R 4 Dun & Co Weekly Review notes little new in business. Active factories, rising wages, shorter hours, and strong iron and steel output hint at 1902 growth.

Atlantic exports fall versus last year. New Manila petition seeks Chinese labor opening to aid development.

Marriage as a Sacrament in The World Beautiful In Books
Lilian Whiting argues that marriage is a sacrament when rooted in mutual love and spiritual reciprocity, not a mere legal contract or worldly gain. Without genuine trust and tenderness to sustain life together beyond material needs, marriage remains outside the sacred, existing in a divine sphere.
