dow. Interesting Ceremonies NJ the ays
agogne.
A very unusual event occurred In Dallas
on Sunday afternoon, one which much
astonshed even the inost inilmfts friends
OF both contracting PARTIES concerned, and
creating quite breeze in the Christisn Ind
the Jewish circles. IL was the marriage
of one Of our most esteemed young ladies,
NJ ISIS Gallo Stephenson, daughter of Cob q.
b. Stephenson, a Gentle, to Mr.. Sol.
Wolfe, Jew, according TO the rites of the
Judaistic faith and under its requirements.
The parties, it appears, had been engaged
for some time and thus consummsted their
troth, as related above. The wedding was
intended TO take place at o'clock Sunday
evening, but upon application made for his
services for the purpose at that hour, it was
ascertained that Rabbi Schulz was under
promise to go to Galveston at o'clock,
hence the necessity of immediate action.
Witnesses were speedily found, and Messrs.
Sigmund Loeb, Joseph Baruch and Lee
Cohn acted in such capacity, the for
mer being president OF the congre-
cation Emanu-Ei, and whose consent under
the rules was necessary. After the
ceremony the couple drove tothe st. George
hotel where they took apartments. La,er
in the evening they visited the brides par
ents, who were surprised at the event. Miss
Callie has been, as are her family, In affili-
alton with the Episcopal church, but re-
nunciation was q necessity to the union.
and this in due form she made. We were
not present on this occasion, and
were unable to procure a copy
OF this, or of the confession OF faith, but
give below the substance of the usual ques-'
ions on such occasions requiring afiirma-
tive response Sin the name of the living
God, who searches the deepest recesses OF
the heart" They are about as follows:
Being in whose glory no other shares? Do
you believe that He, the inscrutable
Spirit of all spirits, can never as
sumo the form of any being that is
in heaven or on earth? Do you believe that
He, the Father of all men, has created us
in His image, has endowed 1rr rational
spirit with freedom and immortality, and
has thus exalted man to be His son
DO you believe that man mas received
the Vocation tOHfwaffk. in the ways OF COO,
to make Him, the Most Hp+y rs mOu--
ell in all his thinking aud doing and thus
to sanctify his inner and outer -IIey DO you
believe that man, like all other beings, has
come pure and good from the naud OF God,
being born free from the STAN " sin, and
is naturally capable OF conquering sin COM
plGtely2 Do you believe that the intimate
communion between God and man is
brought about by no other mediation
than that of the imperishable spirit
dwelling within US, and is chiefly promoted
by strict obedience to the revealed word of
nH.
atonemeut and redemption, and that exclu-
sively through sincere repentance and az
tual return to the Most Holy? DO you De-
lieve that God has chosen Israel g be
His priest. and ordained him to Ttopa-
gate the doctrine of the Only One and OF
His holy will, among all the inhabitants of
the earth; that through the mediation OF
Israel the true knowledge and worship OF
God will one day become the common good
of mankind and that the time of such
brotherly union of all nations i'll God will
be the true kingdom of the Messiah Do
you believe that in consequences OF this ev-
cry member of the Israeitish community
is specially bound to honor and exalt God
by faithful observance of the Divine
Word, by pure life in light, truth and
virtue, and thus to contribute with all His
power to the bringing about OF that prom
ised time? Is it your solemn and firm de-
termination to adhere from now to this
faith with all your heart, with all your soul,
and with all your might, and as a true Is
raelite, not to deviate from its precepts,
either toward the right or toward the left,
and to seal it even on the Threshold OF
death with the Israe'itish declaration2
The newly married couple have our best
wishes for a happy, prosperous sail over
lifes sea; their past merits this; each toward
the other ever feeling;
II do not love thee less for what is done.
And cannot be undone. Thy very confidence
Hath brought thee nearer to me, and henceforth
My love VIII have sense of strength in it,
| Making 1t daily stronger than before"
