There was also a short poem of con-

written ~ A. +. Kennedy and read by
Mrs. z. B. Wheeler. II was as follows:
"Ernest and Dora: We, as friends and
relatives, congratulate you and wish you
much pleasure and happiness in the new
relation which you have now assumed
toward each other. As you go hand in
hand on the journey through life, may
flowers spring up and, nurtured and wa
tered by the dews OF affection, bloom con-
along the wayside.
And, like the ripping brook, go dane
ing on,
Making life happy with your joyous
song.
1t is, perhaps. the pleasantest and yet
the most responsible position in which
man and woman can join; and no event is
looked forward to with fonder anticipa
tons or greater expectations. There is
no act which can cause greater pleasure
ana happiness or may give more misery
and pain. God, with his infinite eye, saw
hat man could not live alone; and we
have come here tonight to witness, and
bear testimony to, the naturalness and
'ublimity OF this divine plan. You have
started out and, we hope and trust, have
chosen well, upon the sea Of life where so
many have been wrecked through disap-
pointments and incongruities. Do not ex-
oect that this sea will be ct all times as
smooth and placid as it seems to you to
be to- might; for there must be some
LIQUIDS, some shadows, that we may learn
% appreciate more fully the brightness of
he sunshine. Remember that from
darkness there may come light; that the
weetest flowers may lose their fragrance; ,
hat the fairsst rose may soonest die. Be
Slnd; be irne; and do not lose your faith
n one another, which is the only anchor :
which will keep you securely within the :
larbor of peace throughout each dark and
lismal storm. May your lives stand out
lpon the highest pinnacle of love as mon
lments TO Its harmony and purity.
The flush OF the rose, may it meier leave
your check
The telltale Of joys which words can not ,
speak. .
Hay. each voice be as soft as the COO of
dove
While you bask in the sunlight of mutual
love.
.et not the fire, with its warmth and its
glow,
IN the altar OF your affections ever burn
low.
Ieep the bright star of hope plainly in I
view,
a ~. he You're ..-stl l.
