Womsp, join not your right hand with
such right hand. Accept from such an
one no jewel for finger or ear, lest that
sparkle of precious stone turn out to be
the eye of basilisk aad let not the ling
come on the finger of your right hand lest
that ring turn out to be one linz CT a
chain that shall bind you In never ending
captivity. In the name OF God and hesv-
en- and home, In the name Of all time and

not to join one Of the many regimen OF
women who have
MARRIED FOR WORLDLY SUCCESS

you are ambitious, o, woman, for noble
affiancing, why not marry a king? Ard
to that honor you are invited by the Men
arch of Heaven and Earth, and this day
vo &c from the skies sounds forth: GAS
the bridegroom reJoiceth over the bride
so shall thy God rejoice over thee" Let
Him put upon thee the ring Of this royal
marriage. Here is an honor worth reach
ing after. By repentance and faith you
may come into marriage with the En-
peror OF Universal Dominion aud you
may be an Empress unto God forever and
reign with Him in palaces tha. the CEN
