Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1912-01-25

31th verse of the 31th Psalm we read
Mark the perfect man, and behold the
upright: for the end of man is peace. }"
Then in Mat 5, 48, BE ye therefore
perfect, even as your Father which is
in heaven is perfect" This last quota
ton is strong and places upon us the
Herculean task of thoroughly cleansing
our lives of everything Objectionable
to Cod
Oh, how these imperfections hold us
down.
With outstretched arms we cry unto
our God
And sink down in the darkness here to
die.
Our dream is still dream and we
must pass
And leave it thus. We hoped before
death came
To know it as sweet reality *
And weave it into our environment.
SO let it be. 1t is our Fathers will
And what He wills is good. We die in
peace.
A social event that demanded up-to.
date adjustment took place in the H. G..
Rice home, Saturday evening, January
20, 1912, when Harrison o. Stanley and
Miss Rozelle Rice were united in holy
wedlock by Rev Mr.. Mitchell, the Pres
byterian minister at Lone Star. The
ceremony took place at eight o'clock in
the presence of large gathering of
relatives and friends. Miss Carrie
Gault, of Extra, was at the piano and
at the psychological moment she softly
sang Il Love You Truly, during which
the happy principals in the event ar
ranged themselves at the holy altar.
The groom was at his best in conven-
tional black and the bride was the
picture of loneliness in her white null
gown as they passed stoically through
the ceremony remarkable for its sim
plicity. Immediately after the cere-
mony three course lap supper was
served. The groom, son of Mrs. W.
d. Stanley, is rugged young farmer
blessed with many excellent qualities.
The bride, a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
H. &. Rice, is model of refined
womanhood. They received many
presents to help them furnish and
beautify their first home which will be
on the place known as the McFadden
farm east of Audubon
They're setting sail beneath bright
skies
With Health and.Love among the crew
To guide their ship to some green isle
Where skies are always calm and blue.
