BY VIM. E. GILROY, d. D.
Editor of The Congregationalist

A LESSON dealing with the
n Christian family, and the
home ideals associated with the
teaching of Jesus, brings us to the
very heart of one Of the most acute
problems in American life today.
One need only study the statistics
of marriage and divorce in the
various States to discover that this
is true.
The proportion varies from about
one divorce in ten marriages in
the States with the best record to
as serious a situation as one di-
vorce to two or three marriages
in the States with the worst record.
AS happens in almost every similar
social situation there are those who
would seek the cure in encourag-
ing what others would regard as at
best a milder form of the disease.
This would seem to be involved in
the scheme Of "companionate mar
riage" proposed by Judge Lindsey OF
Denver. Can the disease thai affects
the home and that has weakened
the sanctity of the marriage rela-
ton be cured by concession to hui
man weakness or by arrangements
that have temporary ends in WE'VE
Sense Of Obligation
Can a home, with all that the
finest tradition has impaired to
that word, be established and
maintained where there is no
deeper sense of obligation between
individuals and in joint relation
to society, than is involved in
companionate marriage or in any
scheme that lessons the sanctity
or weakens the bond of marriage
as it has attained its climax in
Christian ideals?
One does not need to take the
view that mistakes are never
made, and that, having been made,
they should never be rectihed, to
believe that in general there is
little hope of the establishment
of a sound home life except upon
the principles of love and 10y
atty, of mutual confidence, mutual
responsibility, and mutual Sacri-
f1ce-the things that are all en-
shrined in the teaching Of Jesus.
There are situations where d.
vorce Is the commonsense solution
for a situation that cannot be
otherwise improved, and it is no
strength or support to the institu-
ton of marriage to make its sane
tity depend upon merely formal
things rather than upon the inner
ideals. Nor is there anything
sacred about a marriage that in
practice traduces all the canons
of love and righteousness.
A proper recognition of this would

ing his brows quizzically. Il con-
TESS was rather stunned, for Enid
doesn't go in for personal charity.
Huge checks AMI all that sort of

way-but it has never seemed to

Hasn't she any children Of her
own?" Sally asked. But I sup
pose she's too young"
Not at ALL" Van Horne laughed.
"She's past 80, certainly, though she
would never forgive me for saying
so. She's never had any children;
been married about thirteen years, I
think"
"Oh, that's too bad!" SalIy's voice
was tender and wiStful Shed

Van Horne interrupted with his
throaty, musical laugh, and was in
turn interrupted by Gus the bar
ker's stentorian roar:
Right this way, la-dees and gen.
tle-menl want to introduce you
to Princess Lalla, who sees all,
knows all! Princess Lalla, world
famous crystal-gazer, favorite-"
Sally Strengthened in her throne
like chair, her little brown hands
cupping obediently about the

draped stand before her. Van Horne,
with last ironic chuckle, melted
into the crowd, which had surged
toward Sally's platform.
When Gus spiel was finished, the
rush began. At least a dozen hands
shot upward, waving quarters and
demanding the first opportunity to
learn past. present and future"
from princess Lalla."
She worked hard, conscientiously
and cautiously, for she was wildly
conscious that both Van Horne and
Enid Barr were somewhere in the
tent listening, perhaps, whispering
about her.

POLICE WITHOUT
FUND TO OBTAIN
EMERGENCY CAR
Fire Equipment Badly in
Need of Repair and
Replacement.

Replacement of the police emer-
gency auto which was wrecked in
the accident at Twenty-First and
Illinois Sts., several weeks ago has
been delayed by lack of funds in
the police equipment fund, City
Purchasing Agent Joel A. Baker
said today.
The police department is badly in
need of another emergency but
transfer of funds by council or a
bond issue is needed before the
purchase can be ordered.
1t is understood the Marnon Of
ficials have presented the city with
a better price than the Stutz plant.
The safety board has not decided
which car to buy.
Another problem facing the board
is to find funds to buy $500 feet Of
fire hose for reserve in event OF
emergency, Secretary Howard E.
Robertson said.
The city usually carries about
$500 feet in reserve but the stock
is down to about 500 feet at present.
Some of the departments hose has
been in use since 1915 and is likely
to need replacement any time.
The 1923 appropriation was in
adequate, Robertson said. Usually
the city buys 5000 feet annually but
the 1000 feet already purchased
depleted the fund.
Several fire engine houses need
roofs, painting, shades and cutters
but the city is without funds to
make necessary repairs.

over her shoulder to see that she
was not observed by anyone who
knew her, Enid Barr ran lightly up
the steps and slipped into the little
camp chair opposite Sally. Her
small white hands, with their eX-
quisite nails glistening in the light
from the center gas jet, lowered
over the srystal, touching it tenta-
lively, with the curiosity of a child
becoming acquainted with a new
toy.
Sally leaned forward, her own
hands cupped about the crystal, her
eyes brooding upon it behind the
little black lace veil, her mouth
pursed with sweet seriousness.
"You are-what you call it2-
psychic" Sally chanted in the
quaint, mincing voice with which
she had been taught to make her
revelations. "Ze creeystal, she is

woman she dared appropriate.

Then, as if drawn by a powerful
magnet, she raised her eyes sud-
denly and met those of Van Horne,

against the center pole of the tent

Most of her fear of Enid Barr,
which had resulted from the con-
nection of the golden-haired wom-
an with the orphanage children the
day before, had evaporated. 1t was
absurd to think that a woman of
such wealth and beauty, whose
philanthropy had undoubtedly been
gesture of boredom, was seriously
interested in one lone little girl who
had run away from charity.
It did not even seem odd to
Sally that Enid Barr should have
paid a second visit to the carnival.
Probably Capital City afforded scant
amusement for a woman Of her
Sophistication, and the carnival,
crude and tawdry though it was,
was better than nothing.
Since Princess Lalla was not a
side show all by herself, but only
one of many attractions in the Pal
ace of Wonders, Gus never made
any attempt to caiole reluctant
"rubes" into surrendering their
quarters for a glimpse of past, pres
ent and future" but always hustled
his crowd on to the next platform
Pity Sing's-as soon as the first
furry of interest had died down and
the crowd had become FESTIVE.
BY this method, those who were
family or belligerently dissatisfied
with Sally's crystal-gazing, at which
she was becoming more adept with
each performance, were quickly pla-
Gated by the sight of new wonders,
for which no extra charge was made.

seen. Just in time she remembered

help very much toward sane recon-
struction Of marriage upon Chris
tan basis. We suffer too much to-
day both from the theorists who
would weaken or disrupt the in
stitution on the basis Of radical as
Sumptions and from those who meet
all the ills and evils of home and
married life with the assumption
that there is something that makes
a marriage sacred, even when no
sense of love and holiness is present
in the minds and experiences OF
those who have assumed it as le-
gal obligation.
If we perceived more clearly the
one sure spiritual foundation of
true marriage and home life, we
should address ourselves more
vigorously toward building up right
ideals and right practice rather
than to more superficial manipula-
ton of laws either for radical or
for conservative ends.
Here, as in the whole range Of
his teaching, Jesus brings us back
to elemental truth and the elemen-
tai laws that govern right living.
There is no miraculous power that
will make the homes of a nation
great. or that will make married
and family life beautiful, if those
who are responsible for these homes
neglect their duties and their privi-
legeS of love.
OF course one must recognize
that many of the most serious
evils in the home arise from pres
ent conditions, economic and So
cial. 1t would be interesting to
discover how many of the Jars
and descriptions of family life CEN
ter around the question Of money
and of inadequate wages to sup
port ones home and family with
reasonable comfort. But even
here the world is apt to forget
that many of the happieSt mar
riages and Of the truest homes
have been established and main
tanned under conditions approach
ing poverty.
The Children
One only needs to read the rec
ordS Of the divorce courts to see
that in married life money is not
a great promoter of happiness
Perhaps we touch the deepest
Of all things in relation to the
home In the attitude of Jesus to-
ward the children. Where there
is no love Of children, no apprecia-
ton Of the meaning and beauty Of
child life, such as is forever beau
tifully typif1ed in the attitude Of
the Master, there cannot be the
conditions for an ideal home.
