The young couple at the conclusion of
the ceremony, Immediately went to their
new home and the following address
delivered by DIR. King. in his happiest
style, was listened to with marked atten-
ton:
Mr.. and Mrs. ELKINs:
The pleasant task OF welcoming yop to
your new home has been assigned to me- 1t
is pleasant task, because the fact of your
having a home to receive you on the first
evening OF your marriage is an suspicious
beginning for you in your new relation.
There are so many who never have home
who scarcely know and never fully rea-
lize what the word home means. This is
especially true in the old countries. There
the homes belong to privileged few, and
others must be renters all their lives long.
Thousands and thousands of young people
marry in those countries and tug and toll
and slave all their lives, and never own
home.
How the hearts, that struggle and yearn
so long for home, ache when they zee
all the hopes of their toiling lives blasted
at last. But it is different here. This is
country in which it is possible for almost
all who try, may have a home of their
own-and, indeed, most all do. And in
this fact, sincerely believe, lies the secret
OF the patriotism Of eur people. Men and
women naturally love a country in which
they have pleasant homes, and which is Sc
cured to them the blessings of ''life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness" And it is
best that we should all have homes. In
our hOmes-our own homes-is the nur-
sery of patriotism, OF religion and all that
goes to make men and women What they
should be in this life. and prepares them
for what they should be in the life to come.
There is nothing that, as an educator and
civilizer, can take the place of the home,
the family circle and the family altar
crowned with tie cold family bible" If
either of you should ever think of giving
up home. may you realize the force and
beauty OF the pOetical injunction
Stay at home my heart, and rest,
The bird is safest in its nest
Der all who hutter their wing and fly,
A hawk is lowering in the sky;
To stay at home is best
That this NAV be to you "home.
sweet home" indeed, and that your hearts
may always be united in the strong bond
OF love and that sweet peace may ever
dwell in your house, is the sincere prayer
of all your friends In conclusion let me
say welcome, welcome, thrice welcome
home.
The occasion was, throughout. very
pleasant, and the guests departed for their
homes, feeling that the evening had been
well spent The BAzoO mingles its con-
gratulations with those of others, and
wishes Mr.. and Mrs. Elkins long and
jovous future
