The Everyday Counselor lev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. Many war marriages are going tb pieces. They married in haste mttA now are repenting ih leisure. A correspondent faces us with of these in the following let “Is it worse for a young couple fe go on living together than to wparaie, when they are both’ mis and unhappy? These young ygople Bgarried during the war. «ni» was too young for marriage —i naw has no love for her hus a.mi But she continues to make ■ home far him through pity He’s devoted to her, but they acre continually quarreling and dis agreeing. What is your advice for <fcig problem?” In my Ten Commandments for * Happy Marriage the First is, -Thou shalt not marry m haste, •r thoir mayest repent in leisure. Many young couples are repent Mg now. Bilt-df need not require « separatibnr The young girl in this marriage evidently, like-many of her age, ■ad little comprehension of what was involved'in marriage. But if Hte truth iindihitte^ few young maples do. If all separated Who suddenly woke up to the realisa tion. that marriage was not what they expected, the divorce rate would be far higher than it is.. Every marriage, whether sol emnized by minister, priest, rab Br, or some civil official exacted from the participating parties certain solemn promises. These •annot be tossed out lightly, without serious, damage to the •ohscience and moral sensibilities mt both husband and wife. When a man or. woman commence to Break promises, they undermine gieir personal honesty and integ rity. ■ But it takes more than promises k> hold a marriage together. Such a one cannot be happy, as in the ease described in this letter. There must be love and under standing. These can be cultivated. They do not drop down miracu tf-sly oot of the sky. The correspondent who raises this question implies that it is a sin for them to continue to live toeefher'as they are. and that ft ’weu’a be a ate f»f tUfeto to sep arate. This is right. A marriage b broken by quarreling, disag reement and selfishness long Before it is broken in the divorce court. It is also a sin to break one’s solemn word. These two promised to live together, “For Better or for worse?... till death A new building was recently ry Negro agricultural workers of ledicated in PittSboro to be used EXECUTOR’S NOTICE TO CREDITORS Having qualified as Executors os the estate of James M.

They only move them to an other place. This young couple should take inventory of traits, likes, habits which they have in common, seek the advice of h minister, priest, rabbi or marriage counselor. Let them be sure that they have hon estly gotten down on their knees and prayed about it until each can say, ‘Wot my will but thine be done.” Recent guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. T.
