and will 30 Incorporated under the laws Of the
State. The meeting Is a result OF the recenh
reunion OF all the couples married by tho Rev.
W. l. Meesc. 1900 In number, and the avowed
purpose OF the organization is TO promote mar
riagc. Many OF those whom he has married In .
pastorate Of ff'y years were present.
The constitution and bylaws. as prepared By
Mr.. Mecse, were read and adopted unanimously
One OF the paragraphs reads:
1T shall not to lawful for members OF this
association to in any way discourage or prohibit
the marriage OF worthy persons, Should .
member OF this association be found guilty OF
such action. through pure spite or personal
feeling. such q member will be promptly eKs
pclled. The society holds that tho condition Of
true happiness Is to DO found In the welded
state, and declares this to be its one sole ohiech
OF organization"
1t Is proposed to continue the organisation
from generation to generation, aud all persons
are eligible whose marriage has been influenced
by the organization. nl.treatment OF husband
or wife Is n sufficient reason for expulsion. ana
all must advance the interests OF matrlInony.
During the meeting to-day Mr.. Meese asked
all OF those who had never spoken a harsh word
to their wives TO hold up a hand. Only one
hand went up. Investigation proved that the
mAn who thus declared himself was married b.
the preacher yesterday.
