ON RE-MARRIAGE OF THE DIVORCED Let the Church Refuse Its Benediction THE STATE SEPARATES Let' the State Which Does This Unite. Bishop Donne On the Uniform Divorce Law Dr. Crapsey and the Virgin Birth of Our Saviour Jesus Christ. (By the Associated Press.) Albany, N. Y., Nov. 20. The thirty eighth annual convention of the Pro testant Episcopal diocese of Albany convened In All Saints Cathedral in this city today. The feature of principal public Inter est was the address of Right Rev. Wil liam Croswell Doane, who from the foundation of the diocese has been its bishop. His widely known interest In the subject of marriage and divorce was again displayed in his earnest ref erences to that subject, in the course of which, after alluding with approval to the meeting at Philadelphia of the congress on uniform divorce laws, at which he was present, he said in part: "It was a satisfaction for as to feel that the calling of this cognress on uni form divorce laws was really traceable, through the governor of Pennsylvania and the president of the United States, to the representations made to the presidents by members Of the inter church conference in January, 1905. The resolutions which It adopted re lated naturally and most wisely to methods of procedure rather than to the question of causes, and the final form which the action took is to be embodied in a proposed statute which, while it enumerates several causes for divorce as existing in different states will express the opinion of the confer ence that 'desiring to see the number of causes reduced rather than increas ed, this congress recommends" That no additional causes be recognized in any state; and in those states where causes are restricted no change is called for.' Three Things of Import'. "Whatever result Is to be attained in dealing with this most important ques tion depends upon three things. In the first place, what legislative action can be secured to correct the methods of procedure. In the next place, what pressure can be brought to bear by people who really control and govern what is called society. And in the next place, by the positive and definite out spokenness of the churches. And I am increasingly hopeful and anxious that this church shall take the lead in a strong and definite position as to our relation, at any rate to the question of the re-marriage of any divorced per sons. "Until six years ago our canons quiet ly treated as possible the re-marriage of the so-called innocent party to a di vorce, with much confusion in the de tails of its language. Three years ago the church made it difficult. But this is really not dealing. It seems to me, either frankly or fairly with the de mand for relief. "Weary of the discussion and content to feel that the new canon makes re marriage more difficult, there Is a ten dency and temptation to let the sleep ing dog lie, but the trouble is that this dog is not asleep. I cannot believe that tho church ought to be content with a canon that really expresses nobody's honest convictions. It casts a slur and a shadow upon a marriage which some people think distinctly permitted by our Lord, and it forces the hand, to a de gree, of those of us who think other wise. If it is right it ought not to be hedged in with the difficulties. If it is wrong, it ought to be Impossible. Let us wash our hands of the whole busi ness. Let the state which separates unite. And without elaborations of de tail or definitions of discipline, let us simply forbid the clergy to give tho church's benediction to any such mar riage. Let the Pulpit Speak. "All the while some statement is ap pearing In the newspaper reports of the wholesale manufacture of , divorce somewhere, and every now and then, out from the comparative obscurity of many of the cases, one lifts up its ugly head Into conspicuous disgrace, because of the social position or the wealth of tho parties. When such a ease comes to present itself to What is Called so ciety, what will society do? In season and out of season, the Christian pul pit ought to call this thing by its right name, until the people who hold some moral standards shall recognize sin be fore the world." He also said In part: "The Bible is largely an unread and unknown book to children and to people of middle age. , The misuse and the misunderstanding of criticism is respon sible for this in no slight degree." The bishop dealt af length Upon the essentiality of the' "Wfltorio fact" of the virgin birth of Jesus', one of the cardinal faiths of the Episcopal church with the denial of which Dr. Crapsey was charged.
