Since the Danish missionaries have
gained the confidence Of the natives OF
Greenland, marriages in the far north are
celel rated ~ the representatives, of tho
church.
In a recent issna Of one Of the Danish
papers one OF the missionaries gives the
following account Of the way oourtship
and marriage are brought about.
The man calls on the missionary and
says, | wish to take unto myself wife.
Whom asks the missionary.
The man gives, her name,
Have you spoken with her?
Asa rule the answer il in the negative,
aud the missionary asks the reason.
Because, comes the reply, it IL so diti'
cult You must speak TO her.
The missionary then calls the young
woman to him and says, think it Is time
you marry.
But she replies, do hot wish to get
married
That is a pity, adds the missionary, as !
have bus band for you
Who IL he? aek4tho maiden.
The missionary names the candidate TO
her love,
But he is not worth anything | will
not have him.
However, suggests the missionary he
is a good fellow aud attends well TO bis
house. He throws good barpoon, and
he loves you,
The Greenland beauty listens sttentIve'
ly, bet again declares she II not accept
the man as her husband.
Very well, goes on the missionary, DO
not wish to force you, ! shall easily ind
another wife for 40 good fellow.
The missionary then remains silent IN
though be looked upon the incident as
closed But 10 few minutes she Wbisi
pets. But il you wish it
No, answers the pa tor. only II you
wish it. / do not Wish to over persuade
you.
Another Sigh follows, aud the pastor eI'
presses regret hat she annot accept the
mau.
Pastor, she then breaks out | iear he Is
not worthy.
