LEVINSON, 17-5 Commissioner. first woman elected to oar state leg islature should have Introduced an her first bill one to make the grant ing of divorces easier. We had hoped that when woman entered politics she was going to stand foursquare on questions where morals and es pecially the sanctity of the home are involved. It Is the duty of the Chris tian people of our land to demand that our divorce laws conform to thr law of God: otherwise the home It domed, and the moral fiber of oui fpeople is made weak. But what will do most to stem the divorce evil and prevent wrecked homes Is to make our marriage law more strict and Instill In the heart and minds of the young higher ideals of the sanctity of the marriage rela tion. Young people marry whose tastes and Judgment have not fully matured and who have no settled occupation and means of livelihood; too often It is due to maudlin senti mentality; perhaps the man wants r housekeeper or the woman a home to keep; In either case both are sadly cheated; and It Is only a short while till they cease to court one anothet and begin to court the divorce mill Such persons In their haste to ge' married, and for fear of parental ob jection, too often do not so much af consult their parents who love then better than their own lives; to make matters worse these hasty marriages are frequently performed by civil magistrates; we are prone to forget 1 that marriage was Instituted by God and regulated by his commandment, "and that, therefore. It Is most fitting 1 that it be performed by one who rep 1 resents God to the people the Chris tian minister; that since It V a sol emn contract Joining two souls to gether as long as life shall last. It should be entered Into only under the most solemn circumstances and performed by one who will Invoke the divine blessing upon this sacred union. Marriage Is made too easy. The state should hedge it about with strict regulations requiring that It be performed under circumstances of dignity, after due deliberation, and publication beforehand. This done there would be fewer Ill-considered ! marriages; fewer persons would mar- . ry in haste to repent at leisure; there , would be fewer wrecked and ruined homes; and the Seventh Command j ment would not be so wantonly and i shamelessly and frequently violated ; by the divorce evil. I It the commission of adultery Is 1 fatal to the progress of the nation and destructive to the home. It Is be cause his sin reeks such serious con I sequences upon the Individuals who i compose the home and make up the 1 nation. It is hardly necessary foi ; me to remind you of the conse quences; you have but to go to out i insane asylurans and see there 1 large proportion of its Inmates (e , pectally among the women) who have gone stark mad because of this sin; , or you have but to examine the regis tration records or tne recent war draft and see that approximately 50 I per cent of the men of our country 1 were physically unfit for service as I a result of transgressing this law; or , look Into the list of Incurables In the nospitai wards; or, worse still, go Into our blind asylums and behold large proportion of those Innocent young people who must pass their lives In darkness because of the sins of the parents usually the fathers: and In thousands of homes sad-faced mothers whose health has been per manently Impaired and whose spirit has been sorely wounded by those to whom they had given their heart and life, and In whom rthey had trusted. Oh. we can't begin to picture to you the revolting consequences that soon er or later follow the violation of this commandment. If murder kills Its thousands, adultery kills Its tens of thousands and leaves behind it blast ed homes, suffering and diseased bodies, and damned soults. Is It any wonder that ministers of the Gospel are warning the people against be modern dance that by Its very nature constitutes a fierce temp tation to this sin? A few years ago the Rockefeller foundation Instituted an Investigation of the vice condi tions of several of our cities. And by their own admission 76 per cent of the fallen women attributed their downfall to the dance. In view of this fact, how any father and mother wno nave regard to their son s or daughter's chastity can consent to the familiarities that are part anc parcel of the modern dance. I can see. Yet they not only permit It bu some actually encourage It by theit presence or participation. And th pulpit Is not alone In warning again! mis amusement, out tne judges c the superior Judges are warning the people. Most of you doubtless no-) tlced the remarks to this effect of a, superior court Judge In his charge to the Jury in Fayettevllle recently.1 ome time In the past I clipped this item from a dally paper: "Out of the: 31 divorce cases tried before Judge' F. A. Daniels, of superior court yes terday. 23 verdicts granting divorce; were rendered. Many of the cases were dispensed with In very short time, some of them taking hardly more than 10 minutes. Judge Dan iels In his charge to the Jury spoke of the increase In divorce salts la this state. Three years ago a divorce salt In this state was rare, be stated. He enumerated many thugs. Includ ing moving picture shows aad mod ern dancing, which be attributed to be the causes of the ever-increasing number or divorce suits In thl state' Furthermore, the ministers of the church of Christ, who have made a specialty of studylnc the Stiiotnre and Its bearing on batata conduct, are unsparing tn their denunciation or the dance as being sabversive of morals and blighting to the Christian life. Does their opinion count for naught? The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church has time and again warned the people against the dance as being an Insidious rp- itie posing as an angel of IlxhL The Session of this church has gone on record to the effect that the dinrs t by Its very nature sinful and a t1w.

"Beneath the cros of Jesus." But the dance Is not the only thing that Is leading oar yoang people Into transgressing the Seventh Command ment. There Is the theater and the movie with their salacious and Inde cent scenes: there are the magatines and books on the tables of some col lared homes with pictares and sto ries that are suggestive and vulgar: and there are the smooty Jokes and stories passed from mouth to mooth of apparently respectable people, that are calculated to arouse the pas sions. .-ow 1 would not make a sweeping condemnation of theatrical performances and movies any more than I would of magaxlnes and books; but the larger proportion of ine rormer and a smaller proportion of the latter are decidedly Injurious and Christian people cannot be too careful as to the character of the plays they witness and of the litera ture they read. 1 might go on to call your atten tion to the evil that lurks la this nlght-rldlng In automobiles on the part of young people, a thing that Is working havoc wiih so many of the yoang people of our country; and many other liberties that are betng allowed, bat time will not permit of further detail. SufSce It to say that If you have your eyes open yoa are bound to recognlxe with me the ap palling fact that the morals or oar country have broken down. Samar cand Manor is having to doable Its rapacity. And If half the reports that reach me are true the town of Llllington Is not one whit behind the rest of the country aa regards Its morals. It Is high time for the Christian people of thta community to arouse themselves from their self complacency and root oat those per sons that are vltlatlnc our atmo. phere: and put a stop to those prac tices that are carrying oar younr. and read oaty tho4 rara-i;n- an t books that are cteaa and .opUftlec. we must shua thos staswaai such as the dance. ulUh kindle th passion: and engage only ia t lo social fetivti- which are whole some and chaste.
