Married for Eternity.
According to writer in the May
| American Magazine Mormons have three
kinds of marriages; first, for time, y
eternity" that is for this life and the
life hereafter. and the third for "eter-
nity," or the life hereafter.
| Then the author tells the following
story:
"A very curious case came up in the
law courts recently which arose from
| this custom OF sealing. There was q
lady described as of nondescript age
who had not entered into any of the
three matrimonial bonds. She was taken
very ill and was about to die, and fOl
her souls welfare they asked her if she
did not want to be sealed namely, mar
ried for eternity She was most anx-
ious to have the ceremony performed
They asked her whom she preferred, and
she named a man whom she had met in
travelling. They went to him. He was
slow to give consent, but on being as
sured of the lady's certain death agreed
TO save the woman's soul. They were
sealed at what was, presumably, heI
deathbed. Now. unfortunately, the WON
an recovered, but the man refused to
have the woman for his earthly wife
SAYING he had only married her fol-
eternity. The woman made no protest
She had learned her lesson, but in the
course of time she married a Gentle
without the sanction Of the church, by
only civil ceremony. After a few years
the man to whom she had been sealed
died. He died q rich man, whereupor
the woman claimed an interest in his
estate as his legal wife. Then arose q
great contention In the court. Was this
woman entitled only to the mans spirit
ual possessions, or did she also have q
right to his earthly goods? The discus
sion waxed long and hot, and the won
an swore away the legality of her chill
dren by her present husband, declaring
that the man TO whom she was sealed
was her one and only legal husband. The
court finally upheld her, and she came
into possession of a vast sum OF money
under the interest that a wife has il
her husbands realty, according 70 the
laws Of Utah"
