MINISTERS REAFFIRM STAND ON WEDLOCK OF CLOSE RELATIVES Assert Experiments With Rats Cannot Serve as Basis for Radical Conclusions on Marriage ROYAL FAMILIES CITED Possibilities that a revolutionary dis turbance In tho whole theory of human marital relationship would occur as a re sult of the announcement of Dr. Helen D. King, a research worker In the Wis tar Institute of Anatomy and Biology at the University of Pennsylvania, that through tho Interbreeding of 21 genera tions of white rats she obtained a race of rats that was 30 per cent, better physically than the race she started with, caused much comment and discussion In clerical circles In this city yesterday. Practically none of tho clergymen be lieved that the announcement would bring about a change In the statutes regulating marriage -and prohibiting tho mar rl ago of close relations. They be lieved that the entire clvlllied world would revolt against such marriages and that the moral code of the world was too high to even entertain thoughts nf such marriages, even though science should provo that they would tend to produco a superman. Few of the pastors and prominent di vines of the city who discussed the ques tion of relatives Intermarrying believed that the world would over seriously con sider the mating of close relatives. And, while some of them questioned whether or not the mating of close relatives would result in a stronger race, as in the case of the white rats, which Doctor King proud ly exhibits in Wistar Institute, few would take Issue with the research worker since they contended that that was a matter for medical and scientific experts to pnBs Judgment upon. Tho Rev. Dr. William H. Roberts, stated clerk of the Presbyterian General Assembly, and one of the most prominent clergymen In. the United States, said: "The intermarriage of close relatives would brlng'about a deterioration of ths race. The best proof of this are some of the royal families of Europe. I do not think there is any danger of a change In the present marriage system. Civilized man would revolt against intermarriage of relations because of that something within him which controls his conscience. The Rev. Clarence Edward Macartney, pastor of the old Arch Street Presbyte rian Church, said that he did not think the civilized world would consider the possibility of the intermarriage of close relatives seriously. "The moral fence," said Mr. Macartney, "could not be broken down to permit such a thing. In this country and In other civilized countries there is too much feel ing of repulsion against tho intermarriage of close relatives to permit it to come with the sanction of the law and the church. If such a condition should ever exist, although I am not fearing that it ever will, all the happiness that comes through life and the romance that adds to the Joys of the home would be killed. Love and romance In the home mean everything to the proper rearing of the child. We all know of the unfortunate condition of children reared In homes tn which there Is no love between the par ents. If there was an Indiscriminate in termarriage of closn relatives the people would live together like a lot of animals. ' BOY SCOUT FIELD DAY Greater Camden District Will Hold Athletic Contest.
