"Few things," he added, "are more demoralizing than to yield to the tyranny of superstition-that moral and intellectual corrosive which destroys the will and undermines the character. . . .

Last week's appeal was lodged not by the husband or wife but by the Anglican clergyman who married them. He had been attacked for performing the marriage and decided to prove he had a legal as well as a spiritual right to do so. Four of the five judges who upheld him are Roman Catholics...
