Wedding Sermons

ance 10 proach sermon on tho first Sun.
day after her marriage, complied, and
chose tho following passage IN the
pss,ims for his iext:-'And let thero be
abundance of peace--whilc the moon
endureth.
That will do for the honey moon. but
il Is not equal to the texts selected by
old parson Smiths daughters for their
wedding sermon. The Rev. Mr.. Smith
was the pastor Of the North Parish IN
Weymouth, Massachusetts,, many years
ago. lilo lad two daughters, Mary and
Martha. Two young lawyers took u
fancy TO them, and paid their respects
accordingly The name ofonc OF those
was John Adams, and the other was
Cranch. we think II was Richard Cranch,
ue courtod Mary, and Adams Martha.
Mr., Smith and his family favored the
suit OF Cr.nch, and treated him with
tho utmost respect when he called.
But they did not like Adams and treat
cd him with great coolnoss, not even
asking him to cat. Still, they allowed
Martha TO receive his addresses.
Mr.. Smith made il u point, when any
member OF his family got married, to
preach sermon ON tho occasion. and
allowed the married parties To select
the text. Mary WIS married TO Cranch,
and the old gentleman said-'come, Ma
~, give me text, and | will preach n
sermon on your wedding" She accord
ingly solicited this, and he preached from
IL with great pleasure; MARY hath
chosen that good part which shall not
DO taksn away from her.
The old gentleman thought that Mary
had indeed chosen a good part.
Thi ,gs went on IN regard TO John
Adams and Martha for some time, as
they had done before. Mr.. Smith fear.
ed Martha was throwing herself away
on man who would never amount IN
anything. Bnt they were finally mar
ried, and her father, according TO his
custom, said To her, Martha, give me u
toxt, and | will preach your wedding
sermon"
"Yes. father" said she, II have so.
lecied the follows: "John came moi
ther eating nor drinking, and yet say
ho hath devil"
How the sermon cane Oft we mover
learned. We think, however, the
preacher must have choked little.
Tho result OF all showed that Martha
had chosen quite rs good part as Ma
nv. For, while Cranch became Judge,
Adams became President OF the United
States, and Martha was. OF coarse, wife
Of ono President and mother of an.
other.
