UNITED FIGHT ON DIVORCES SOUGHT
Bishop Manning Urges All Creeds to Unite in Campaign

New York, March 8 F-Censurlng many high social leaders as setting morally destructive examples, Bish- op William T. Manning Of the dio- cese of New York believes that the time has come for church unity to stamp out the evils of divorce.
 In A Lcnton sermon yesterday, Bishop Manning asserted that many 1 tendencies in modern divorccS were leading directly to the abolition Of monogamy and the substitution Of pogyamy
 'I think the time has come when all churchcs--Catholic, Protestant and Jewish--should join in common effort for the preservation Of mar riago and the home" he said, "I should like 10 seo the whole united influence of religion exerted in this great common cause"
 Tho Bishop quoted figures showing ono divorce for every five marriages In Ohio; ono to 3.0 in Texas: one to 5.S in Michigan and l, 900 divorccs to every 90o marriages in Nevada. There is now one divorce to every seven marriages. he said
 "Plainly this treatens the very cx~ istenco Of the family as an institu- 1 tion," he said. Tt is destroying the meaning of marriage and 1t is mak- ing 1t only temporary arrange | rnort "a L,, +orrotpatad n, ,Ia n.l,;,,, of either party to 1t. Homes cannot ] he built and cannot endure on such a foundation.
 "Ono of tho worst features of the situation is the unsocial. irrcsponsi - 1 blc, morally destructive example given by many who arc regarded as holding high social position, who have had every advantage of educa- ton and whose influence should count for higher things"
 A few weeks ago Bishop Manning announced his opposition 10 modifi- cation Of the Nol8tcad act and re- gently he favored state enforce ment measure,
