The Marriage Question.
To the Hdifor of the Examiner.
Deak Sre,—! have read with much in- terest your report of the Rev. Mr. Hodg- son’s sermon on the marriage question. It is, I think, to be regretted that other clergymen of othor denominations do not
the standpoint of Christians and men of
common serse. The carnival of lust which isgoing on: mong certain classes inthe United States shor id warn us against in any way doing anyt og to weaken the marriage tie or lower t)e sanctity of the marriage rite,
or relax restraints, the utility of which have been proved. It is evident to my mind that if the Bill which was last year bv the Senate, becomes law,
thrown ott , result. Much better, in
this will e the let those who wish to marry
my Opinio) : ' their brotiers in-law, or their sisters-in- law, got) the United States, or get a
special dispensation from the Pope, than have that Bill made law. The practice of the Roman Church seems to me a reason- able and proper one. It forbids these mar- riages ; but if good cause be shown that one is, by reason of unusual circumstances or for special reasons, necessary or de-
sirable, it relaxes the rule in that parti- cular case The Presbyterian Church is I note very
emphatic in its prohibition. The Westmin- ster confession says (Cap XXIV see 5.) “ Marriave ought not to be within the degrees of consanguinity or aflinity forbid- den in the word ; nor can such incestuous marriages ever be made lawful by any law of man, or consent of parties, so as those per- sons may live together as man and wife, The man may not marry any of his wife's kindred noarer in blood than he may of his he woman of her husband's kindred
oun, nor nearer in blood than her own.”
Before Parliament passes an Actin de- fiance of che laws of Roman, English and
Scottish Churches, and in direct opposition to the Clheistians idea, that the man and the wife are one flesh they should at least be certain th vt it will not operate to the disad-' Yantawe « -ociety as at present formed. Yours, ete., W.

fo the Ed tor of the Exvminer,—
Dear Sia,—In the report of a Sermon. preached ly Rev. G. W. Hedgson, as publish- | ed inthe Examrver of 15th inst, there is a Bentene) » uich is cal ulated to convey a false idea of the difspliue of the Catholic Church regarding dispensati ns. The words are; “Ordinar ly tuese dispensations are not pro- cured without a money payment.” It might
inferre | from this that the Church sells dis- Pensation from her disciplinary laws. I can. | Mot suppose that Mr. Hodgson believes the tenseless and malicious tales of old-time
igots. } he Church teaches that Matrimeny, being |
hi ee rae ee ee Nee el
a Sacrament, belongs to her province, not to that of the Civil power. She reeognizes some impediments as belonging to the natural law, in which she cannot «dispense. There are the qualities of son, grandson, ete., in regard to mother, grand mother, etc. But she herself, of her supreme legislative power, as represen- tative ef Christian earth, has, for the physical and general moral geod of mankind, placed certain impediments, from which, for suffi cient reasons, she may grant dispensations. Only rarely, and for some very grave reason, does she dispense with first cousins. This is blood relationship of the second degree, and its mingling is more abhorrent to nature, and its physical effects more disastrous, than that of any grade of affinity can possibly be.
When the Church grants a dispensation, she makes @ concession to a reasonable desire of her child ; but that child onght to de some good work in lieu of the observance of the law from which he is exempted. Hence he gives something * tor pious uses,’’ such as hospitals, building churches, etc.; but he does net buy the favor. Another reason is. that a ceurt to examine canses and to grant, if the causes are sufficient, dispensation, has to be maintained. [t is only reasonable that those who use that Court should help to support 1t by paying cer- tain fees. i may add, thatin the case of poor persons, certified as such by the priest, neither fees nor money for pious uses is ex- acted ; instead of the latter some good work, which the applicant can perform, is enjoined. It can easily be seen from this that dispensa- tions are not bought, or sold, in the Church,
No Act of Parliament regarding impedi- ments to marriage would aftect our religious obligations The Church discourages the marriage of persons related by consanguinity and affinity ; enly for some very good reason will she, in a special case, relax her code of discipline. The Civil Law should simply recognize the Canonical in all that pertains te the validity of marriage; and people should recognize the authority of the Church to place, and to remove, as she judges well, im- pediments. This must be the Christian view of the case, unless one wishes to accuse Christ of being either unable or unwilling to consti- tute a Church which might be ‘the Way, the Truth and the Life” to all time.

Souris, Nev. 22, 1880.
To the Editor of the Examiner.
Srr,--This morning I purchased a ticket at the Souris Railway Station for Five Houses Station. This, I considered, was all right, and in strict accordance with the laws regulating the farce called a Railway, which we have in this country. When | reached the Selkirk Station, which is, I suppose, five miles east of where I intended I would have been left, I was politely in- formed by the Conductor that I would have to get off here, as the train did not stop at the Station for which I purchased my ticket in Sonris, viz., Five Houses. When I wanted to come back in the evening, I had to walk from Five Housesto St. Peter's Bay Station, to get om board the train which should have stopped for me at Five Honses. Can you, Mr. Editor, enlighten me on this head ?
