, and
against your own best score.
Golf may or may not equal poker
as Liberal education" but unless the
player is fool golf will teach him
many things.
Golf has always taught sobriety. A
man cannot play good golf unless he
keeps his eye on the ball and the
average man cannot drink and keep
his eye on the ball.
Golf teaches mental concentration.
One can't just hit the ball and trust to
luck. He's got to wake up his mind
to do certain thing. and try his best
to do it.
Golf teaches self-mastery. A man
can't lose his temper and play golf.
He can't lose his nerve and play golf.
He can't lose his head and play golf.
Golf teaches honesty-as many a
man has learned to his surprise. How
often has man who wouldn't cheat
on his score been tempted to improve
the lie of his ball? Some men who
wouldn't cheat an opponent have found
themselves cheating themselves.
Golf teaches good spOrtsmaps'iip.
; What is the good sportsman? lie is
the gentleman of sport. Many a nan
is sportsman enough to lose grace
fully; it is harder for many TO win
gracefully.
Golf teaches man to pick out the

their "cow-pasture pool" The golf
clubs of the country could be counted
in less than two figures. 1t was
called a rich mans game and an old
mans game.
Now, Chicago-using it as an ex-
ample of the change-has SO large
golf clubs each with a long waiting
list. 1t has many small clubs. 1t
has eleven municipal courses, with
four more in immediate prospect and
pressing need for double the number
on the public links IN Lincoln park
last year 10000 people teed off. 1t
has successful commercial courses.
Many commercial and industrial bodies
are forming their own clubs. For in
stance the other day representatives of
the printing industry and allied trades
formed the Printing Trades Golf asso-
citation with &C charter members. 1t
will hold three tournaments this sea-
son. Even the high schools have their
annual tournaments for boys and
girls.
Cities vary greatly in their attitude
goes in for expensive golf in exclusive
clubs. Membership probably costs ST.
600 year in least twenty-six of its
clubs. 1t has not a single municipal
golf course.
Seattle, by way of contrast, is build
ing a second municipal course from the
profits of the one established in 1915.
SO many people are playing golf
that the American Forestry associa-
ton is getting anxious Thus far the
advocates of forest conservation have
been generous enough not to look with
extreme disfavOr on the use of wood
for golf clubs. but if golf continues
TO win adherents at the rate it has in
the past few years, and the factories
are forced to double their OUTPUT of
shafts for golf clubs, one hesitates to
say what will happen. Since two mil
lion people are said to be handling
golf sticks and since these people are
said to own from ten To sixteen million
Of them, the amount of wood used for
their production is no small quantity.
In fact the stee-shafted club has
already made its appearance. The
United States Golf association has
barred its use; the Western Golf asso-
citation, at this writing, has made no
ruling on the subject.
