follows:
Before pronouncing the solemn words
which will bind you forever together, it
may be well to forget for a moment the |
things that are around us ana to look
upward. We are the children Of God ana
we have a right to call upon Him in JOY
and in sorrow. We need His help in both |
extremes and never more than now. for |
although the promises you are about to
moment, their fulfillment is the work of a |
lifetime.
we call upon God to witness and to |
bless this union of which He is the author |
and which He has made sacred. No mat |
ter how generous and devoted YOU may |
be to each other, there are in every life |
moments of trial when we in our weak |
ness need the help that comes from |
anI l,,l,,
fullness in return for the faithful fulfill.
ment of our obligation. The higher your
position in life, the more incumbent upon
you is the faithful fuliillment Of your
obligation and the more rigorous the ac.
count that will be exacted. The neglect
Of the obligations will east its shadow
upon eternity.
"But this hour, we hope, marks the be-
ginning of a career which will make you
wiser, better and more useful to your
fellow creatures in this life and the life
beyond it, and when death at last shall
break the link which binds you. as death
alone can break ii. may that last hour
find the two hands as fondly claspcd and
the two hearts as closely joined as they
are today. and may the joys of this life
be foretaste of the joys that are TO
come"
