Urge Crusade Against Divorce Alarmed at the increasing number of divorces in thte United States, the gen eral assembly adopted resolutions urg ing a campaign of education on the subject of marriage and divorce, and instructed all Presbyterian ministers "to preach upon the sanctity of mar riage and the evils of divorce nt least once a year." The synods were urged to take up the matter of Improved codes pertaining to marriage and di vorce, and, with the aid of members of the legal profession, to petition their respective legislatures for more defi nite legislation upon" the divorce ques tion. The committee on Christian life and work, which called attention to the divorce evil, stated that the average number of divorces in this countrv Is about one to every twelve marriages. The case of a Chicapo matron was cited who has Just received her fifth divorce from the courts. Ministers were cautioned against officiating at the wedding of divorced persons, and figures given to show that in the State of California 21,000 divorced persons were married again In the last seven yea rs. Pennsylvania divorce law was ctted by the committee as being specially reprehensible, making divorce easy. Tills Indictment brought a protest from the Rev. Dr. William C. Hogg, of Wllllamsport, who said he considered the Pennsylvania law a good one and asked wherein the New Jersey law, for Instance, was superior to it.
