Catherine C. Roy, Plaintiff,
VS..
James c. Roy, Defendant.
IN THE CIRCUIT COURT FOR
MONTGOMERY COUNTY
SITTING AS A
COURT OF EQUITY.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY
SITTING AS A
COURT OF EQUITY.
No. 11016 Equity.
The object of this suit is to pro-
cure divorce VincuLo naGtYinaOnil
by the plaintiff, Catherine C. Roy,
from the defendant, James C. Roy.
The bill in substance states:
That the plaintiff and the defend
ant were married February "a,
1910, in Chevy Chase, Montgom-
cry County, Maryland, by the Rev.
Hillman HOLSTER, a Minister of
the Gospel; that the plaintiff is a
resident of Montgomery County,
Maryland, residing at 1877 Grafton
Street, Chevy Chase, Maryland.
and has resided in said County
and State for more than one year
preceding the filing of this suit;
that the defendant is a non-resi-
dent of the State of Maryland,
residing at 1910 Maryland Ave-,
N. E., in the City of Washington,
District of Columbia; that no chill
dren were born as a result of the
aforesaid marriage; that after the
plaintiff and the defendant were
married they lived together as
husband and wife until March /,
1912, when the defendant, without
any just cause or reason, aban-
doned and deserted the plaintiff
and declared his intention to live
with her no longer, and that such
abandonment has continued un-
interruptedly since the said first
day of March, 1912, and is DELHI
crate and final and the separation
of the parties is beyond any rea-
sonable expectation of reconcile
alton; that the conducts of the
plaintiff has always been kind,
affectionate and above reproach,
and she has never given the de-
PENDANT any just cause or reason
to desert her; but, on the contrary,
has behaved herself as faithful,
chaste and affectionate wife.
The bill then prays that the
plaintiff may be divorced q nm
culO mGtYimonii from the defend
ant; that the plaintiff may resume
her prior name of Catherine c..
Callan, and for such other and
further relief as the plaintiffs case
may require.
It is thereupon, this 9Th day Of
September, 1913, by the Circuit
Court for Montgomery County, as
a Court of Equity, ordered that
the plaintiff by causing a copy Of
this order to be inserted in some
newspaper published in said Mont
gomery County once in each of
four successive weeks before the
9th day of October, 1913, give
notice to the defendant, James C.
Roy, who is a nonresident Of the
State of Maryland, of the object
and substance of this bill of COM
plant, warning him to appear in
this Court, in person or by solicit
tor, on or before the 18th day Of
October next, to show cause, if any
he has, why decree ought not
to be passed as prayed.

get his song that far.
The best possible advice, l
believe, for a prospective song
writer-if he rejects the advice
that he quiet trying to sell his
songs-is to scrape an &C

then cultivate them, then try
TO get some orchestra TO play
a song. 1t will soon be APP

THANKSGIVING FOR DELIVERANCE
By the Rev. E. r. Bellingham, Pastor,
First Congregational Church

People of democratic nations seldom sing the praises of war
except in some of their national anthems, which reflect the
spirit of another day, and in those popular songs which originate
during war, such as that in which we are now engaged.
1t is part of our very nature and nurture to regard war as
an unmitigated evil. Yet l often recall a broadcast from London
by Ed Murrow in which he described the reactions of the Eng
lBh people to the declaration of war upon Germany.
In spite of the fact that every last one of them expected the
bombs to start falling at any moment, there was, he said, a
feeling almost approaching thankfulness in the air when the
die had been finally cast.
We have not passed through the same experience because
we did not sense the reality of our own peril in the same way
they did, but now, after three years of war, knowing what we
do, how many of us love peace so much as to want the peace
for which we gave thanks in 1910 back again?
There is a formula in the Old Testament which describes the
ups and downs of Jewish history. 1t tells how, on repeated
occasions, Israel prospered, fell into sin, was ravaged by war,
repented and turned to God, was forgiven and restored. The
writer, or writers, of these passages evidently regarded war not
so much as a disaster as the first step in the nations deliverance
from the perils of her own over confidence.
While do not wish to fall into the minister's common error
of seeking exact modern parallels to Biblical incidents, l think
of us can discern some elements of the pattern of this old
formula in what is happening today. We have a feeling, 1 am
that the war, however terrible it may be, is in the final
analysis the first step in our deiverance from a fate worse
than war.
War alone can't save us, but it has stirred us. How deeply
time can tell. We have been awakened not only to the
of our enemies and to the folly of our own lack of
physical preparation but also to the perHs of our spiritual
weakness. We sense that we have been near the brink. When
look upon the enslaved peoples of Europe and Asia a para
phrase of the words of Richard Baxter can well express the
feelings in the hearts of many of us: There, but for the grace
of God, goes America"
