The bridal of the earth and sky
When the sun had set in autumnal
glory behind the Western hills, the
soft light of the harvest moon looked
in upon an ideal scene in the Baptist
church at Waterloo. Its doors had
opened wide for another of the beauti-
full weddings for which it is becoming
noted The recessed pulpit was Il mass
OF green and white, making n fitting
back ground for the bright scene in
front. while the tall arch above was
draped in soft folds of white muslin.
With here and there clusters Of dainty
frOndS OF forms over this we're hung
garlands Of golden honcy-suckle, ivy
and scarlet berries. Handsome stands
OF ChrysanthemumS were on either side.
From the centre of the arch hung the
traditional bridal bell of good luck"
1t was entirely white, glistening
brightly with diamond sprays, while
the SNOWFALL within swung airily, look
ing down upon the cushion of white
just beneath and ready to ring happy
wedding peals for the happy occasion.
In front of the pulpit stood the min
Path, cousin Of the bride.
