SANCTITY OF THE MARRIAGE LAWS.
IS IT IMPERILLED? By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, Last Xijat. At the Anglican Synod to-night a resolution moved by Rev. H. Mason was carried deploring the increase of facilities for divorce afforded in recent years by file Houses of Legislature of this Dominion, stigmatising tli. same j as a blot upon our Christianity, and a direct incentive to immorality, and appealing to all Christian people bv every means within their power to spare no effort to rouse a healthy public opinion upon this matter. The mover held that the divorce law had aimed a heavy blow at the sanctity of the marriage tie. He also commented strongly on the provision in the Marriage Act for marriage with deceased wife's sister, etc., characterising them as directly opposed to the law of affinity as laid down in the Prayer Book.
