CHINESE AND ENGLISH

DISHOP LANDER'S MARRIAGE WARNING.

་་་་་

Following is the text of the warning to clergymen against the risks that attend the marriage of English women with Chinese, recently published by Bishop Lander in the Liverpool Diecezan Gazettë, of which a brief summary was sent out by Router

Those who know the Chinese people bam great respect for their many excel, lent qualitie. Their intelligence, indus-, try, sobriety, courtesy, power of endur- ance, sense of gratitude, and good nature make us love them.

this, I shall not be misunderving wid urge English clergy in this country to use the utmost caution and to make diligat inquiries before solemnising the marriage of Chinese men to English women. The latter in most cases do not realise how different are the social conditions in China. There the family, not the indivi- dual is the unit. Marriages are usually arranged by the heads of families-par- ents or grandparenta-not, by the bride and bridegroom themselves.'.

Chinese young men, except the very poorest, are married before they attain the age of twenty-one. A betrothal prob- ably takes place years before that, and is very difficult to break off, though the enh- tracting parties, havė never met.- Ever were a Chinese young man free when he left Chinn, his parents may since then have affinerd him to a Chinese girl,'even without his knowledge. Monogamy, though in theory the rule, is by no means the universal practice in China. A rich man will have as many wives as he likes and be none the less" respected by his neighbours. The position of secondary gives is such as co self-respecting English woman can endure. Abiost every Chi- Nese man intends to return to China sooner or later, In South China, I came across several European wives of Chinese mei, who told me that they had lived hap- pily enough with their husbands till thủy went to China; after that, in almost alt enses, they acknowledged that they had made a mistake. I hail frequently to get the assistance of benevolent friends to assist these unhappy women to return to England or the colonies, Upper-class Chinese parents are generally strongly opposed to their sons and daughters marrying those of another race. The Prosctive children of such marriages ought also to be considered. It is hap pily quite true that those of mixed par- entage are in no way inferior, mentally, physically, or spiritually to persons of pare European or Asiatic blood, but as things are at present they are in "danger in many parts of the world of suffering disabilities owing to ignorant and anjust rejudice. The Christian Church and the progress of Western thought are gradu- ally counteracting these disabilities, but ignorant prejudice and cruri enstoms die very slowly, not least in the East.

Of course, if the brillegom is an established and consistent Christian some of these pozik are greatly diminisherk We do not forget that in Christ Jeah we are alone, and the clergy will doubtless in all cases ascertain that the man is n Taptised Christian, But cren 50. the bride and her friends should have their eyes open to the pecular difficulties that may await her, and at least the need for special prayer for the grace of God to eet trials to faith. From which those who marry in their race are happily free.

BOSS CROKER'S WILL

COUNSEL AND WIFES INFLUENCE,

A probate action, in which the will of the inte Mr. Richard (Boss") Croker in favour of his second wife, Mra Beulah Croker, is contested by his 0, Mr. B. Croker, jun., and his daughter, Mrs. E. C. White, has heen heard in Dublin Mr. L FLC for Mr. Croker,

that Jasardner,

"of

nt the end his days Mr. Croker. be came fascinated by Д young and attrae-

hand

tive and as clover a woman as had over appeared in that court. Although the tast wrote was the band of Me, Croker and the voice that spoke was his voice, the mind that animated thein was the mind of Reulah Croker. He read letters between Mrs Croker and his children to show that they

were on affectionate terms up to end of 1914 when he married his secondl

Mr. Lardner said they a knew there were clover women in the world who twisted men around their little fingers and he suggested that this "be" of Tammany Hall who made his money in the traditions of the wigwam was fascinated by an Indian “princess” who turned out not to be a princess.

Mrs. Croker was recalled" und "pase co- phatic depials to the suggestion that she had ever been married before she married Mr. Craker. She denied that she had ever met Mr. Guy R. Marone or that she was ever known as Mrs. Marone.

The hearing had not concluded when the last mail left.
