A LOTTERY BEIDE. HUSBAND DISAPPOINTED WITH
PRIZE.
Disappointed with his prize in a mat- rimonial lottery, a Vienna chemist sought a divorce on the ground that, during the ceremony in the church, he did not utter, the word " Yas" He only took the bride to the altar because she threatened suicide unless he did'sö
The pastor who performed the cere mony, and thao the witnesses, told the Court that they did not bear the bride groom say "Yes," but the former added, He must. however, bave murmured something, because if he had remained No when completely silent or said asked his consent, the ceremony would have been broken off In any case, the couple exchanged rings, joined hands, and received my blessing.
Divorce was refused by the Court on the grounds that the law does not de- mand utterance of the word "Yes."
apd that the exchange of rings, etc., left no doubt that the assent was moriously in- tended.
The bridegroom took the case to the Court of Appeal, who upheld the deci sion.

Elsia rapidly rose to screen fame. The Judge said Elsie had declared that she has been resident in Scotland for 15 days before marriage. If that WATC fa'ne, she exposed herself to the penalties for perjury.
THE
"DUMP" OF THE
CHURCH..
NEED OF DRIVING POWER."
The Bishop of St. Albans, writing to
his diocese says: "Some little time ago I was driving past what is now, I believe, called the Slough Trading Company. This company
took over from the Govern mert a huge dump of very sort of motor-car and motor-lorry, with thou- sands of spare parts and nil sorts of odda and ends.
It struck me aa being not- albogether unlike the Church of England. Ther

of England. It contains some of the finest machinery in the world. It's got all sorts of glorious spare parts, but they need to be mobiliard and sembled. Some of the machinery to is out of date and needs crap- Steps are being taken to that end. But one big thing it seems to lack, and that is the driving power to make the machinery go. Power and cohesion; those are the two great needs before us to-day in parish, Diocese, and country. and the glorious thing is that neither is. out of our reach. We can, if we' wish. get them both. Let's make the effort, then, and get them, and start doing so together this Lent."
