to the mcrnase m meat consumption
since 1810 and tells thu people they
would be healthier If they returned to
the comparative vegetarianism of their
forefathers.
The chapter on household economy Is
especially Interesting. "Vegetable food

Mr Dreyfus said that the food prob-ii-m

slblllty of a crop failure which would

,The Rev. Charles K. Gilbert and Dr. George Clarke
Houghton Join in Condemning Utterances of
the Rev. Percy Stickney Grant.
Further condemnation or the utter
I'lices of the Rev. Percy Stickney Grntit,
rector of tho. Church of the Ascension,
Tenth street and Fifth avenue, on the
subject of divorce was voiced yesterday
by other I Jplscopallan clergymen, who
uphold the views of Rlshop Greer and
tho Rev. Dr. William T. .Manning, lector
l f Trinity Church, already published.
Meanwhile nil efforts to get Mr Grnnt
to veilfy or enlarge upon the statements
' attributed to him nt a Lenten service in
Ids chtitcli on Mondav continued yester
day to be without result. It was said at
the rectory that the Re .Mr Grant was
ill In bed
Tho Rev Charles K fillbeit, edllor
of the ChurrUmnn. the olllcial organ of
the episcopal Church, ' said jesterdny
that Instead of letting down its barriers
to divorce the Church, he considered,
was under obligation to meet a very
1 dangerous .situation confronting the na
1 tiou and should Interest heraelf lu the
tevlsion of the civil statutes looking to
ward a stricter upholding of the mar
riage ties.
.Mr. Gilbert upheld the canon adopted
by the Church at Cincinnati In HilO,
which refuses marriage to the guilty
person divorced on stattitnrv grounds
while consenting to the remarriage of
the liiniKent party after the lapse of
ye-ir
Points On) llltiiKer.
"Hv the exceipts from Dr. Grant's
sermon.'' he said. "It appears he would
. oncede divorce fo other reasons than
violation of the Seventh Commandment
1 think that would be x'ery dangerous
nnd that granting divorce on the single
statutory gtound Is the only safe tenet
oil which to base legislation. While th
granting of divorce for only one t.iuse
may in smno few lnstaia.es work injus
tice, greater injustice would be wotked
more generally by granting divorce for
such things as temperamental consider
ations. "One cannot but be aware of the ten
dency toward loosei marriage, a ten
ilency that goes even further than the
iigltatlnu for free love. If we had any
way of getting .it the facts I think we
would find that free love exists to an
appalling extent There Is great danger
for the home .is no institution from the
very radical agitation of feminists and
fanatics, who would upset all the tradi
tions of the unity and sanctity of the
home. It Is a very real crisis. Divorce
ns it exists in America Is 'pulxerlzltu;
lamllles,' to use a phrase of Hishop
Moreland.
"If we are to meet this situation the
Church should certainly not sanction the
looser tie. We should Interest ourselves
In getting the civil statutes tevised and
assist in the regulation of marriage bv
lousing publli. sentiment to the tnenniw1
of existing condition.. 1 would say that
the first of the duties of the Chureh In
this connection Is to do all possible to
provide effective legislation, and the sec-
md to arouse sentiment In the congic.
