Southern General Assembly of the Pres

most part, against the hasty adoption of
q new book.
An overture was offered asking the as
sembly to inaugurate a twentieth century
movement, the plan being to raise at
least $1,o00, 900 for the permanent work of
the church.
An invitation was extended the assem-

pecially If no suitable alliance with
friends child is possible. The role Of
marriage broker is played by women
of the middle class.
The wedding festivities usually last
three days. On the day previous to
the marriage, the girls parents send
her dowry to the bridegroom. If she
is rich, it will consist of great vari-
ETY. of costly articles, including house
hold furniture, clothing and precious
jewelry. Early on the day OF the we'd
ding the parents of the bridegroom
send bridal chair to bring the bride
to their home. 1t Is usually a very
gorgeous sedan chair which has been
rented for the day. Musicians accom-
pany it and the match-makers follow,
bringing more presents. Arrived at
the home of the bride, there is usually
at this juncture a long pause in the
proceedings. The bride is in tears,
and makes a great show of reluctance
at the thought of leaving her home
and her parents. Frequently, six or
seven hours pass before she will con-
sent to let her maids adorn her in the
bridal robes and headdress sent her by
the bridegroom's parents. Slowly her
fnery is donned-the red dress with
Its glittering gilt ornaments, the long
red veil, the elaborate headdress with
it's strings of pearls hanging over her
face. With her hair no longer dressed
in childhood's fashion, but arranged in
the coiffure peculiar TO married
woman, she bids her family fearful
farewell. At last she gets into her
chair and is borne away from her old
home. Her brothers follow her in &C.
dan chairs to the house of the bride
groom. The bridegroom, In gorgeous
dress, comes out TO meet her. He
bows, he opens the door of her chair.
One of her maids comes up and car
ries her on her back into the house.
| There, the bridegroom lifts her veh
and sees for the first time the face of
| his bride.
No priest conducts the ceremony
which unites them. Together they
kneel before the altar of their IN
| known God and before the shrine of
| their ancestors, and burn incense and
| candles.

three weeks after death, but the body

particular about the good quality OF
the wood for their coffins, often hav-
ing them made for years before there
is any probability of their being need

tinguished high officials are IN the
habit of carrying their collins around
with them in their travels.

MARRIAGE IN CHINA.
All Matrimonial Alliances Arranged
by Female Brokers.
Wedding Festivities Are Elaborate
and Usually Last Three Days-High
Omcials Carry Their COINS
when Travelling.

WI Ting Fang, Chinese minister to
the United States, contributes an in
teresting article to Golfers Weekly
upon the social customs of his people.
Many of the rich Chinese, he says,
are philanthropic and earnestly de-
sire to relieve the suffering they see
about them. They give freely of their
wealth, but the poor are legion in
China, and the task Is not an easy one.
Private charity, however, which is al
ways more or less capricious, has pro-
vided most of the orphan asylums,
the free hospitals and the poorhouses
of the country.
Social entertainments in China never
revolve around dancing or athletic
contests, as they so frequently do in
this country. Our ideas about the i'm
propriety Of the two sexes mingling
socially would effectually prevent
dancing from becoming form of en-
tertainment. Athletic sports have not
found favor in our eyes, but games OF
chance have a strong hold on the pop
ular heart.
Among my children the choice of a
partner for life is always left to the
parents Of the bridal pair. They have
the interest and welfare of their chill
dren at heart and act with Judgment
and wisdom that only mature years
can bring. The engagement is usually
made when the young people are in
their early teens-in many cases
when they are much younger. Matri.
monial alliances between friendly
families are the most common.
