''Before prOnOuncing the solemn
words which will bind you forever
together it may he well to forget
for a moment the things that are
around us and to look upward
We are the children of God and We
have a right to call upon him in
iOy and sorrow. We need his belI
in both extremes and never more
than now, for although the promises
you are about to make are easily
made and the work of moment
their fulfillment is the work of a
lifetime. We call upon God to
witness and bless this union OF
which he is the author and which
he mas adesacred. NOmatter how
generous and devoted You may be tt
each other, there are in every life
trials in which we in our weakness
need the help that comes from above
and this help will be given in Its
fulness in return for faithful fulfil
ment of our obligation. The high
er your position in life the more in.
cumbent upon you is the faithful
fulfillment of your obligation and
the more rigorous heaccOunts that
will he exacted. The neglect OF
these obligations will cast its shad-
ow upon eternity. But this hour
we hope marks the beginning OF a
career which will make you wiser,
better and more useful to your fel-
low 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 it, may that last hour find
the two hands as fOndly clasped
and the two hearts as closely join
ed as they are to-day, and may the
joys of this life be fOrecaste of the
, Joys that are to cOme.'.
The ceremony was performed
with the ring, according to the nup-
I;tial rites of the Roman Catholic
church. Including the address of
Father Mackin, it consumed less
