service in the Auditorium last Sunday,
when Margaret Hail, the infant daugh

baptized by one grandfather, the other
grandfather. and an uncle assisting,
and both grandmothers and an aunt
being present, the entire group being
missionaries. Mark you, this was not
in long settled New England COM

the heart of Japan. The grandfather
who officiated was Cumberland Pres

1t must now suffice to say that liv-

vital question, which has had no
parallel in missionary history, and is
bound itself to become a precedent for
other nations, has made serious mind-

ceremony FOR
YOUNG ELOPERS

Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Henry Morton, the
youthful high school couple who eloped
and were married in Pawtucket on Nov.
10 last, after brief courtship. had an
other marriage ceremony last night. For
over a month the first ceremony was kept
close secret, but on Dec. 26 the young
woman told her parents. 1t was two
months later before the friends OF the
couple knew of the affair, as the two
young persons lived at their respective
homes.
Rev George Mcclellan Fiske, rector of
st. Stephens church, performed the cere-
mony last evening at the home OF Mrs.
Morton's parents, 1876 Lloyd avenue. Only
immediate friends and relatives were
present.
On Nov. 1e. 1906 Arthur Henry Morton,
then 10 years old, and Marion Edna
Howe, II years old. went to Pawtucket
and were married by an Episcopal minis
ter. The young man claimed to live In
Boston and the girl said she had no par
ents, and also that she was of age. The
Pawtucket and Hope street high schools
played football for the championship that
day, and the couple were supposed to be
attending It. After the ceremony they
watched the game, then returned home

He is like an over-grown clumsy little

He Is miserably conscious that he Is a

The family do not try to make things

until he feels there Is no use trying to
be good anyway.

In not cultivating the affection and conf
