Written for the Tuiacas
My Mother.
BT J. Q. M.
My Mother ! Oh, what cam she had,
ffleu I was weak ami young ;
Her dally watch was o'er my bcJ,
When silent ksj my tongue.
Who can measure a Mother’s lore ?
Its limits have no bounds,
'Tis ever noting, finalng out,
T<> i>rcad sweet comfort 'round.
When I am well she’s good and kind,
And ready to ke.o*
Some word to guide ray future path,
While I am here below.
Yts, she has taught me how to pray.
To look to Uoil altove;
That all my hopes and faith should rest,
In Jesus' pardoning love.
When 1 was sick, such tender care.
There's nor on earth can tell;
Unceasing, full of tenderness,
Vre, she does love me well.
I asked, what tribute shall I pay?
She answered with much lore;
Obey the Saviour here below.
And meet me up above.
God grant that while I live, I may
My Mother’s voice obey ;
To read the bible, trust ra t God,
And never cease to pray.
Yes, I should ever thankful be.
To her that's been so kind ;
That taught my lisping lips to pray.
To th* Saviour of Mankind.
Now she is old and feeble too.
Her journey soon will end ;
Soon will she hear her Saviour say :
Come up, join with your friends.
Her life has been a life of faith.
Her all to Christ's been given ;
She need not fear when death does come,
Her soul will go to Heaven.
Should not 1 then, a lesson learn.
Ah'* walk by faith and love ;
Live righteous, trust my all to God,
And meet h*r up above?
The Law of Divorce.
Testimony <>t the I'rotestant Commentators
as to the <*'/,• Testament l.oiv of Di
vorce.
There are multitudes in tlie Church
who do not know what is the doctrine
of the Church on this subject, nor
what are the opinions of its standard
writers and theologians. \ err many
even of llie clergy are not in posses
sion of these works, and we have
thought they would he gratified and
instructed to learn that the standards
of <uir Church are so uniformly sus
tained by almost the entire hodv of
Protestant commentators. AVe do
not propose to ourselves the task of
presenting in a newspaper article all
that this large hodv of men have
written on this subject. "We only
propose to present brief extracts
from a number of the most prominent
and authorative as samples of the
b< dy. Our Church standards, the
•'Confession of Faith, declares that
the Xew Testament contains two
grounds of divorce: adultry. Matthew
v. d'J ; and uilju/l desertion, i. Corin
thians vu. 15.
Fays the great and learned Dr.
John Owen, ‘* This has been the con
slant doctrine of all the churches in
the world.” Dr. Hodge calls it the
Protestant doctrine.’ It carries an
authority belonging to no single de
nomination. Our Church does not
siand alone; it is the doctrine of all
Protestant Christendom. W e admit
that thoreare exceptional names. We
might get abundant confirmation of
our standards from the most illustrious
names in the early ages of the Church ;
as e. g.. Chr. Theophvlact,
Oecumetiius, Hilary, &<•., &c. Hut
we propose to confine ourselves to the
Protestant period. We cannot just
now put our hand upon Luther, though
he is quoted as holding to this view.
We will begin therefore with ('al
vin. the prince of the Reformers.
Commenting on 1 Cor. vu. 15, he
HEIFER
says :
“ This is the second department of
his statement, in which be ( Paul)
sets at libertv a believing husband who
is prepared to dwell with an unbeliev
ing wife, but is rejected by her; and
in like manner a woman who is with
out any fault on her part repudiated
by her husband. There is therefore
in tliis case a special reason, inasmuch
as the first and chief bond (of mar
riage ) is not merely loose but broken
through.”
Next we cite Grot Lous, the great
Dutch genius, jurist, and theologian
of the seventeenth century, whom, if
wo remember. Milton calls the most
learned man of Ids time. Comment
ing on the above passage* •• A brother
<*r sister ia n it under bondage in such
cases.” he says ; “he is not obliged to
remain single, or to await or seek to
procure a reconciliation."
Rosenmueller, on the same j ns 1
9 rr r* •
1 : ■ ivings] ms wial is to
separate himself from the believing
*pous“, let bin' separate himself, The
The Christian man or woman U not
tied up ( by fixed laws ) in such cases,
Ife is not obliged to remain single, or
fo await or seek to procure a recou
: cilialion.”
Matthew Henry on the same;
“ If the unbelieving relative desert
♦be believer, and no means can recon
| rile to a co-habitation, in such cas r - a
brother or sister is not in bondage ;
not tied up to the unreasonable humor,
and bound servil-ly to fdl iw or cleave
i to a malicious deserter ; or not bound
it,*'..vc u..married. It and os not tcoru
reasonable that they should be still
bound, when it is rendered impossible
to perform conjugal duties or to enjov
conjugal comforts, through the mere
fault of their mate. In such a case
marriage would he a state of servi
tude indeed."
Doddridge ‘.
‘•lf the unbelieving partv. In such
circumstances a- these, be absolutely
determined, and will depart, let him
or her depart and lake the course
they think best ; and tHe consequence
is that a brother <>r sist*-r who bath
been united to such a wife er husband,
in matrimoial bunds, is by such con
duct of a former partner discharged
from future obligation.”
McK night:
The Apostle bad declared that the
married partv who maliciously desert
ed the other was not at liberty to mar
rv during the other's fife'. Here he
declares that the party who was will
ing to continue the marriage, but was
deserted, notwithstanding a reconcili
ation had been attempted, was at lib
erty to marrv. And his decision is
just; because there is no reason whv
the innocent party, through the fault
of the guilty party, should be exposed
to the sin of committing adultry.”
Dr. John Owen :
‘•The Apostle Paul expressly sot?
the party at liberty to marry, who H
maliciously ami obstinately dcsertej ;
affirming that the Christian religion
doth not prejudice the natural right
and privilege of men in such cases.
If a person obstinately depart, on
pretense of religion or otherwise, and
will no more co-habit with a husband
or wife, it is known by the law of na
ture and the usage of all nations the
deserted partv is at liberty to marrv.
What shall a brother or sister that is
a Christian do in this case if he is so
departed from? Faith the Apostle:
• They are not in bondage; they are
free and at liberty to marry again."
This is the constant doctrine of all the
churches in the word. ’
A 1 ford :
The meaning is. let the unbeliever
depart rather than by attempting to
retain the union, endanger that peace
of household and peace of spirit
which is part of the calling of a Chris
tian. Observe there is no contradic
tion in this license of breaking oil
such a marriage to 1 lie command of
our Hord, Matt. v. J 2.... Wc may
safely assume that win re the Apostle
is distinctly referring to our Lord’s
command, and supplying what it did
not contain, there can be no real in-
consistency ; if such appear it must
be in our apprehension, not in hi-:
words.'’
Whitby ;
Jf then those words: ‘-A brother
or sister is nut under bondage, do so
import, they are not obliged to live
unmarried; such a total and perpetual
desertion must desolve the matrimony
and render the deserting person as
dead unto the other.
1) r. (J ill:
Nor are they hound to remain un
married ; but are free to marry anoth
er person after all proper methods
have been tried for a reconciliation.
Desertion, in such a case and attended
with such circumstances, is a breach
of the marriage contract and a dissolu
tinn of the bond.
De Wettc:
Undoubtedly the meaning here is
that the marriage bond is broken.-
The positive side of this thought, the
right to marry again. * * may be
inferred by correct deduction.
Dr. Hodge'•
The command in the ] receding verse
was founded on the assumption that
the unbelieving party consented tore
main in the marriage relation. It the
unbeliever refused thus to remain, the
believer was then free. The believer
was nut to repudiate the unbelieving
husband or wife ; but if the unbeliever
broke up the marriage, the Christian
partner was thereby liberated from
the contract.
This is the interpretation which
Protestants have almost universally
given to this verse. It is a passage
of 2 rent importance, 1 n, ’- , e ’t is the
foundation of the Protestant doctrine
that wilful desertion is a legitimate
ground of divorce. And such is cer
tainlv the natural sense of the pas
sage.
The question before the Apostle
was. “What is to be done in lDe "am
of these mixed marriages ? IDs ans
wer is. “ Let not the believer put
awar the unbeliever, for Christ has
forbidden a man to put nwav b>s wife
for anv cause save that of adultery.”
Matt. V. M 2. Hut if the unbeliever
break up the marriage, the believer is
nc onger bound. There is no conflict
here between Chr>'* J er ne <and end
Paul's instruct!' - ns. Both say a man
cannot put away his wife (nor, of
course, the wife her husband) on ac
count of difference of religion, or for
anv other reason than the cue above
specified. The Apostle only nods
that if the believing party be without
just cause put away, he or she is free.
If the unbeliever consent to remain,
the believer is bound ; if the unbeliev
er will not consent, the believer is not
bound. In the one case the marriage
contract binds him ; in the other case
,it does not. bind P in. This semis to
be the simple meaning of the passage.
> Others understand the A cost.e a.
saying that the believer is not bound
to crjutinu? the marriage ; tliat is. is
under no obligat ion to live with a part
ner who i- unwilling to live with him.
Hut the one part of the verse should
be allowed In eXpiait! the other,
j An obligation which is said to exist
I in one case. I’aul denies the existence
iof in another. If tin* unbeliever is
willing to remain, the believer is bound
by the marriage contract; but if lu
be unwilling, she is not bound by the
marriage contract.
Idr. Addison Alexander on Matt.
\ . U 2; and Mark X: 11. 12 •
In opposition to this prevalent per
j version of a merciful provision in the
law, our •"biviour teacher that, so far
from making divorce easier, he intend
;ed to forbid it altogether, as the law
did, with the single exception ol those
cases when the contract had been an
nulled by the Conduct of ntie party,
that is. by desertion—l Cor. VII. 16
—or adultery—Mark X. 11, 12.
" Put a“'ay," therefore, in verse 12,
must either be * xplanted to mean de
sertion by wife (compare 1 Cor.
\ 11. 12, 13;) tv hick onlv differs from
div orce in the absence of the legal
form (which was the writing of the
bill of divorcement bv the husband),
or understood as a prospect ive regula
tion, not confined m force or substance
to the Jewish practice. The, viola
tion of the marriage vow bv either
party is itsell a dissolution of the mar
riage relation, w hich ought not to be
regarded as still binding on the other.
Conybeare and Ilowson translate 1
Cor. \ 11. 16, thus :
Hut it the unbelieving husband or
wife seeks lor a divorce, let it not he
hindered. For in such cases the be
lieving husband or wife is not hound
to remain under the yoke.
< nr limits will not permit us to
quote from any others. We will
simply remark, tliat if the learned
commentators of the Church are com
petent witnesses, the doctrine of the
('hutch on this subject ought not to
be considered in conflict with the
teachings of the New Testament.—
Hoth admit two and onlv two grounds
ot law ful divorce.
Visitto Daniel Boone.
In Juno. 1810. 1 made a trip of one
hundred miles for the purpose of paint
ing the portrait of old Col. Daniel
Hoone. 1 had miicli trouble in finding
him, lie was living some miles from the
main road, in one of the cabin? of an
old block house which was built for
the protection of the settlers against
the incursions of the Indians. 1 found
that the nearer 1 got to the dwelling
the less was known of him.
\\ hen within two miles of his house
I asked a man to tell me where Col.
Boone lived. He said lie did not
know any such man.
“ W he, yes you do, said his w ife.
Its that white-bended old man who
lives on the bottom, near the river.
A good illustration of the proverb
that a prophet is not without honor
save in bis own conntv.
1 found the object of mv search en
gaged in cooking ids dinner, lb,* was
lying in bis bunk, near the fire, with
a long strip of venison wound around
his ramrod, and was busy turning it
before a brisk blaze, and using salt ami
pepper to season his meat, iat once
told him the object of mv "visit. J
found that he hardly knew What 1
meant. 1 explained the matter to
him, and he agreed to >it. lie was
ninety years old, and rather infirm ;
bis memory of passing events was
much immured, vet he would amuse
me every day by bis anecdotes of bis
earlier life.
I ask and him one dav, after his des
cription of his lon.tr hunts, if he never
got lost, having no t otnprir-s.
“ So, said he, “ 1 can t say os ever
I was lost, but 1 was bt'rildered once
for three davs.
II e was much astonished at seeing
n
the likeness.
He bad n 'rry large progeny; one
grand "daughter had eighteen children,
all at home near the old man’s cabin.
