REV. GEORGE Il. "a
REV. GEORGE n. WILSON.
(IIlinois Pastor Who Conducts School
for Those Who Contemplate
Marriage.)

This pastor believes in a simple
wedding. He says that hundreds Of
couples nowadays really want to get
rid Of the fuss and feathers of a we'd
ding event. They want to be mar
ried quietly and go to housekeeping
without allowing either fad or fash
q - to prescribe the way.
p frequently couples drive from
g.. ms to his parsonage to be married.
zen he asked a groom why he had
e. been married at home to save a
mile drive, he said he wanted to
get away from the conventional we'd
ding, and in this his bride had agreed
fully with him At their home town
they had fitted up a home, and they
went back to it from the ceremony
and a short trip. Some of my friends
were married in that way" said the
happy man. They liked the plan
and so do we, and we determined to
commence married life in that kind
Of simple fashion"
Mr.. Wilson says that he believes
that the reason so many people go
to St Joseph to get married is to get
rid of a wedding and its consequent
conventionaIities at home.
"The young folks wanted to put
money in household equipment and
they resolved to steal a march on the
obiecting parents. The girl went out
to the pump TO set a pail of water.
Cba hung fha bucket on the numu
spout and then carelessly wandered
to my house There she met her aff-
anced. and 7 married them. The
groom paid me so cents. Then the
bride went back to the well, carried
the water into her old home, and told
her parents that she was a wife.
got some loud talk from the irate pa
ternaI parent for my part in the mat
ter. but it was al in French and did
not hurt me. The union was a happy
one"

SCHOOL FOR FIANCES
CONDUCTED BY REV. G. Il. Will
SON, or DE KAL5, ILL.
set of Pastor Is TO Impress Young
folks with Solemnity Of Mar
Simple Wedding
BECOMING Popular.

Chicago. - Rev George H. vii
son, pastor of the Congregational
church al De Ka.b, conducts
unique school for young people
whom he expects to marry. The
object of this is to impress them
with the nature and tie solemnity OF
the vows they take on themselves
when they become man and wife.
When o prospective groom ap-
proaches the minister and engages
him to perform the ceremony, the
pastor gives him printed sheet on
which is printed the form of marriage
ceremony that he will use. He asks
the man to read over the words, to
show the sheet to his prospective
bride she may know what she is eX-
pected to promise when she appears
before the man who is to join her and
her lover for all time.
This sheet contains a service with
or without the use of ring, but in
the event of the use of either the
binding words are given out four or
five weeks before the wedding, but if
there is but a single day intervening
between the engagement of the parson
and the wedding both Of the contract
ing parties are given the service and
allowed to look it over.
After the wedding is over the bride
Is given a certificate and with it is
given another of the printed sheets.
TT is a good thing" said the Rev
Wilson, for a husband and wife
look at this little sheet of paper
in a while 1t freshens the mind,
they think over again the words
the meaning of the brief Cere-
ny that started them in the welded
path. If married people would only
think more and more of what they are
about to promise. and then what they
have promised. | think there would
be a great deal more of welded bliss.

Pyatt, the gift being his entire prop
erty, consisting of 500 acres Of land,
valued at $175 an acre. Mrs. Pyatt
viii have a hard time retaining the
gift, however. as G0gham's son Henry,
who lives in Champaign has filed a
suit in the circuit court, charging Mrs.
Pyatt with obtaining The property by
undue influence. IL is only two months
ago that the woman invited her aged
uncle to come from Champaign. where
he had been living with his son, to
establish a home i'm the village of
Homer, where she could care for him,
He readily consented. as did the son,
who, however. demanded a contract
from her in regard to compensation,
This was agreed TO. but for some rea'
son was never written out Rev. o.
X Doney. a Christian minister, walked
into the Citizens bank at Homer and
told the cashier, Perle Virgins, who
attended to the business affairs OF
Josiah GOrham, that 1Ir GOrham had
made over his farm to Mrs. Pyatt
who would devote a part of it to for
eign missionary work in the Christian
church. Wiggius communicated with
the son, Henry GOTham, and the latter
at once instituted suit. He will allege
that the old man is incapable Of at
tending to his own affairs, and that
he did not know what he was doing.
