X omen ^ IN THE HURCH J 111 a nj Fowler Dr. Cyril Forester Garbett, the Archbishop of York, recenty visit ing the United States, has recom mended to the Church of Eng- and that it appoint, in the post war years, “practical reconcilers” to help repair broken marriages. “I hope that there may be set a- part some experienced men and women,” he says, “to act as prac tical reconcilers, to whom hus band and wife can turn for ad vice, and with whom they can confidentially discuss their mar riage difficulties before they de cide on separation or divorce. There is much to be said for some simple service of rededica tion or renewal of marriage vows, which might be used by those who wish to make a new start.” GALLANT-BELK COMPANY HOME OF BETTER VALUES GREENWOOD, S.

The only true title to things is use, and good use in the long run is good title, while bad use is bad title. We will soon lose what we cannot use well, no matter how sure we are that we own it.”—Ferner Nuhn, in The Wind Blew from the West. “Farm boys serving overseas with the armed forces are im pressed with the primitive methods of farming in the countries they, visit. In Africa, in India, and in Italy, they find the crudest kind of implements being used, with human muscles doing most of the work of producing food.”—From editorial in The Furrow, Febru- ary-March, 1944.
