PASTORS AGAINST
EASY DIVORCE
111 '
Oregon City Minister's Paper
Before Presbyterian Asso
ciation Starts Discussion.
"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. .

ceded tha paper it was announced that
