For Preaching Job

San FRANCISCO, Nov 15.-(P) : DR..
James l.. Gordon. pastor of the
wealthy First Congrega tional Church
of San Francisco. is quitting his pull
pit to preach"
His reason is set forth in an article
written by himself in the December
number of Sunset Magazine, in which
he declares he will organize me
tropolitan church in some suitable
American city. and will preach to
Catholic, Protestant, Jew and Orient
al alike.
Nobody will be asked to believe
anything or to subscribe to any
creed or to join any organization, s.
says the article. The relationship OF
the metropolitan pulpit to its audi
ence viii he the same as the rela-
tionship of high class theater to it's
patrons, only stronger because spir-
itualized by the force of a higher
motive"
Il would rather preach to 5000 on
small salary than devote my time
to 500 soul-seasoned saints. even
though they could support me in lux
ury and comfort and guarantee an
old age pension as a fitting climax to
a useful life.

London Interested
In Annulment of
Marlborough Marriage

London, Nov. i5.-(P)--The strange
case of the annulment OF the mar
riage between the Duke OF MARI
borough and Consuelo Vanderbilt af-
ter twenty years of married life, the
birth of two children and d divorce.
is attracting immense attention here
and there is great searching of pre-
cedents and records of the law of the
Roman Catholic church.
Since their divorce, the duke has
married Miss Gladys Deacon and
Consuelo has entered into matrimon-
ial ties with Jacques Balsan of
France. The original marriage was
performed with the rites of the Epis-
copal church, while in their second
unions both the duke and Consuelo
married Catholics.
One explanation seems to be that
ConSuelo, DESTROYS of reSuIarizing
her marriage with Colonel Balsan in
the eyes of the Catholic church,
sought Il decree of annulment from
Rome. The Catholic church refuses
to recognize divorce and therefore
regarded the Balsan marriage as in
valid.
The ecclesiastic circles are author
ity for the statement that the former
duchess made her appeal for annul-
ment on the ground that she had
been induced to marry Marlborough
by influences brought to bear upon
her by her mother, now Mrs. O. H. r.
Belmont, and other relatives. She
was IL years of age at the time. TAX
ing this into accounts, the Holy Rota
tribunal in Rome confirmed the YER
dict of annulment by the diocesan
court in Southwark.
In further explaining the action OF
the court, the bishop OF Southwark
Is quoted az saying:
The marriage OF the Duke OF
Marlborough and Consuelo Wander
bilt was declared null because.
through fear, she did not give her
willing, but only her unwilling con-
sent to he contract. Therefore there
never was a marriage contract and
though they may have lived together
Tor over twenty years they were
never married.
This is totally different from a
divorce. In a case of annulment the
contract of marriage has never exist
ed, being vitiated by an existing i'm
rediment or by the absence of a con-
dition essential to Christian marriage
either in the nature of things or by
the law of the church.
In Miss Vanderbilts case the es-
sential condition of free consent was
wanting, for she was forced to give
1T under pressure of grave fear, I'M
justly and injustly brought to bear
upon her"
The decree of nullity given by the
religious court has no legal effect
ON the civil marriage and therefore
has no bearing on the two children.
1t merely entitled the affected to
marry Roman Catholics according to
the rites of the Catholic church
