Marriage
The belief is prevalent, and seems
lo be growing. that marriage is a.
civil contract and 3. ch“ contract
only, writen‘C. l“. Thwin; in Cur-
rent History Magazine. l.lke othI-r
contracts. it i
pleasure and nvcnicnce of the par-
ties. and, like other contracts. inav
be determined when pleasure and
convenience are no longer serve-J.
\Vc are fast reaching a point where
the state of matrimony will exist
only in name. In this respect mar-
riage is follouing the drift which Sir
Henry Maine has pointed out as
characteristic of progresshe society.
the drift from status to contract.
The conception of marriage as a
relation essentially secular lies at the
which recognizes the right of the in-
dividual and the right of the State
to an interest in the dissolution or
the marriage tie.1t does not in the
least recognize any peculiarly sacred
character in the institution. The
growth, moreover. of atheistic and
socialistic principles in society has
weakened in the popular mind the
conception of marriage as a. Divine
ordinance. and therefore as a. tie of
permanently binding force. To
those who eliminate God from the
world it becomes an easy task to rob
marriage of its sacred character.
The institution of marriage rests up-
on : triangular base. It is founded
upon the interest of the individual.
upon the interest of the State and
upon Divine ordindnce. To weaken
this foundation upon any side caus-
es the structure to totter.
Marriage ought to be ever. and
everywhere, 3. means of inward
grace. The practice or the Roman
Catholic Church, in respect to the
prohibition of divorce. inevitably
bows from. its sacramental doctrine.
The record obthe Protestant Church.
made through its clergyman and or-
dained priests in the marriage of
divorced persons, represents an anti-
sacramental interpretation. The
record intimates that marriage is re-
garded as a. contractual relation.
One may not go so far as to say tint
no clergyman should omciate at 2x
marriage of divorced parties. in
one is justified in saying that .the
Church is injured in- the home of
Its friends. and injured beyond the
home of its friends. in priests marrY—
ing certain persons who are divorced
; In particuar. it may be added. that
the injury in public repute become:-
the greater as the causes of the pre-
viously given divorce are the more
notorious. and as the persons them-
selves are notorious. In public re-
ports the amount of the fee paid is
frequently and sensationally con-
nected with the fact of the marriage.
I for one, an a. Protestant. and us
one ordained to the Protestant mm-
istry, should be glad to see marriage
with baptism and the communion.
least two of these plays are power-
ful. “Jealousy" may easily rank as
one or the best; constructed, most
powerfully written drama: that has

advanced for the American: stage.
