Father Stevens Explains Stand of Roman Catho- lie Church On Problems Affecting Family Life,

Divorce and birth control were condemned by Rev. Lawrence Stew ems in a sermon to men and women not of the Roman Catholic religion, last night at St. Marys church. where a mission is being conducted for persons of all religious sects
 Divorce was declared 10 be ter rible cancer eating into the heart of the nation, and birth control was dismissed as an attempt to better the laws of the nation. Father Stevens decried organized efforts by religious bodies to make less rigid the birth control laws. How unfortunate that body gathered under the name of religion should favor such a prac- tice," the missioner remarked.
 Tn every place where people gather to discuss matters of socio- logical importance the question of the Catholic church's attitude on marriage is sure to arise" declared Father Stevens. Why does she lay down her laws, and by what authori- ty,' are the questions asked.
 Her law was given by Christ when He said. What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.' Once consummated validly and legally, marriage is eter- nal and there Is no power In the world that can permit 1t 10 be dis solved. That is Gods law, and the church's. and that is why the church can have no right to sanction di- vorce.
 DO you know who sanctioned the first divorce? It was no other than Martin Luther. some 1890 years after Christ had spoken his laws Even the enemies of the church must admire her in the firmness with which she has followed those laws and has en- forced them, and even those enemies must admire the firmness of a sover- eign pontiff of the church who saw a whole nation turn away and spurn the throne of Peter simply because he would not grant a divorce to Henry VIII.
 "Indeed. 1t is not surprising that the Catholic church should oppose divorce. It is surprising. however that any church holding to the Bibles teachings should permit 1t [ for divorce Is a terrible cancer eat ing into the heart of the American i people.
 Tt Is an evil which every woman with proper estimate of her owI dignity should stand against, fol with divorce rampant she ceases tc hold the wondrous place marked ou for her by God in his idea of crea ton Consider the reasons given b! those seeking divorce, and amoni them you will find prominent tha of incompatibility. Do you realiz' what this Is? It Is simply that married person finds his or her lust full desires may no longer be satis fled with the present partner, an, another is wanted.
 "The Catholic church does no ; hold absolutely that in every case man and his wife must live together for there are circumstances unde which they may or even should sep arate. Separated, however. they al ways remain man and wife and ma, never marry again."
 1 Let us consider the stand Of tn Catholic Church on birth control.
 Marriage is a contract, ending il the production of a family. Thos who would destroy the idea of family automatically destroy tn contract. But there arc those toda

MIDDLETOWN BANK AFFAIRS
Peoples National Bank Probe Nears
| End-"Frozen Assets" Caused Closing

Peoples National Bank Probe Nears
End-"Frozen Assets" Caused Closing
| 1t is understood that the examina-
ton of the affairs of the Peoples Ma
| tlonal Bank, which was compelled to
temporarily close its doors some time
ago on account of frozen assets" has
been completed so far as the accounts
are concerned. The examiners and
their assistants are now checking up
on the notes which the bank holds.
This has been delayed somewhat on ac-
count of the holidays but is expected
to be completed some time next week.
Many of the notes held by the bank
are notes given by farmers whose Sc
curity is really livestock and farm i'm
plements and crops. If the bank
holds a note for a farmer for $1,000,
the examiners will ascertain by ar-
praisal whether that farmer has
stock and other property to the value
of $1,000 and whether the note is prop
erly secured. If it is, the note will be
credited with being a real asset. If
it is not, it will not be so credited.
This procedure will take considerable
time because it is vastly different
from examining notes which are held |
by city banks. There will be no meet |
ing of the reorganization committee
until the bank examiner has complet- |
ed his examination and the check upon
he notes and made a report. The
will then know exactly
what is necessary to place the bank
IN sound financial basis and will
AXE up the task of so placing it.
