No human tribunal has the power to co mpel either man or woman to full the most sacred of marriage vows and faith. fully act up to the spirit of the nameless obligations of the marriage contract, and which involves the happiness or misery through a whole age. Innumerable mur- ders and suicides have resulted from the` hopelessness of obtaining, relief from the wrongs and miseries of violated marriage v obligations. The fear of the Spectator that a Divorce Court in this country would in- troduce the practice of the "Chicago! . Twenty minutes for divorce. is also groundless. A Court, with limited and well dened powers, would shut, out the much to be deprecated American easy di- vorce system and would furnish relief in cases where there is just and suflicient cause. Such a Court, the ADVANCE is satised, would be acceptable to the Canadian peo- ple. .The Spectator may also make light of the cry against one law `for the rich and another for the poor. While we readily admitthat it "is sometimesinade saduse of, it is nevertheless a fact that in many` cases there is one law for the rich and `an- other for the poor, and that is one of the `causes of the serious antagonism between ' rich and poor which year by year is becom- lug-intensiedg Itislclearly in the interests . .

The , Spectator : objections do not appear to be `based on very solid ground and will not bear the test of critical analysis; neither will the quotation from this "journal, which forms the text for the Spectator s . article, in any way justify its conclusions. - The Anvwon has as much respect for the". , sacredness of the marriage tie as the Spec- -tater can possibly have. and without just and suicient cause it should be tndissol- uhle. If the Spectator s contention is right, that divorce should not be granted .:at all, the case is closed, but the Specta- tor s contention is not right. The founder- of Christianity himself has recognized the right of divorce for the violation of the vow of delity, and what he has indicated as right the Spectator will nd it diicult to prove wrong.

A review of the main events of the expiring year might be inirelting if space permitted. Many people will, how- ever, remember them if they desire to do a little retmlpeetion. Most of us perhaps are more concerned for the" future than with the past. Everyone hopes that the inoomingeyear may be one of good f0l'1 J to himself.
