expressed by the other relatives of the
piquant little bride The wedding was
celebrated very quietly at the house in
Franklin street, and not in the cathe-
dral as the bride is an Episcopalian
and the bridegroom is a stanch Cath

Rev. Father Prendergast. The bride
was given away by her mother and the
maid of honor was an aunt, Mrs. Flora
Sarah Sedgwicz, while John NJ Sullivan
acted as best man. The aunt of the
bride. Mrs. William Dargie, was sur
prised beyond measure when the news
was told to her, and she telegraphed
the news Immediately to her husband,
who has been a devoted friend of the
r. T. Dargie. W. E Dargie is in

holds a conspicuous place in the enter

is sure to be a feted person, and if she
adds to her inevitable prominence a
grace or personal charm her friends are
more than eager to make the days pre-
ceding her wedding memorable in a
social way. Again, bride to be is a
temptation to entertain in these early
summer affairs that are apt to be
pleasantly informal. The bride elect
and her friends may assemble at the
least possible notice for an hour at

his wife and child a year ago a dog,
for which he pair a dollar. 1t was
obviously nothing wonderful in the
canine way-merely a mongrel, with
the bulldog strain predominant. The
owner was a man in humble circum-

dwelling was the principal asset aside
from few sticks of furniture The
other night Tom was tied to leg of
the kitchen sink, as usual, and the
family went to bed. They were awak-
ened by the dog at midnight scratch

master came out to see what was the

chewed rope hanging from his collar,
whined and ran to the head of the

Jesus had overcome that temptation
They had mastered their prejudices
and reluctance sufficiently to stay be-
side Him at all costs, instead of let
ting themselves be carried off by a
thirst for praise or fear of intimida-
ton.
That is why faithfulness often
covers many defect of roughness or
dizziness In life. Jesus had lust over
heard the disciples quarreling like
children over question of precedence.
But under all these defects Jesus saw
with the insight of generosity, that
they retained the redeeming feature of
loyalty, and He praised them for it.
Whatever else you have done or left
undone, you have done one thing Of
which | am proud; you have lasted"
Praise of this kind cannot have failed
to make the disciples feel a trife
ashamed as they recoslected how in
adequately they had supported their
leader, and how their loyalty had Of
ten covered secret misgivings and
unworthy Tears.
But, while the sincere heart almost
shrinks from being praised, such words
OF Jesus serve to correct a mistaken
estimate of the Christian vocation.
They assure us that what God ex-
poets from us pre-eminently is fdel-
ity. He prizes those who can be re-
lied upon. We begin by putting pre-
MUM upon dazzling enterprises and
striking deeds. But more and more,
as the years pass, we understand the
meaning of Christs emphasis upon
the power to last, and the satisfac-
ton of being able to meet His demand
for tenacity and steadfastness. DR..
Dale, in letter to his brother, once
wrote: ITO do some great thing is the
craving of early ambition; to do quiet
duty honestly and without serious falls
satisfies the heart when youth disap-
pears" And it satisfies God. 1t is a
great thing in His eyes-we might al
most say it is the great thing-to be
at your post, and to keep at your post,
through all the vicissitudes and mon
otony of the long day To get through
the discipline without breaking down
under the strain, or without breaking
away from His control-who shall say
that is little thing? He will not
