Bottle production cannot be in creased because of raw-material shortages, hence a nation wide cam paign is being conducted to round up ail the empties. The Everyday ifWtßi Counselor 1 Rev. Herbert Spaugh, D. D. Marriage should be the happiest | and most satisfying of human ex-; periences. It was ordained by God to be such, and when enter ed into with His blessing, and consummated under His sought, direction, it is. When we leave j God out of marriage, anything can aappen, and often it is a | tragedy. An awful example of a : godless and bitter marriage comes J through the Associated Press from New Albany, Indiana. Here i a circuit jury acquitted Mrs. Goldie Sutton, 43, on a first de gree murder charge in the shoot ing of her husband, Guy, 46, after hearing her testify that he had: “Broken her collarbone by throwing her over a cliff. Stepped on her neck. Poured kerosene on her and tried to set her clothing afire. Tried to slash her throat with a razor. Threatened to pour { hot grease on her. Singed her j hair with a shotgun blast.” Such a domestic tragedy did not happen all at once. The parties were not young, but mid dle-aged. They had evidently been fighting together for years, with final and tragic results. Too many marriages, often en- THE SKYLAND POST, WEST JEFFERSON, N. C. tered into lightly, quickly become battlegrounds. Who hasn’t heard the old wisecrack that an appro priate marriage hymn is, “The Fight Is On!” Marriage quickly becomes a fight, when it is en tered into selfishly, and with God left out. When a man and woman mar ry, they enter into a contract, “for better or for worse.” It should be and can be, “for better.’’ But all too often it is “for worse.” The rising divorce rate indicates that. Let it be remembered that a man and woman must reach phys ical maturity before they can con summate a marriage. During the years of growth they have been reared in entirely different en vironments in which they have acquired a variety of different habits: There must be a common de nominator if it is to succeed. That must be more than physical at traction, if it is to develop into a fine satisfying companionship in stead of increasing warfare. There must be a willingness to give and take. Above all, we should re member that the perfect common denominator is a common faith in Almighty God, and active mem bership in the same church. When a man and woman are divided in religion, they leave the door open for other dividing factors which quickly produce struggle and do mestic warfare, and perhaps final tragedy.
