Parson Warns NeWIyweds

A DMONITIONS as to their future
IA conduct and a warning against
the seductions of the turkey trot"
and other such fancy doin's" were
interpolated freely into the marriage
ceremony with which Rev. John H.
Bunday, pastor Of an African Metho-
dist Episcopal church, united a negro
couple the other day in the private Of
fee of Judge Gorter.
Winfield Boyer, 20 years old, small
in stature and not a little frightened,
consented to wed Esther C. Newman,
IA years old Judge Gorter gave an
order for a marriage license, offered
the use Of his Office for the ceremony
and had an official of the court hunt
up a minister.
The preacher read the ceremony i'm
pressively, but turned aside now and
then to offer advice to the pair where
he thought it might have effect.
"Win you live with this woman as
your wife always?" he demanded of
the trembling bridegroom at the
proper part of the ritual. "Not for a
little time," he added. IT marry SO
many Of you niggers and tomorrow
you are single again. Now you are
hitched good; do you understand
| that?"
Speak it with your heart, not your
lips" he demanded, in putting the
question, "Wilt thou have this wom-
| an?"

carried to school in community wag

be advanced.
Before Washington became the pop
ulous and up-to-date city Of today Il
was not looked N in the same light
as other places ere, especially by
those who had never visited the ma
tons capital, and regarded it simply
as the seat Of government-tempo
residence for the nations states

Times have changed Washington
is now probably better known in out
side states for the advantages it Of
A.rs to those seeking an education
than it is at home.
Washington today is looked to as the
country's seat of learning, not merely
from an academic standpoint, but
from a broader vision. 1t is realized
that traditions, the beautiful examples
of art as shown by the best works OF
famous artists, sculptors, architects,
have an influence for good on those
that come here to study. to work.
