CHRIST AND DIVORCE. ARCHDEACON'S REMARKABLE:
BOOK:
The Archdeacon of Westminster, the Ven. R. H. Charles, bas published a momentous treatise on "The Teaching of the New Testament on, Divorce (Wil Hams, and Norgate, us.), in which he im pugns the authenticity nf the proof)
·texts "
on which the Church has baseä its, non possumus on the divorce' ques
tion.
Canon B. H. Streeter, Fellow and Lecturer, Queen's College, Oxford, writes the following review of the work.

say, on this subject, but Dr. Charles has THE TIMES BOOK CLUB,
acceeded; and what he says must at least demand very serious consideration.
His main contention is briefly this: According to Deuteronomy (xxii. 22); adubers is punishable, not with divorse, but with death. Divorce of a wife by a husband is allowed (xxiv. 1). but on other grounds.
These other grounds are defined by the vague phrase: "if he hath found some unseemly thing in her."
At the time of our Lord the inter- pretation of this phrase divided the Pharisees with violent controversy ap.to the point of bloodshed.
The school of Shammai said the "un- seemly thing meant unchastity; the
books

school of Hillel averred that it included for it to-day
any cause whatever, even the seeing of n more pleasing woman. It was this dis puted point: ls divorce permissible. "for any cause " that was referred to, Christ for His opinion..
Therefore, argues Dr. Charles, it is to this disputed question alone--not to the undisputed question what happens in a clear case of adultery—that our Lord'," reply is relevant.
*
THE OLD AND THE NEW.
The old law punishing adultery with death was chuiged, shortly after our Lord's death, to a.law substituting im divorce of the woman as the penalty. This divorce was not optional, but obli- gatory; and, save that the woman might not marry ber paramour, either party was free to marry again.
Whether we suppose that Jewish prac tice in our Lord's time corresponded to the new law, shortly to be promulgated, or to the old law, "still theoretically valid, both the schools of Hillel and and Sham- mai were agreed in taking it for granted that adultery ended the marriage bond.
Dr. Charles thinks that our Lord also took this for granted, and that the words (Matt. xix. 9) "except for fornication," though added by the Evangelist, are a correct - interpretation of the Master's thought.
He also argues that Mathew's version of the incident is not derived from Mari (x. 2-12), as is commonly supposed, but From his second written source "Q" which most scholars believe to be an earlier and better authority for our Lord's sayings thau Mark, even if they do not agree with Dr. Charles in thinking that Mark also used it."-
THE IDEAL'OF "CHRINT..'
Dr. Charles' discussion of St. Paul's teaching is no less fresh and interesting, though space does not allow us to aum marise it here?
Whatever the final verdict, of scholar- ship on Dr. Charles' arguments may be. at least they will show that the practical. question of the Church's attitude to wards divorce to-day cannot be settled by an appeal to proof texts of such doubt- ful interpretation.
Quite clearly Christ considered life- long marriage the ideal, and He express. ed that view without any ambiguity.
But because of the hardness of men's hearts" Moses permitted divorce.
That Christ would have forbidden the authorities of Church and State, the men who to-day " sit in Moses' seat," to make any similar allowance," it is difficult to maintain.
The only question is: How much allowance?
KISSING CUSTOM.
ERASMUS AND ENGLISH MAIDENS
OF HIS TIME.
ln the course of a casu
at home in which a "Singing Doctor Was COD. corned,
Counsel observed that he had had an opportunity of looking up the quotation of Erasmus which his lordship.had given the previous afternoon on the habit of kissing in England.
Your Lordship," counsel remarked, was perfectly right as to the origin. It occurs in the letter of Erasmus to Faustus Andrelinus, exhorting him to go to England, and is as follows:-
There are, muidens, there beautiful as goddesses, of 4 disposition: bath charming and yielding, and such as you would infinitely prefer to your
muses.
Moreover, they have a custom that has never received the praise it merits. If you go anywhere you will be wel comed with kisses from all of them. If you have occasion to leave any place. they will speed you on your way with kisses. You kiss and are kissed.
Does one of them come to see you delicious attentions are forthcoming. Does one go away from you an inter change on set one somewhere else you
of kisses is the zula. kiss your fill. In short, wherever you' go all is sheer delight."
His Lordship.In what language is it? Mr. Hastings-It is written in Latin and English. My learned friend (Mr. Lewis Thomas, KC, for the defence) can have it in which he likes, (Laughter.):
I have several friends who would be all the botter for a little wife-beating con- ducted with moderation and humanity Mille-Iria de Villiers.
