RELATIONSHIP OF MARRIAGE
Belief In Survival After Death (Special Correspondent N.Z.P.A.) LONDON, September 17. A belief that the relationship between husband and wife persisted in some form after death was expressed by the Rev. D. J. W. Bradley at a conference of modern churchmen at Oxford. He said that when a man married he was most keenly aware of himself as a denizen of two worlds. “If the value of the relationship in any real sense is to be preserved in eternity,” he said, “something corresponding to the one flesh into which the husband and wife have grown must perforce persist.” But Mr P. E. Wallis, another delegate, said that this reference to marriage puzzled him. He appreciated the idea of a synthesis of body and soul, but did not think it would be a question of married or not married in Heaven. “I rather feel that if that view is worth anything at all in the Christian church you should never marry a widow.” ,
