That it is the sense of this body. that ministers of the Gos-. pol should sustain no relations to the remarriage of persons divorced on any ground." . The resolution was defeated. thirty to twenty-four and the following was adopted: "Resolved, That it is the sense of this body that ministors dl the-Gospel should sustain no relation to the re- marrisge of persons divorced except such as are‘scriptuaily qualilsd.” The Rev. lir. Foster aid in a report ‘on the subject: "I realise that the resolution offered is radically sweeping. I am convinced more deeply than ever. that remar- riageor divorced persons should hedis- countenanced unqualllediy by the Church and the clergyman. There is no intermediate position. liy reasons may be briefly stated. In the drst place, the dimensions of the evil are such as to force one ito this position. When it is known that ,in the United States the divorces in 1886 were 156.9 per cent more than in 1887; that in general. divorces are increasing more than twice as fast as the population, that in a period of twenty years, from 1887 to 1886, there was the appalling number of 328,716 divorces in the Uni- ted States; that by a small estimate 670.580 children were the remit of the mariage thus dissolved, it would be impossible to assume an attitude too rigid on the subject. "If we look at the situation in our own state. the picture grows darker still. For the thirty years between 1866 and 189$ the average ratio of di- vorces was one in every twelve and one-tenth marisges. Regarding New Haven county for the six months from January 1 to August 1. 1899, there were granted eighty-three divorces. The number of marriage licenses issued in theI same city for the same period was 618. Of these 220 were Roman Catho- lics. among whom. much to their cre- dit. there is practically no divorce. The number of marriages. toerefore, from which divorce was possible was 298. Hence, the approximate ratio is as between ilfty the number of dimrcc’s in New Haven. and 289, the number of marriages cxclusiveof the Roman Cath- olics. That is to say. there was one di- vorce to every five and “‘sevcn-tenths meninges. "An examination.“ the applicants for divorces yields absolutely no com- fort. It is not alone the so-called low- e': classes who are guilty. it is the exclusive upper circles of society where perhaps the greatest wrong is done in this matter. The recent Sloane-Belmont affair is too fresh in the public mind to need any comment here. i say again there is no middle ground. We are not in a position to know the facts in any case. We cannot be impartial judges. How pitiful la the case of the brother in our own state. whose mistake recently literally cost him his life. Dr. Barrows was im- posed upon no doubt. But, if his posi- tion had been one of unflinching loyal- ty to the principle that two lives once united cannot in life be separated. it would have been his safeguard.

The farmers are complaining because of the exhaustion of their wells and are expressing extreme anxiety over the continued dryness. l-‘rom up the Connecticut valley there come reports of a similar condition. The city of Hartford has been obliged to resort again to Its auxiliary water service and is now pumping about 4.000.000 gallons daily from the Connecticut River. The river itself is reported less than five- tenths of a foot above low water mark. the lowest point it has reached since Assessors. Dated at Norwalk.
