Show OGDEN, UTAH. i CHRISIAN MARRIAGE. Sermon by Rev. Father Ryan of Salt . Lake Sanctity, Dignity and Responsibility Re-sponsibility of Marriage Referred To. Rev. Father W. K. Rvan. of Sah Lake, was in Ogden Sunday, a visitor, and read the last mass at the church, after which ne preached the sermon. Father Ryan is one of those priests who never write their sermons, but sneak them out from the heart, and Sunday he was mo;--t eloquent elo-quent in his expounding of the parti -u-lar doctrine he put forth. Nor was it a new subject, but one that should be more frequently heard from the pulpit. Broadly, his subject was "Marriage, Its Sanctity and Dignity, and the Responsibilities Re-sponsibilities Which Attach to Thai Relation." Many people, in fact. :i great proportion, propor-tion, fail to consider the responsibilities responsibili-ties of marriage when they enter into it. Matrimony is a great and grand relation. It is the bond under which posterity is brought into this life, and ! before the covenants of matrimony arc entered into the contracting parties t should have acquired a sense of the responsibility of the relation they are about to assume. But many people enter the relation without a sense of the civil, moral or religious responsibilities imposed. The majority of such marriages give the divorce courts much to do. because the people making such alliances are usually usu-ally of the class where the moral training of the children has not been thorough. Take care of she mental training of the child: sec to its moral and religious training, and there v ill be no rebellion hi juveniles ttrainst the parental control. It is this class, said Father Ryan those who enter into the no'.y reiacion of marriage, erter it without mature or cultivated sense of the responsibilities responsibili-ties and who have not received ihe moral and religious training so essential essen-tial to human successful effort and human hu-man happiness that furnish the heavy grinds lor the divorce courts. No man or woman can fully discharge dis-charge their obligations to society unless un-less the n-oral sentiment has been developed, de-veloped, and the truly religious sentiments senti-ments are cultivated and made a concrete con-crete part of the: human structure, and this must be done in the oarly childhood child-hood days and continued through life without intermission. The father then went on to say that the several great crises now confronting confront-ing the world are due to the fact that the religious sense is being exterminated exterminat-ed by many of the civil governments of the world and that when that i3 extinguished ex-tinguished in the hearts of a majority of the people of any nation, anarchy is near at hand. He cited the present crisis in France, where, he said, the-anti-church party proudly boasts that they have eliminated the Almighty and the Savior as elements in the daily life of the adherents of the church, though it had taken a hundred years to accomplish ac-complish it. Intolerance is the result of the failure fail-ure to impress high moral training and religious sentiment; to inculcate the responsibilities of the marriage "elation, "ela-tion, and no nation that treats these three important vital questions lightly can hope to be great and remain great. As your homes are, so will be the nation na-tion of which these ' hom?s are the units." Salt Lake Tribune, Jan. 27. Word has been received in Ogden to the effect that John C.
