Houghton, a down east theological and socio fogical expert, says | “American men and women today hire their wives and husbands as they hire their carriages and houses, Therefore, if they very sit d, they proceed to-hire different ones—It's not s le. Hire, tire, fire! That is the motto of the modern home.” Millions of happy, contented families give the lie to this. | The motto of the modern home is really mutual sacrifice, hap- Rev, Houghton has simply taken the glar But he is right piness and content ing exceptions as indicating the general rule. as to those exceptions. Moreover, the hire-tire-fire proceeding | in those exceptions is well enough and certainly natural enough In many instances the marriage contract is merely a bill of | sale, or a leasehold. If you buy a horse and find he has glan-| ders, you sell him, If you lease a house and find that the roof | leaks or the furnace won't work, you throw up the lease. There is no moral obligation to force you to keep the horse or the house, and in the marriages referred to there is no moral obliga- tion to require keeping the wife or the husband, for no moral obligation enters into the marriage contract on the part of either party thereto. Hire, tire, fire is understood at the altar. When a millionaire marries his daughter to some rake for sake of a title, he simply “hires her out.” The and “fire” later on are but natural sequences. Business is busi ness. There is no injury to anyone save a few in the so-called eaipper class who make a great noise but really amount to very little to the race of mankind either as promoters or producers Only a very small and superficial element is harmed by mar “tire riage for family or society reasons! This element is no more representative of the modern home than the drone bee is rep resentative of the honey-laden hive The marriages that are harmful are those between parties only one of whom is capable of handing down to children strong constitutions and making successful modern homes—marriages in ignorance that would be accounted stupendous in the raising of dogs or chickens. But these couples, unfortunately joined) and not mated, are they who endure long, and the hire-tire-fire motto does not apply to them, even if they finally do part. Sending that I. W.
