Miss Bertha has the record of being
ship. The northern part of the county
was well represented. The house and
also the yards were filled with friends
and neighbors. the day being mild and
fair. For several years the young
couple had been seen at public gather
| iDgs and some of the wise ones had
predicted the coming event. So as
the various families arrived and were
exchangind friendly greetings, a sudden
hush fell over the concourse. When

and with few remarks the Rev Mitchell
called upon the people to witness the
response to the questions required by
the NJ E. church and State of Kansas,
after which he pronounced them man
and wife, and earnestly prayed God to
solominze, sanctify' and bless the
young couple; and he called upon them
| to remember that marriage is an
ordnance of God. sanctioned by man,
and all blessings are promised on con-
dition that we keep His steps; as this
voluntary act had severed their relation
from bright and happy homes. hence
forth they should go out in the world
side by side, hand in hand, and heart
