MARRIAGE DOES NOT RESTRICT BUT ENNOBLES LIFE
“Marriage is inot a restriction but an enlarging and ennobling of life, and it takes all the gifts of a woman to make a house a home, as God meant a home to be,” said the Rev. R. T. Dodds, in a talk on the sanctity of marriage at the. monthly meeting of the Whakatane League of Mothers. He protested against the spirit shown by many women today. In their selfish love for pleasure they forgot their babies, who were brought up without the nourishment they should receive.
