Answer: I would put the matter

could take her choice between do

Marriage is partnership in which
both of the contracting parties must do
their part If the firm of Benedict &
Co, is to'be successful. A man has a
right to demand that his wife shall do
her share of the work as well as get
her share of the profits. Therefore, if
an Industrious, energetic and thrifty
young man finds that he has married a
woman who is lazy and no-accOunt, and
who refuses to do her part of the work,
he has perfect right to dissolve the
partnership.
If every young wife knew that
she held her job on good behavior

the grounds in the coffee pot would

CLEVELAND, May 30.-The
ecclesiastical court that is trying
Bishop William Montgomery
Brown for the ancient crime Of.
heresy applied al acceIeratOr to
the proceedings today and the
defense of the aged clergyman got
under way in a clatter Of near
fireworks.
Bishop John Murray Gardner,
presiding, at one time threatened
to prevent any Of Bishop Browns
witnesses from taking the stand
unless Joseph w. STARTS, chief
counsel for Bishop Brown, short
ened his arguments.
Verdict Considered Certain.
Possibly today, or maybe tomor-
row, the white-haired Bishop Of the
Infidels" will be found guilty Of
doctrinal error ty the court CT eight
'fundamentalists" hearing the case,
and as such he will be deposed from
the church in which he has spent
nearly half century.
This verdict is considered as Ger.

of winning even a partial victory in
the celebrated case fled when the
bishopric court decided-unanimous
ly-that the .nine-year-old de-
PENDANT could not summon the ties.

through the ages rather than the
handiwork of God, as set forth in
the Book of Genesis.
Important Point Lost.

moderns as the Reverend Doctor

erend William Norman Gutherie.

from the pulpit of their churches
expressed the belief that the story

New Testaments as beautiful bits

tics" remained.
The eight bishops who constitute
his judge and jury contemplated
this point but briefly. Their de-
cision that 1t made no difference
what other bishops might or might
not believe was unanimous and
quickly arrived at.
The very celebrity with which they
voted to exclude the opinions of
other clergy led to considerable
speculation today as to whether
other "heresy" trials are not to
follow in the wake Of Bishop
Browns conviction. BY many, this
case is considered IN the nature of
a test, and the precedent once es-
tablished, may be called upon again.
