Wade po ygamy may not have beeu the general rule in Eu rope, still, until the coming of our Lord, woman bad no where found any sanction for her claims.!. She was left at the mercy of her mate until our Redeemer had proclaim ed the sanctity of the marriage tie, and the fact of its being in dissoluble but for one cause. , All the sanctities and blessings of the cbristiau : family were things ' unknown tot theancjent people. .No tender memories of tbe purity and' love that sanctifi ed the home of their youth, re- strainod and enuooled the young poople of that day, when reacti ng maturity, they went out into the world to make their way therein. Ambition and avarice were left unbridled to lead men nto every sort of sin sod injus tice. Tbe guilty aud - weary world was full of anguish and wrong, and men were every where longing for more light. It was nbt alone in hallowed Israel that good men like Cornelius the cen turion, were seeking to know God's pleasure with them.
