(Bnecial Cor'respondent.)
LONDON, May 15. The view that it shoujd be inipossible for a divorced person to niarry again w'hile liis oi* her former partner vvas still aliye, was expressed by the Bisliop of 8t. "Albans, Dr. Lloyd, at 8t. Albans diocesan conference in Bedford.' "I dori 7t give my perniission for the mar iiage of"* divorced persons to be performed in tlie cjiurcli while divorced partners are still alive nor do I sanction any blessing of a marriage performed in a regislry office, 77 lie said. "1 knovy tliere are people who thinh that this is a very liarfi rule ,to obser/e. But we are with our backs against the vv*all fighting to mahitahi tlie sanctity of Christikn marriage. The humber of divorces is terrible and the only remedy is to make it as it was fifty years ago, iintjiinkablo for a communicant to riiarry again while his or 'her former partner is still alive. Nothing less than the strict Observance of that rule is going to stay the rot.'7
