Sermon By Dean Farthing--He Has Small Patience For a Wo- man Striving to Be 'a Man's Equal. "The family is the basis of our social #nd national life and the puri- {ty of marriage is the basis of family life,'" said Dean Farthing as he began his. sermon to students how in the city, in Bt. George's athedral, at evénsong, on Sunday. "The status of marriage is the harometer of a na- tion's power," he went. on, and then showed how the fall of the older na- tions of the world had come when woman ceased to bé man's companion and the marriage bond came to he held in light regard. Touching on divorce the preacher said that it was to the everlasting glory and honor of the Canadian church that she had, at general synod in 1905, forbidden her priests to re- marry those divorced, no matter what the cause. The mysterious, God- made union of life could never be dis- solved by the decree of man. The dean has small patience with a woman striving 'to be a man's equal. "She is his equal now, but in a dif- ferent way. Thus each is the help- meet for the other.' In scathing tones and words the preacher denounced those who talk of a "good" marriage How man has money, when most likely he is a gilded reprobate. "lLove, true, pure, love, is. the only possible basis of, a 'good' or happy marriage, and children its = crowning joy. Pity the homes where there is not the soften- ing. influence of a little child," The dean quotéd Augustine's words = "Hf Giod wanted woman to rule man, He would have taken her from his head; ii He desired her to be his slave, He would have taken her from man's feet', but as -He intended woman for man's companion, He took her from cide. "And so side by side, in the joy and the sorrows of life they go, till their true, pure love, is merged in the great love of God." Hiring Wedding Presents. New York Mvening Post.
