Religious Obligations.

“It is an extraordinary fact that so many American men should be willing to shirk their religious obligations. They do it habitually, while in the days of courtship they may be found in the church, but after the wedding day they attend church less frequently, and by and by drop out altogether. This constitutes for many a woman her first serious domestic problem. She does not know what her duty is. She loves the church, and she also loves her husband. If he prefers to stay at home, she is likely to stay with him. In this way many a woman crucifies her spiritual inclinations and sinks down into the indifference of a worldly life.”—Charles E, Jefferson in Woman’s Homo Companion.
