q A contract of eternal bond Of love,
Confirmed by mutual joinder OF your b nnds,
Attested by the holy close of lips,
Strengthened by interchangement OF your rings"
We were reminded of the above lines
from Shakespeare during the wedding
ceremony at st. Andrews Protestant
Episcopal Church, in this city, on Mon
day afternoon last, when Franklin b.
Foster, son of Henry L. Foster, of Oil
City, Pa, and Victoria, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. W lillian McCready, Of this city,
were Joined together in holy wedlock, by
tho Rector, Rev. Elvin X. Smith. A
more beautiful, yet solemn, ceremony has
rarely been witnessed In our city. As the
organ, under the management Of Mr. Chas.
W. Pettee, of Trenton, pealed forth
march, the best men-Mr. Edward Foster,
brother of the groom, and Mr.. William
Frick entered the eastern aisle and pro-
ceeded to the right of the chancel. They
were followed by the bridesmaids-Mis
Ollie Soliday and Miss Hannie Carver
who took positions at the left of the
chancel. The bride then followed, lean
ing on the arm of her father. She was
joined by the groom, who entered from
the Vestry room, and together they ad-
vanced In front of tho Rector, when the
marriage ceremony was performed, the
organist playing low music during the
entire service. 1t was scene long to be
remembered, and many tear dmmed faces
attested to its solemnity. Yet there was
much to make 1t y joyful occasion. The
beautiful floral decorations of Easter were
permitted to remain in the Church the
bright and varied banners of the Sunday
School classes we're arranged In prominent
places on the walls tho various costumes
OF the bridal party and the friends present

all combined to fill with reverence and
delight At the conclusion of the service
