Siu,—Why is it that those who base their oppodition to
divorce on Matthew v, 32, read no further in the Sermon on the Mount ?
The next verse condemns all those who, unlike Quakers and Free- thinkers, take an oath in a court of law or elsewhere. A few verses more, and every member of the armed forces, every policeman, every judge and lawyer and all who take advantage of legal processes, every person whose name appears on a public subdcription list, every holder of an insurance policy, indeed every man and woman who has an insurance card in our social security schemes, is just as surely subject to condemnation as he who puts away his wife or marries her that is divorced.
Why, then, this discrimination ? Why, except for that preoccupation with the physical manifestations of sex that has characterised so many in the Christian Church since St. Paul revolted against the cult of the Ephesian Diana ?—Yours faithfully,
14 Hinchley Drive, Esher. E. Rovsrohr PIKE.
