+ lies in the fact that His mercy
can be rejected
Stslin's death was a frightful
death. The bursting of a blood ves-
sci in the brain is like a blow from
the hammer of God Was there
time for The kind of contrition
which can save the guiltiest soul
even at the last moment? 1t seems
not. And even if there was time,
was Stain capable of such contri-
tion, after years of denying God,
reyiling God, and tormenting the
children of God?
Such are the considerations
which bow down every Christian
heart in sorrow for this dreadful
and pitiful enemy of Christians and
of Christianity.
For myself, the thing that rendS
me most is that Stain was respon-
sible. through his agents of athe-
ism. for teaching little children to
say. and perhaps to believe, that
there is no God. Perhaps there are
more horrible crimes; but to one
who loves children there is none
more horrifying And it would
seem that Stain died unrepentant.
To this death. apparently, may
be applied in all their frightful, lit
eral and factuaI meaning those
much-bandied but little-thought-
about words, "a tragic death" That
is Why we sorrow in the deepest
and most soul-tearing sense.

home once more the one reality
that every man must keep ever be-

ness in life is to be ready at any

Group Opposes
Move To Ease
Divorce Laws

ALANY. N. Y - (NC) - The
New York State Catholic Welfare
Committee, in statement to the
New York State Assembly Ways
and Means Committee expressed
its opposition to a movement to in
crease the number of grounds for
divorce in New York State.
TO increase the grounds for di-
yorce is but to multiply opportuni-
ties for perjury and Subordina-
ton" the statement insisted in an
swer TO a claim that more liberal
divorce laws would eliminate the
evils of fraud and perjury.
Occasion for the statement was
hearing on the Gordon Bill which
proposes that temporary State
commission be established Ito
study and recommend concerning
the problems created by marriage,
the family and related matrimonial
actions and proceedings
The Catholic Welfare Commit
/ tee expressed its conviction that
this commission is intended by adj
vocateS of lIberalized divorce laws
to prepare the ground for such
liberalization.
The statement was presented by
George w Wanamaker OF Buffalo.
president of the Guild OF Catholic.
Lawyers of that diocese Conced-
ing that many persons of good
faith are advocating the establish
ment Of the commission, the state
ment asserted that "a bill with
powers expressly limited to seek
ing means TO preserve the family.
reunite broken homes reduce our
rapidly climbing divorce rate, and
explicitly excluding from these OBJ
jectives the increase of, ground for
divorce would have been much
different than the one now under
discussion.
I'VE have reason to think that
among the vocal supporters of this
proposal are those who see in it a
means to espouse their favored
theory that the evils of fraud per
jury, collusIon and connivance in
matrimonial actions may be elimi-
mated by adding y number of new
and easier grounds for divorce to
the law of he Stale"
The statement suggested that
present procedures for testing the
veracity of witnesses should be
made adequate, if they are not al
ready so, rather than to attempt to
avoid perjury by adding new
grounds for divorce.
let the responsible officials of
our State see that our laws with
respect to marriage are obeyed in
spirit as in letter" the statement
read, "and let our people know
that they are responsible TO s0ci-
ETY., as they are to God, to pre-
serve their marriage relationship"
