Rev. DIR. James Boyd Brady delivered
an address on the subject AN Old Love
Story Shilling the Tempest of Wild
Young Heart" He read the love story of
Isaac and Rebecca from the Path chapter
Of Genesis, and drew lessons therefrom on
the subject Of marriage. He advocated
the marriage of persons Of the same re-
ligion, and said that bad man who
meant to continue being bad should not
make some good Christian girl miserable
by marrying her. but should marry one
like himself. He said, referring to the
gifts sent by Isaac to Rebecca and her
family, that it was the custom of good
people to do in like manner, even II the
gifts were not money, but those Of sym
pathy, kindness etc
"Rebecca," said he, knew a good prop
osltion, and was not coy and bashful.
The reason why there are so many old
maids is that they don't know the right
man when he comes along. They don't
know their own minds and the oppor-
tunity passes. When man comes along
who does not smoke. chew drink or sin
unless he is nauseous to you take him
and love will grow" The Bible story was
then taken typically by the speaker who
said that Abraham represents the Father.
God; Isaac his son, Christ, and Eleazar.
the servant, represents the preacher.
while Rebecca typifies the church. The
preacher tries to draw souls to the church
as Eleazar acted as a gO-between for
Isaac and Rebecca.
