CODE OF
PRESBYTER|ANS TO
Be MEETING TOPIC
Local Church Men, at Coun-
Gil Session, May Debate
on Changes.

Indiana Presbyterians attending
the executive meeting Of the gener-
al council, which opened in Chicago
today, may have an opportunity to
debate proposals to change the di-
vorce code of the church.
Several ministers from through
out the State are present and the
Rev. II. r. Hostettel, Indianapolis,
executive secretary cf the Indiana
synod, and the Rev. John Trentice,
pastor of Sutherland Presby
terrain church, indianapolis, are also
attending.
Local ministers knew nothing Of
the projected change in divorce
rulings, however, according to the
Reverend Hostetter, and he declared
before leaving that he had not given
the matter consideration. In his
opinion the session was to be devoted
largely to budget matters.
To Submit Proposals
Realizing the Importance and
timeliness of the divorce question,
the church appointed DR.. William
o. Thompson, Columbus, Ohio, to
draw up such proposals as he sees
fit to present to the council.
If any changes are made it will
necessitate the changing Of the
Confession of Faith.
The Confession of Faith, as it now
stands, is, in substance.
I. It is unlawful for man to have
more than one wife Or for a wife to
have more than one husband.
2. Marriage was ordained for. the
mutual help of husband and wife;
for the increase of mankind with a
legitimate issue, and Of the church
with an holy seed; and for prevent
ing uncleanliness.
g. 1t Is the duty of Christians to
marry only in the Lord and there
fore they should not marry with in
fdels or otheri idolaters; neither
should the Cody be unequally
yoked. by marrying such as are
VIGOROUSLY wicked in the life or
maintain damnable heresies.
consequently
4. Marriage ought not to be with
in the degree of consanguinity or
affinity forbidden in the Word.
5. Adultry detected before the
marriage gives the innocent party
right to dissolve the contract. If de-
tected after marriage the innocent
party may sue for divorce and, II
granted, remarry.
6. Nothing but adultery or willful
desertion can be used as just grounds
for divorce.

RONDSMEN
f. MUST TOE
THE MARK
Deliver UItimatum
After Irregularities Are
Reported.

When winter comes, bringing
many law violators, police station
bondsmen usually do a thriving bust
ness. Such has been the case for
Years, but now comes something
which no doubt will deprive some Of
a few easy dollars. Bondsmen. jeal-
Gus of each others bulging pockets,
have started an investigation.
Reports have come to Municipal
Judges Dan V. White and Paul C.
Wetter that certain bondsmen are
signing bonds far in excess of their
property listed for taxation. One
bOndsman, jealous of a fellow work
er, "squealed" because his cohort
charged 5000 to get a man out of
Jail on a minor charge. Others have
submitted to the judges names Of
several men whose property is en-
numbered by bonds for more than
half its assessed value.
Meeting Called
With all these reports following
so closely the startling disclosure a
week ago that Certail lawyer, now
barred from municipal courts, had
attempted to hold his position as at
torney for three clients, by an
nouncing that he knew the judge
and could fix their case, the two
municipal judges called a meeting
of all bondsmen Monday aft arroon
in Judge Whites courtroom, making
it plain that all irregularities among
bondsmen would be investigated i'm
mediately and that any one found
violating any Of the specified rules
would be barred from signing bonds.
Tells e. New System
Opening the meeting, Judge
White said, you men have been
called here to learn of the new
system which has been mapped out
for you, namely that you cannot
sign bonds to exceed half the as
sessed valuation of your property,
and to hear that sweeping investi-
cation of the deplorable conditions
and rotten business methods, which
has attracted Statewide notoriety,
will be started at once"
The judges said they would ask
the Indiana Bar Association which
meets Wednesday night, to present
a bill at the coming session of the
State Legislature, STIMULATING the
amount a bondsmen may charge for
various cases. They also stressed
the fact that bondsmen should stay
out Of the courtroom and corridors.
