One Of the remedies suggested for both is
is that the bridegroom should be required to

the minister should also ask: "Who giveth
this man to be married TO this woman?" The
present giving away" 1t is argued, is "hu-

A Passage in Scripture.

AS a bird that wonderful from
her nest, so is a man that won.
dereth from his place.
The man that leaves his family
and knows nothing about them
is worse than a brute. Surely
he must at some time feel a re-
morse that stings him as he was
never stung before. The old
home must come before his Wis.,
ion with the ones who should
be near and dear to him, bathed
in sorrow waiting for his return.
1t cannot be that there is any
satisfaction in proving that
those who loved us are being
made the saddest of the sad by
our misconduct he deserves Sc
we're punishment for brining such
trouble, sadness and reproach
on the household.
1t is wickedness that will at
some time bring down the wrath
of God on the one who is guilty
of so doing.
If these lines should meet the |
eyes of some wonderer, will they |
please do one of two things, go
nome or write them letter. |
