"Marriage and Divorce" waa the sub ject of the paper read to the Presby terian minister's meeting this morning by Rev. W. R. Landsborough of Oregon City. Mr. Landsborough explained that tha unusual number of divorces grantee in Clackamas county was due to It wil lingness to accommodate lta neighbors. and not because of lta own demands. In the year Just past there were, he said, 234 divorces granted In the county court. He condemned hasty and thoughtless marriages and thought so ciety should be Instructed that marri age Is not merely for convenience but a holy alliance founded on mutual lova Mr. iandsDorough s paper was a plea for a uniform divorce law and a closer allegiance to the principles governing such caaes as laid down in the scrip ture which aeem to recognise but two ground for divore. aduitecy an do- sertlon. In the discussion which followed Rev. Charles Hayes spoke of th stand which a minister can take In refualng to mar ry persons when on ha prerioualy been married aftd' haa obtained a dl- iv.vih n mm ...... hui . J w . atlnh raramnnv tinlaaa tha rilttntva Hia ' been granted on one of these two scrip tural grounds and thought that in case a divorce la granted under , any other rovlslon remarriage should be "denied oth parties: that the stand taken bv Christian people while It might work a naraship on aom persons would help to form a healthier sentiment in rela tion to this question. 'He questioned whether the absolute refusal of a man to support hla family could be construed as desertion under the ' scriptural rounds. Many ministers answered his in the affirmative unofficially but no one was found who would Btate It aa an absolute conviction. Rev. E. M. Sharp said that the ad herence to the principle of one cause only for divorce, (adultery) as held in New York, has resulted in New York s legalising polygamy, since under the existing law a man may go from New Tork and obtain a divorce in another state, and may then return to New York and marry another woman. By exercis ing this privilege, he said there are men living In New York who are now legally married to three or four differ ent women. -Under a -uniform divorce law this condition could not exist Rev. J. R. McQlade thought that the Presbyterian church a a body should take a positive stand to show its dis favor of th present : method of easy divorce. ''Rev.- A,-J. Montgomery stated a his opinion that the, newspapers should be urged to keep out of their reports the disgraceful testimony which accompanies many divorce suits, and that in cases of this kind the Judge ahould clear the court, of the mob of moral perverts which waits for It. Rev. Landsborough stated as his opinion that the present law in Oregon should be amended to make residence in the county for one year necessary before bringing divorce suit. .
