v AN OUTSPOKEN BISHOP. ICNITZO POSSS MSOCIATIOS—M CT.XCISIO TEI.XOSAPH—GOFYBXGHX.) (Received February 23rd, 10.30 p.m.) ■ LONDON, February 23. The Bishop of London was ; outspoken in his condemnation of companionate- marriages and "weekending"- by young unmarried/ couples. Preaching at Chapel Royal, St. James, he Eaid that tho other day he had the greatest difficulty in persuad* ing a young mimed woman that went away with a man other than her ..husband for a day t or two that it was adultery.. She said: "What a' funny .thing to, call it." "That's what the Bible tolls it, I replied" The Bishop continued: ' "With this insidious teaching eroding in'from America, wo have to'look carefully, to see what is' tho teaching of our Lord, I find many people make,a great deaf"of the Lord's kindness woman who was takeii in adultery. Of- course He was kind, but we must not forget the rest of the Christian religion. The hody is a beautiful servant, but a terrible master. Christians must watch qvery cinema play to see, that it does not ' bring temptations, to the minds: of'the young." ,
