OUTSPOKEN BISHOP
COMPANIONATE MARRIAGES AND WEEK-ENDING.. ... fU P.A by Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Feb. 23, 11 p.nn) LONDON, Feb. 23. The Bishop of London, in an outspoken condemnation on companionate marriages and “week-ending” by young unmarried preaching at the Chapel Royal, St. James, said: “The other day I had the greatest difficulty in persuading a young married woman that went away with a man other than her husband for a day or two that it was adultery.
She said: “What a funny thing to call it!”
“That’s what the Bible, calls it”, I replied. The Bishop continued:—
“With this insidious teaching creeping from America, we have to look carefully to see whan -is the teaching of our Lord. I find many people make a great deal of the Lord's kindness to the woman who was taken in adultery. Or course He was kind, 'but we must not forget the rest of the Christian, religion. The body is a beautiful servant but a terrible master. Christians must watch every cinema play aud sec that it does not bring temptations to the minds of the young.”
