In the July 1b
sue of Good
Housekeeping
Magaitne, Oretta
' Palmer, nation
ally known writ

ed a sensational
i ly frank article
on the menace of
divorce.
Miss Palaer

taught the
American girl about cocktails and
ski costumes, lipsticks and cigar
ettes, contract bridge and halo
hats. "That same woman today Is
busy teaching the same girl that
marriage may be regarded as a
temporary arrangement, easily
cancelled If It is not an Imme
diate success," bhe says.
Three suggestions for legal re
form which have recently been
made by those who are disturbed
at our growing divorce rate are
outlined in the article. These
suggestions, aimed at cutting
down our national divorce rate,
which results In mora than 200,000
divorce decrees a year, are:
1. That the states shall refuse
divorce to any couple married less
than three years.
2. That no divorced man or
woman may remarry until a full
year after the granting of the de
cree. 3. That no man or woman who
has been twice divorced shall be
allowed to marry again.
That the three suggestions are
drastic, the writer admits In her
Good Housekeeping article. "But
something more drastic .will occur
it the nation is allowed to drift
toward what has been called 'tan
dem polygamy'," Miss Palmer
maintains. "And a greater harsh
ness will result If divorce for the
sake of remarriage becomes a gen
eral habit of American life."
The proposal that the states
shall refuse divorce to any couple
married less than three years Is
now a part of the new British
divorce code which went into ef

fect last January, 'if we adopted
it In America, it would prevent one

for marriages that end in divorce
are breaking up after a shorter
and shorter period all the time,
the crticle states.
The provision that no divorced
f
man or woman
may remarry un
til a full year af
ter the granting
of the decree
"would affect the
most conspicuous
and flagrant sec
tion of the di
vorcing public,"
according to Miss
Palmer. "These

cree Is granted,"
Miss Palmer Insists.
On her third proposal, the writer
has this to say: "Divorce-court
addicts spread an amount of mis
ery that can be measured only by
the husbandB and wives they have
tragically discarded in their
careers. We cannot hope, perhaps,
to reform these habitues of the
divorce courts, but we can prevent
them from spreading misery on a
wholesale scale. We can stop them
after they have failed at their
second marital change. The adop
tion of these suggestions would
be a step, at least, toward bring
ing the marriage and divorce laws
of the states Into agreement. But
while we are awaiting uniformity
on some common meeting ground,
the three suggestions discussed
here might be ' adopted without
interfering with the states' right
to make their own definition of
grounds for divorce."
Miss Palmer points out that the
"divorce collectors can be stopped
only by public opinion, as express
ed in the law. She believes that
older persons hovering on the
verge of divorce can be saved this
step by compelling them to think
over for a year their next venture
in marriage.
"And we can so obstruct the
incurably frivolous who have
chown that they are unfitted for
marriage that they will not con
tinue to haunt our divorce courts,"
she iaya. '
"Do you, women of America,
think these suggestions should be
put into the form of laws?" Miss
Palmer rh''s.

Evangelist Says
Catholic Church
Changed Sabbath
Question of Observance
Of Grave Importance,
Says Preacher
"There is more involved in the
keeping of the Sabbath Day than the
matter of just a day set apart for
worship," stated Evangelist W. T.
Smith in his lecture on "Who Chang
ed the Sabhath from Saturday the
7th Day, to Sunday the 1st Uay oi
the Week?" last Friday night at the
big tent on the school ground.
After examining all the texts of
scripture in the Bible that mention
the first day of the week, which were"
only nine in all, "not one of these
scriptures calls or even refers to the
first day of the week as being the
Sabbath day, the Lord's day, o' a
holy day, nor was it ever set apart
as a religious day, declared Mr.
Smith.
The speaker further stated that
"according to Luke 4:16, it was
Jesus' custom to keep the Sabbath
(the seventh day), and also Paul's
custom (Acts 17:2;19:4). Jesus said",
"Think not that I am come to destroy
the law or the prophets. am not
come to destroy, but to fulfill (fully
preach)" Matt. 6:17. In Acts 20:29,
80, also, II Thess. 2:3-7, Paul warns
the church concerning erroneous doc
trines that would be brought into the
church by men arising within the
church "spreading perverse things"
things that were not according to
the words of Jesus, the prophets, or
the apostles. This has been literally
fulfilled, along with many of the
other prophecies pertaining to this
same power (Dan. 7:25; Rev. 13:1 ),
in the rise and work of the Papacy
(The Roman Catholic Church).
Quoting from many of the writers
of the Catholic Church in reference
to the change of the Sabbath, Mr.
Smith read:
"The Catholic Church of its own in
fallible authority created Sunday a
holy day to take the place of the
Sabbath of the old- law." Kansas
City Catholic, Feb. 9, 1893.
"Sunday is a Catholic institution,
and its claims to observance can be
defended only on Catholic principles
From beginning to end of
Scripture there is not a single pas
sage that warrants the transfer of
weekly public worship from the last
day of . the week to the first."
Catholic Press (Sidney, Australia),
Av.m ok - ionn ;
&"Quesji6nWhlch the? the Sabbath
Lntwea-Saturday 1st; the: Sabbath
d6!we , observe
ofl Saturday ?:;t .
"AnBWetWe observe Sunday in
stead of Saturday because the Catho
lic Church, in the Council of Laodicea
(A. D. 836)-, transferred the solemn
ity from Saturday to-unday." The
Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doc
trine by Rev, Peter Geiermann.
"The-'':. Protestants do : contradict
themselves by keeping Sunday and at
the same time profess' to be guided
by the Bible." C. X Thomas, Chan
cellor (R.,C).
;4"Th ( Catholic Church says: 'By my
divine power I "abolish the Sabbath
day, And' command you to' keep holy
the, first day of the" week.'.; And lo!
The entire civilised world bows down
inf rewrent -obedience " tb i j? the com
mand of- the holy Catholic Church."
Priest Enright, C, S. S.'R., Kansas
f In v. conclusion' Mr Smith ''stated.
I fGnftatlflfflMWlrtf
FROM THE" PAYS
"This Sabbath question is of grave
importance and much prayer and con
sideration should be given the sub
ject, for it ie a matter of obedience
to our God. The Lord commands us
to 'Remember the Sabbath day to
keep it holy. Six days shalt thou
labour and do all thy work; but the
seventh day is the sabbath of the
Lord thy God' (Ex. 20:8-10). But
the Catholic Church, a man power,
commands the first day. Jesus said,
'How' be it in vain do they worship
me -teaching for doctrines the com
mandments of men?' (Mark 7:7).
The word 'Protestant' means pro
testing against the Roman Catholic
Chttrch. Therefore since Sunday is a
Catholic institution, every sincere
Protestant should examine the foun
dation of his faith in reference to
this question."
Mr. Smith said that no one has
come to claim the $1,000 offer for the
text supporting Sunday observance
as yet, and that the offer is still good.
IThe services will continue another
week (except Monday night). The
subject for Sunday night is "Hell
Iffjjajlong. Wjll the Fires Burn?"

Wood Used for tne cross
Most of the alleged fragments of
the cross preserved as sacred relics
are pine. There are many legends
on the subject. According to one,
the original Christian cross was
made of four kinds of wood palm,
cedar, olive and cypress represent
ing the four quarters of the earth.
A poetic legend has it that the true
cross was made of aspen, whichs
accounts for the almost constant
quivering of the leaves of that spe
cies of tree.
