two persons who have ceased to love each other should be compelled to live together. We know it. Our sympathy goes out to the unhappy pair. But, what about our nation? What about our homes? What about our little children? Have they no rights
 What about religion? Is marriage no longer sacred thing? Has it fall en to the level of business transac- tion? If that is all, the home is shattered and the national life is then doomed, for the nation rests on homes, not in individuals.
 Everybody knows that two-thirds of the required causes for divorce such as cruelty, desertion and non-support, are nothing but pretexes, often agreed upon by both parties. It is so easy that men and women are not stopping to consider whether they are fit for each other or not; whether they wish to live together or not, but rush into marriages as lightly as in Paris, two members of the Latin quarter go and live together for a time.
 "There is a wave of loose thinking abroad. Families should practice Christian patience, forbearance and forgiveness. Love has to be tempered with religion, as do all other things, to run smoothly, and divorces would be reduced almost half. It is signifi- cant thing, if it is true, that few di- vorces ever come from homes engaged in actice church connections or Chris tian service"

The first is that hair which

The next is that accumulate
