STORIES or THE DAY.
suffer Little children to Come unto
Me

ne -
Amusing incidents occur In almost
every walk OF life. but when ANYTHING
unusual or surprising happens at q
wedding there are few guests who can
suppress the inclination to lauph
heartily. The Baltimore Sun says: AT a
recent Boston wedding, as the newly
married pair were marching Down the
aisle the organist played for recessional
the well-known hymn, Onward, Chris
tisn Soldier, Marching as to War.
OF course more smiles than the hap
piness OF the occasion would have caused
played on tae countenance Of the gues Is
as they fled out Of the ediice. This.
however, was not ha,f so amusing as
an incident that occurred at a Sussex
county wedding several years ago which
Is still talked about by the people Of the
nelghborhood whers the nuptials were
held
TIE contracting parties were both
country people, and they had invited a
large number OF neighbors to witness
tue ceremony, which was to be performed
Ia the parish church When the date
for the wedding arrived, however, the
church was being reprinted and Il was
announced that the knot would have t,
be tied In the Sunday school room.
Although large and well dressed as
ssmblage had gathered at the church
everybody consented to the change and
the children's quarters were soon com.
fortably filled There we're no brides
iualds or attendants and the bride and
groom marched no to the platform alone.
The man and woman both stood with
their faces toward the audience,
The ceremony went aloug nicely for
while, but a ripple Of laughter IA one
corner OF the room caused the clergyman
and the groom 10 become embarrassed
The stir did not subside, but became
more general, until, when the stammer
ing and excited minister had concluded
the ceremony the entire assemblage was
trying to subdue the laHgh that would
come.
The groom shook and the bride almost
tainted, but, just before stepping from
the platform, the groom chanced 60 .ook
around His gaze at once fell on.a huge
banner hanging over his head and con
tanning the following inscription Suffer
Little Children to Come Unto Me.
