The affair was very quiet, but beautiful
and pleasant one. Some lorLy odu lrlends of
the happy pair filled the spacious parlor,
when they were made one in very impress

solemn words were said pronouncing them

OF the cathedral gong making the coincidence

thence to Atlanta: where they Will Visit Mrs.
DR.. Virgil U. HardOn, sister OF the groom,
who lives on Peacntree street In Georglas

their home In this city, where they will live.
The bride was beautifully gowned In tao
colored suit, with hat 10 match, and held q
magnificent bouquet Of mareschal neil roses,
and looked charningly beautiful; while The
groom's manly form was CLAD In convention
al black. and never appeared to better ad-
vantage.
After the bridal party left, we were shown
The splendid array OF presents which loving
friends had bestowed and 1t was the most eX-
time. Besides IN elegant suite Of parlor fur

OF Dresden china, there were several sets OF

The Talking Book.

"When thou awakest, it shall talk
with thee" Prov. vi: 20. :.
We perceive here that the Word is
living. How else could it be said, ut
shall talk with thee?" A dead book
cannot talk, nor can a dumb book
speak. 1t is clearly a living book,
then, and speaking book, "the
Word of God, which Iiveth and abb
deth forever" How many of US have
found this to be most certainly true!
A large proportion of human books
are long ago dead, and even shrivell-
ed like Egyptian mummies; the mere
course of years has rendered them
worthless, their teaching is disprov-
ed, and they have no life for US.
Entomb them in your public libra
ries if you will, but henceforth, they
will stir no mans pulse and warm
no mans heart. But this thrice bless
ed book of God, though 1t has been
extant among us these many hun
dreds Of years, is immortal In It's lie,
unwithering in its strength the dew
of it's youth is still upon 1T; its speech
still drops as the rain fresh from heav.
en- its truths are everfowing founts OF
ever fresh consolation. Never book
spake like this book its voice. like the
voice of God, is powerful and full OF
majesty. It is responsive. when
thou awakest, it shall talk with thee" !"
not to thee. Now, talk with man is
not all on one side. To talk with q
man needs answering talk from him.
You have, both of you, something TO
say when you talk together. 1t is a
conversation to which each one con-
tributes bis part. Now, Scripture Is q
maryellously conversational book; 1t
talks. and makes men talk. 1t Is ever
ready to respond to us.-spurgeon.
