tificate CT marriage, the minister is required
to write his initials and the date of the mar
rage to cancel it. Clergymen will please take
notice of this important request. 1t would

few months, the young welded couple should
make the discovery that their marria.e was
illegal on account Of the clergyman's gnor
ance or neglect.

scatter rays of sunshine and happiness in
