WASHINGTON, June "A hush fell
| upon the assemblage as DIR. Sunder-
land stepped forward to his position
fronting the wedding couple, with Rev.
Mr.. Cleveland, the Presidents brother,
at his left hand. In distinct tone of
voice, and with deliberate utterance.
the Doctor began the simple and beau
tiful wedding service by brief prayer.
In addressing the company, DIR. Sun
derland said: Marriage is honorable
among all men, in that man shall
leave his father and mother aud shall
cleave unto his wife, and the twain
shall be of one flesh. It was constituted
by our Creator in the first Paradise. It
was confessed. by partiarchs and priests,
ana apostles. 1t was confirmed by
teaching and adorned with the pres
ence Of the Redeemer and has been
honored by the faithful keeping of all
good men and women since the world
began. It is not therefore, to be under
taken lightly or unadvisedly, but SOBER
ly, discreetly and in fear of God. 1t is
this holy estate, this man and this
woman come now to enter. If any now
can show just cause why they may not
be lawfully united in marriage, let him
now speak, or else hereafter forever
hold his speech.u
10 the bride and groom:-If you de-
sire to he united in marriage YOU will
signify the same by joining your right
hands. (The groom and bride joined
| hands.)
"Grover," said the minister, "do you
take this woman whom you hold by
the hand to be your lawful welded wife,
to live together after Gods ordinance
i'm the holy state of wedlock? Do you
promise to love her, cherish, comfort
and keep her in sickness and in health,
in joy and in sorrow, and forsaking all
Others keep you only unto her so long
as YOU both shall live?'
The groom (frmly)-"I do"
DIR. Sunderland-"F Frances, do you
take this man whom you hold by the
hand to be your lawful welded hus-
band, to live together after Gods ordi-
nance in the holy state of wedlock? Do
you promise to love him, honor and
comfort, help him in sickness and in
health, in joy and in sorrow, and forsak
ing all others, keep you unto him SO
long of you both shall live.n
The bride responded in a low but clear
voice: II do" ',
''In token--of the same let the we'd
ding ring be passed." 1.-THE groom
placed the ring on the BRIDES finger.1
DR.. Sunderland (solemnly)-"For as
much as Grover and Frances have here
agreed and covenanted to live together
after Gods ordinance in the holy estate
of wedlock. and have confirmed the
same by giving and taking a wedding
ring, now, therefore, in the presence of
this company, in the name of the Faith
er and of the Son and of the Holy
Ghost, l pronounce and declare they
are husband and wife, and what God
hath Joined together let 10 man put
asunder"
The Rev. Mr.. Cleveland then pro-
nounced the following benediction:
"God the Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Ghost, bless. preserve and keep
you. The Lord mercifully fill you with
all temporal and spiritual blessings and
grant you may so live together in this
world that in the world to come you
may have life everlasting"
