Let Protestant Girls Beware
By Editor
Let Protestant Girls Beware.—We take the following from a strong, uncompromising Roman Catholic paper, the Western Watchman, of May 4: Some Catholic young men now deliberately get married before a Protestant minister because they would be in a position to avail themselves of a possible divorce in the future. They know that by such a ceremony they are not married in the eyes of the church, and a divorce decree would enable them to marry a Catholic wife at some future time. A man who had gone through the, to a Catholic, mock ceremony told us some time ago that such was his deliberate purpose; and it was only when a child was born and another natural tie bound him to its mother that he asked for a Catholic ceremony. Poor Protestant girls should be made aware of this cruel deception. They think the rupture with the church is a tribute to love, and they prize it; little do they know the villainy of these renegades. But what a basely low standard of morals these "Catholic young men" must have! It is good of the editor to warn the Protestant girls.
