THE WEDDING RING.
Not Fetter, Relic of Barbarism, but
Symbol Of Eternity.

FROM the Chicago Chronicle.
Fame some university professors fail 70
acquire by learning they are liable to strain
after by sensationalism.
A class in anthropology was informed the
other day by a professor attached to the
staff of a university that the wedding ring
is a relic of barbarism. He alleged that it
represents the nose ring, the fetter on the
ankle or the wrist. by which in past ages
the sold slave was led away from the mart
by his new master
The proverbial little learning was never
more erroneous. 1t is true that every chain
is composed of links which are frequently
circular. but it is also true that the circle
possesses ancient symbolism both sub
lime and beautiful. The armament itself
bent circularly over mankind. suggesting to
their minds infinity and eternity, Every
star in the heavens was outlined in ring
from the time the stars sang together.
AS early as the age of Ptolemy there was
belief in the sphericity of the earth itself.
Copernicus held that the universe is spheri-
cal, basing his theory upon the accumu-
lated deductions of numerous predecessors.
The ancient Romans found by experience
that the circular arch is the architecture
form which is the most enduring and sup
ports the greatest proportional weight.
The circle repeats itself infinitely through
out nature, sparkling on the tiniest drop
of dew and Respondent wherever the heay-
ems visibiy arch the earth. The hor' zoH il
nature. in art. is the horizontal base Of
an aerial arch encircl;ng the VISTA.
Christianity adopted the ring as symbol
of eternity. 1t was first placed by Christi
anity upon the cross, thus blend ng the
foundation of the Christian Church with
prophecy of its endurance to the end Of
time. The cross'itself was older than Chris
tianity and the circle placed upon its arms
was intended both to crown it with halo
and to suggest the eternity of the sacrifice
it typifies.
In the marriage ceremony The early Chris
t:ans introduced the ring IN a manifold
symbolic role. 1t represents not merely an
earthly indissolublity of the marriage tie,
but also an eternity Of love between those
united according to the Christian rite.
Prof. Starr should read more broadly on
symbolism before he lectures on the signfi-
ca nee of the Medd nE Eng.

Smoking Services in English Churches


Doubtless the permission given tn the
workingmen to smoke during the sermon
preached by ArchdeacoD Wherefore in the
cloisters of Westminster Abbey induces
contemplation. Time was when smoking
was fairly general within our churches,
and it extended over considerable period.
Early in the seventeenth century IL evil
IDENTIFY existed. for on the visit of James L
to Cambridge in 1913 the vice chancellor,
knowing the kings objection to the stink

do presume to take tabacco In St. Marie's
Church in Trinity Colledge Hall during
the abode of his Majesty here upon payne

smoke during the intervals of service.
Another well-known instance is that OF
DR.. Parr Of Hatton. who smoked before his
sermon. while the congregation was sing

The distinguished Baptist minister the
Rev Robert Hall. was said to indulge in
profuse smoking during the intervals Of
public worship and preaching. Readers of
Scott will remember the instance Of Dun
can of Enockdunder In the Heart Of Mid
lothian" After prayers he produced his
pipe but found he had forgotten the to-
bacco. but willing hands around him sup
piled tobacco pouches. and after the choice
