_Polygamy._--1. Do the Jews at present, in any country, practise polygamy?
2. If not, when and why was that practice discontinued among them? 3. Is
there any religious sect which forbids polygamy, besides the Christians
(and the Jews, if the Jews do forbid it)? 4. Was Polygamy permitted among
the early Christians? Paul's direction to Timothy, that a bishop should be
"the husband of one wife," seems to show that it was; though I am aware
that the phrase has been interpreted otherwise. 5. On what ground has
polygamy become forbidden among Christians? I am not aware that it is
directly forbidden by Scripture.
