MARRIAGE VOWS
TOO LIGHTLY UNDERTAKEN. (Per Press Association.—Copyright.) NAPIER, This Day. Discrepancies between the Church and civil laws relating to marriage were the chief subjects of an address by Bishop Williams at the opening of the 26th Synod of the Anglican Diocese at Waiapu. . < “The Churdh teaches that marriage is a union made' for life,” said his Lorship, “If through human weakness a man and his wife find it better to live apart, the door should never be closed to the hope of reconciliation. The low standard set in current literature, pictures, and the civil laws, too, often lead young people lightly to undertake the responsibility of marriage, with* the thought, possibly not, expressed in words, that if it 'proves irksome it can be easily laid aside.”
