DIVORCE POISONS LIFE.
THE RUSH AFTER LUXURIES. "Bishop Manning lias performed a signal service by his endeavours to arouse public opinion against the evils resulting from the alarming increase of divorce," said the Rev. Dr Reuben Kaufman, rabbi of the East Midwood Jewish Centre, Brooklyn, New York. "The facetious attitude toward the marriage vows constitutes a poisoning influence preying upon the very vitals of our communal life. "Attempted remedial legislative reform without an enlightened public opinion is tantamount to curing cancer by applying cold cream salves. Check the precipitous rush after luxuries, Ihc unmitigated sybaritism, the unrestrained rivalry and covctousness, and thereby remove some.of the major causes of infelicitous matrimony."
