Review: Mail Order Millie
Rating: 4 out of 5

Forced to leave an orphanage when she turned 18, Millie was given several envelopes with letters from men seeking mail order brides.  One was young and didn' t appear to be settled, another was 60.  The other was a man with four young kids.  She wrote to him and later went west to meet him.  The town women who took turns to take a meal out every day decided he needed a wife and had a bake sale to get the money to bring her out and push him to get married to have someone to take care of the kids.He wanted a Christian woman.  Millie lied about her age as she was afraid he would refuse  her without giving her a chance.  The first they saw one another was coming down the aisle with him in overalls straight from work and her  in her white w adding dress with borrowed veil.I enjoyed the story but my idea of Christianity is not the husband ruling the home as in being considerate of one another and wanting the best for the other.  She seemed more Christ-like in her actions even though she hadn't realized  she needed a personal relationship with the Lord.  It worked out in the end but too often it gets missed that a husband is to treat his wife with love and sacrifice for her as Christ sacrificed his life and the wife is to obey him in Christ.
