him 70 nlace II half way on the third
finger OF the left hand OF the bride,
and holding it there, to repeal audibly
the following formula; with this
ring, a token and pledge OF the vow and
covenant now made betwix me and
thee. thee wed, in tho name OF the
Father and of the Son and OF
the Holy Ghost" 1t is a curious
fact that though this formula is
usually broken up into eight frag-
ments for the sake of easy repetition,
it is rarely repeated with perfect accu-
racy. The great stumbling block is the
phrase, "N0w made betwixt me and
thee" Though the words are put i'm
mediately into the mouth OF the BRIDE
groom, it is usually rendered betwixt
thee and me-" Tae bridegroom Is then
asked to place the ring fully on the nm
ger, and this is not always easily accom-
plished. Sometimes it is done with
such facility and neatness as to indicate
that there must have been some previ-
Gus practice of the art. But sometimes
the ring is very obstinate and difficult
of manipulation, and the Hurried pair
get into an excited pucker in their des-
perate efforts to push the refractory
symbol over the second joint.
