That sort of thing used to make
a big hit. A man of 25 took unto
himself a maiden of Is and was
henceforth to her, not only husband,
but moral monitor, mental overseer
and section boss. She looked up to
him as if he were some special pro-
tector from heaven, and indeed the
poor little thing had been brought
up to believe JUS: that. For did not
that famous bachelor, st. Paul, say,
wives, submit yourselves unto
your own husbands, as unto the
Lord?"
Cling to Bible Text
The men have always chung joy
ously to this Biblical text, overlook
ing. many others that might have
added much to their wisdom.
In those long ago days the girls
had to marry young because under
The hard work and excessive child
bearing they were ready for the
grave at 35, and many were the
grand old patriarchs who took unto
themselves four or five brides.
And many were the weak young
girls who married older men and
became both physical and mental
slaves, never permitted an opinion
of their own.
The man who wants a wife merely
because she can be easily led has
already proved his incapacity to be
a good husband, because marriage
should be something higher than
such combination, leader and one
to be led.
Anticipated Advice
Also the advice Of this minister
is Anticipated. Once upon a time
it may have been apt, but the
twentieth century wife need not be
so much younger than her husband.
She can hold her own with him in
looks, in brains, in age. and I doubt
