Here ate five answers to that question: DR. PERCY STICKNEY GRANT of the Church of the Ascension: “It {s founded on the affection of two persons for each ‘other, as mar. riage in America is supposed to be, with the disap- Dearance of such sentiment disappears the only ground for the marriage. The Present law of the Episcopal Church regarding divorce is not Protestant, not modern.” DR, GEORGE CLARKE HOUGHTON of the Church of the Transfiguration (“the Little Church “Ican see little difference be- tween 'the way in which Ani®rican divorce is tending If a man knocks his wife down, if a women has a lover who is not her husband no reason for a divorce.

WILLIAM NORMAN GUTHRIE of St. Mark’s-on-the-Bouwerie: “I don’t believe in locking the stable door after the horse is stolen; I be Heve in keeping the thieves away from the horse. Instead oMpaying #0 much attention to the divorce problem, we ought to teach People to get more wonderful and beautiful things out of marriage. It means some thing beyond the happiness of husband and wife; it is an opportunity for DR. A. EDWIN KEIGWIN of the West End Congregational Church: commercialized marriages can be ter- minated:- But I don't believe in playing fast and loose with marriage. If two persons marry on a basis of affection, a covenant exists between them and they should live up to its obligations may be ended legally when it has already been ended morally.” ONLY ONE OF FIVE PUTS ABSO- LUTE BAN ON DIVORCE. Apparently the modern. church 1s beginning to realize the futility, if not the folly, of prescribing prison- gape diccipling for marriage. Of the re 3 Prominent New York clergymen Just quoted, only one bans divorce undér any and all circumstances. It is tolerated at ieast to a degree by consulted, and it is frankly indicated as an honorable and even Inevitable death. The heart, regarding which the defense has been inquiring busily, was removed at that time by Dr, Weaver and was found to be normal, he sald. The brain was also examined and seemed to be normal and showed no trace of an apoplectic stroke. BALLOU HAD NO HEART TROU- BLE, SAYS MEDICAL EXPERT. Dr. George Sherrill of Stamford, medical exafniner of the town, also asserted the heart and brain were perfectly normal, Dr, Sherrill was Present at both autopsie: He said, ed what had become of the it was probably buried, but I know,” on in such @ situs ation produce sound, a groaning respiration, which might be taken by a layman for an,exclamation?" asked Judge Downs. “Tt would depend on the tempera. ment of the layman.

Woman is no longer a chattel. She has attained an economic in- dependence which gives her the privilage of remaining unmar- 1d if she so chooses, without sacrifice of dignity, and she is no longer forced te remain married to a man who is abhorrent to her in order to be supported.” Dr. George Clarke Houghton, how- ever, takes @ diametrically opposite view.

Dr. Grant says that the majority of New York communicants disagree with the divorcee canon of the church. What has that to do with it?
