pure." I Timothy 6:22.

Breakiiur the Seventh Command
ment, condemning: adultery, strikes
at the very foundation of human re
lationship. As we all recognise, the
fundamental unit of society is the
home. No school, church, lodging
place, or government can replace it.
It is the safest and most certain man-
ufacturer of honor, loyalty, high,
ideals, and the lofty passions of man
kind. It not only safeguards the
continuance of the human race but
it insures its progressive develop
ment The beginning of every home is the
marriage, which unites husband and
wife and dedicates them to each other
and the family which may come to
them. Important, therefore, is the
motive which leads the man and
woman into this intimate and respon
sible relationship. If it is high love,
a desire to serve mutually, the home
will usually be happy and permanent.
If, on the other hand, marriage is
used to purchase social splendor, to
acquire wealth, to countenance pas
sion, the results will be quite differ
ent Human beings are not all beyond
the possibility of error and of sin,
however, and so, as in all ages our
society has the problem of divorce.
Back in Perea, as Jesus slowly pro
ceeded on his last journey to Jerusa
lem, his enemies raised this perplex-
ing problem to harass hiffl, "Is it
lawful for a man to put away his
wife?" In those days of unequal
rights, no question of the wife's re
jection of the husband complicated
their minds. The Pharisees antici
pated trouble for Jesus regardless of
his reply, for there were two schools
of thought about this matter among
the Jews.
Moses had decreed that a man
might divorce his wife "if she find no
favor in his eyes because he hath
found some unseemly thing (unclean
ness, in the authorized version) in
her." The interpretation of this va
ried and in Jesus' day some followed
each of the leading rabbis. Shammal
expounded it to mean unfaithfulness,
unchastity, but Hillel said it meant
other reasons as well, and his follow
ers enlarged it so that "if the wife
cook her husband's food ill, by over-

Our modern refinements of the doc
trine "incompatibility," as decreed. In
our courts, have gone just as far to
make divorce easy, convenient and
excusable. One state (South Caro
lina) permits separation but no di
vorce, but elsewhere in America va
rious grounds are allowed, some re
quiring inldelity, but, as a rule, the
Utaited States leads the world in its
divorce ratio to marriages.
Jesus avoided the trap of the
Pharisees by referring to the Mosaic
law, but explained that it was "for
your hardness of heart" that such a
rule was given. : He announced a new
law, explaining how from the begin'
of creation God had established
the marital tie more strongly than
any other, therefore, man was not to
separate man and wife. Notice
Mark's gospel does not even add the
exception in the case of adultery.
The modern church attitude is far
from the strict doctrine. Dr. Nor
cross holds, like Hillel, that cruelty,
neglect, evil association, lack of re
spect or helpfulness, justifies divorce
and violates no word of Jesus. Others
differ. We find Cora Harris protest
ing against literature and entertain
ment based on irregular relations
and pleading that preachers use the
marriage vows as texts once in a
while "to search the conscience of di
latory wives and delinquent hus
bands." Another writer asserts that
greater thought, in the contraction of
marriage and not divorce is the reme
dy for unhappy marriages,
The innocent victims of the wreck
ed home are the children, brought up
in an atmosphere of hatred instead
of love and helpfulness, and denied
the training for useful lives that a
real homelife would give them. When
'the disciples of Jesus scolded those
parents seeking to bring their chil
dren to him, he rebuked them and
gave voice to the children's charter
of religious rights end emphasized
their trustfulness.
How differently a sensational evan
gelist acted in one city when he told
boys and. girls seeking a conference
in response to his general invitation
that he didn't have time to bother
with them!
Herbert Hoover in a Y. M. C. A. ad
dress said: "Life goes the way youth
finally takes." Therefore, as Prof.
George Herbert Betts declares: "The!
greatest business of any generation
is the education of its children. It is
at this point that civilization succeeds
or fails." If the home and family life
be destroyed, what social unit can
replace the inspiration and training
which children should get there ?
