maintaining that divorce is multiply
ing so rapidly that the marriage tie
will IN time cease to be the real bond,
the Rt. Rev. A. J. McGavick, Bishop
Of La Crosse in an address at Prairie
du Chen before the Catholic WOmen's
state convention, sounded a note Of
warning. The bishop in part said

prominence in public life should be
utilized. Evils threaten which con-

protection of children and young
girls and indeed of all youth from
the soul destroying influences Of our
day is a task peculiarly theirs. But
the chief concern of women at the
present moment should be the pres
ervatiOn of the Christian home.
There is a strong movement today to-
ward the complete elimination of the
home as we have known it. With the
increase of divorce very soon the tie
of marriage will cease to be a real
Bond. With the increase Of divorce
ether practices utterly hostile to
Christian ideals, are creeping into
she home to complete the ruin"
