Marriage and Divorce

In the French Revolution when the flood-gates of vice were opened, there were twenty thousand divorces granted in France, in about a year and a half. Yet in Connecticut and Indiana, which stand as representative States in this respect, there were granted, in 1866, a greater number of divorces, in proportion to their population, than were granted in France during the French Revolution. And they have by no means grown less since that year. What a vitiated state of society does this denote. These facts we gather from an article on marriage and divorce, in The Methodist, of Sept. 12, 1868.
