The corner stone Of marraiage, it is pre-

temple, which will DO tho monument of

that courtship's VOWS and lover's pledges of
fidelity and faithfalness are being ratified in
the holy rite of matrimony. It is often
forgotten that hymcneal love is variously
defined by individuals; each has different
