Propose Divorce Remedies.
On the subject of divorce, the
bishops declared that a "frightful
condition" existed. They proposed as
remedies the standardization of di-
vorce laws of the various common
wealths, the immediate enactment of
a federal divorce law to provide uni
formity in dealing with the matter,
and "a return to the former Ideals
of personal virtue, modeSty and So
Cial propriety."
The record is" the report asserted,
that 1873, 900 American families were
wrecked by divorces in one recen!
year e In the last twenty
years, 3.767 600 men and women Sc
cured divorce papers. This involved

Hit FriyoIity of Times.
Among the causes given for this
condition were the frivolous temper
of the times, the dissemination OF
loose views fidiCule of the old-fash-
ioned virtues, the passion for luxury,
pernicious inCitement OF modern nc
tion and drama, and. above all. the
loss of the sense of God and OF moral
responsibility.
Stating the church law against the
marriage of all divorced persons eX-
cept the innocent parties in divorce,
"upon the one spiritual ground, the
bishops recommended summary deal-
ingS with ministers or members VINO

The removal of the present amuse-

the work of the church, especially
among young people. The leg
islation embodied there has not cor
rected the evils named as delrl-

people" ~,
The bishops then proposed that the
general conference adopt legislation
which would substitute pronlpltioh
against the taking of such diver
sions as cannot be enjoyed in the
name of Christ Passing to the

Abiding to the theological con-
troversies of other churches in re-
cent years, the bishops said:

a living church is its power of ad-
justment But without ecclesiastical

peculiar freak of nature, which
is a cross between a rabbit and
a cat and is known as a ''rab-

has the head of a cat, cushioned

Instead of running like a cat,
the animal jumps around like a
