THE DIGNITY OF MARRIAGE An eastern clergyman attributes the divorce evil largely to the @houghtiess informality of civil marriages. He bas found that statis- fice show that most of the marriages brought to the divorce courts are contracted under civil instead of religious auspices. Now, don’t get gay and cry “poppycock!" ‘There is a rich mine of solemn truth in this simple proposition. Tt is the natural instinct of womanhood to make @ great deal of marriage. The woman who ts fit to marry at all regards her mar- Fiage as the most important event of her life. ‘And woman dearly loves pomp and display—most of all at her wedding. It is due to her dignity that her marriage be made as tm- portant an event as possible. ‘We are all creatures of occult forces to greater or less extent, and the psychic influences of a cheap, hasty marriage In a justice court, gaped at by loafers, are not such as help to impress upon the soul of gman or maiden the full realization of the meaning of the sacred cere- Mony. It ts futile to say that one marriage is as good as another. It is mot true. Marriage does not all lle in the legal bonds. The real mar- Flage is of the spirit and what intensifies and exalts the spirit of ft makes the marriage better. If marriage were all in the legal bond, then there could be no real marriage at all, for the legal bond is far from being absolute. People marry nowadays not “till death do us part” but till temper or un- faithfulness suggests the divorce court. Marriage is regarded entirely too much as a mere legal affair, easily taken on and easily thrown off. It has become a common custom to furnish ublic marriages as ad- fJancts or sideshows to street fairs and carnivals, Perhaps we are ap- proaching a period and @ condition of publle conscience that will ad- ‘mit of actual marriages tn plays instead of the make-believe ones to Which the stage is accustomed. She would have the advantage of freshness in each performance, but whether the actual marriage under such circumstances would seem, or really be, more genuine than the make-believe one is a question. There cannot be too much of the spirit of sacredness and solemn- Sty put into the marriage service. The eastern clergyman ts right in saying that the life union pledged before the altar of God, under the Gome of His holy temple and amid the prayers and blessings of rever- ent and joyous friends, is a far better, a far more meaningful, e far more enduring marriage than the petty legal affair in a justice court Not all can afford fine church marriages. Well, !t doesn't matter how fine a marriage ts, provided it is the finest that conditions will permit. Be eo When a Physician or Specialist of 20 Years’ Experience Will TEST YOUR SYES FREE.
