CAN RELIGION STEM THE TIDE?

DIVORCE IN RHODESIA, RENO, MEXICO AND MOSCOW.

One divorce is being granted every Fre minutes at Reno, Nc- varta, U.S.A., where the "aix weeks' residence" qualification be- gan to operate in May, writes Mr. WJ, Makin in the London Evening Standard. There have been, 3000 requests for rooms in the town. Divorces in Britain have increased from 658 a year in 1915. to nearly 8000 year. Easy marriage is becoming a world-wide problem. Can the Churches solve it î

Some day a satiric novelist,, will give us a description of the ten- dervous of those about to be divor- ed. Paris used to be a delightful ono until the laws were tightened by the French Minister of Justice, Reno, of course, is still superbly exciting, while lovers who rom ticise, about "running water" ars not so attractive to the modern evalo da those who squat beside the Niagara Falls and the Victoria Falls waiting for the big envelopes that tell them of liberty..

Britons in the Dominions acem to have eased the divoreo laws South Africa,; I would say, makes divorce casier than the United States. This, in a country where

has such a powerful influence, is really surprising...

The unhappily married in Cape-e town or Johannesburg have no need to go through tordid business of the hotel register and the maid as paid witness.
