. The problem of marriage if
that two people try to live to
gether. They are not one, bu
twoi and two wills can never
become one.
i Marriage is a civil- contract
between man and woman with
the intent to give rise to hus
band and wife. Marriage is
then a civil and binding con
tract until one party defaults
in marital duty. Marriage is
lawful so long as both parties
live up to this civil contract.
When broken, this unity ends
I am discussing in this brief ar
ticle what shah be done with
the fragments of this broken
union
Marriage without love is the
most reprehensibe form of de
bauchery.Human love in many
instances is very short. The
human heart can be transfer
red from" hand to hand. The
civil law of the United fttates
makes possible, this transform
ation by permitting civil au
thority and clergymen to re
marry thoJewho have found
say who shall, or who ( shall .and less to Perform marriage
not re-marry, but it allows him
to ; act oh 'his own; judgement;
Ministers who agree hpt to're-
mar.diyo assume
authority which" does not be
long to them. In England, with
the " ' established - church I, the
fact has recently been ascer
tained that ministers cannot
refuse ; to-, marry persons . who
may marry by" the ' Civil 1 law
as it stands. : .
Clergymen are given the
right to re-marry ' people by
the laws of the state; they are
constituted magistrates f 6 r
that particular act. If they can
not perform this act in the
spirit, of the state's law, if on
the contrary, they try to cir
cumvent and undermine the
aw; if they refuse to honor a
icense duly signed by the city
dlerk, they ought to have the
right to perform marriage tak
en away from them.
Again when the Christian
ministry refuses to re-marry
divorced people, it only encou
ana increases civn mar
riages. . Uivil marriages are uu
the increase and will be more
resorted to as the clergy shows
happiness. impo
their presenlcompamon. wve :ern ideas. One-third 01 an tne
marriage licenses issued in the
state of New York, are for ci
vil, not religious " ceremonies.
These marriages are performed
by aldermen, magistrates, and
judges. So long as we, minis
ters fail to keep abreast with
or social conditions and modern
institutions, so long will the
mmistrv be called upon less

get the very best brand it
sours awful easy. God made
man, and finding that he could
not care for himself. He made
woman to care for him, and
she proposes to discharge this
heaven appointed duty
know the reason why. 1
When the clergy refuses to
re-marry divorced people it is
attempting to compel them to
accept a career which is desti-
tut of self-realization, except
a very few who make indepen
dent careers in the struggle for
existence. It is preposterous to
attempt to compel people with
whom marriage reflations have
v become impossible to continue
together in holy wedlock. Fur.
. thermore, it is contrary to the
laws of nature, contrary to the
laws'of the land, and a viola-
tion of the laws, of r ,Moa ,xo

marry divorced- people, . and
thus compel man and woman

The question fa whether tlvc

tiohes are in a period of trans
ition; and they will improve
not at the hand of a monas
tic theology but by the illumiri
ation of modern knowledge
We do not expect to find twen
tieth century science in'a book
2,000 years old. Then why
should we expect to find twen
tieth century sociollogy? In
turning a deaf ear to humani
ty's mating cry, you are turn
ing your back upon four hun
dred years of Protestant hand
ling and have gone back to an
earlier Roman Catholic Thesis.
