WOULD MAKE CEREMONY FIT The OCCASION

II have been accused OF making
light of the nuptlal ceremony. because
refuse to follow this fashion, TO
me marriage is too sacred an In.
stitution to permit any allotted prom
ice. The proof that ! am right lies
In the success OF the marriages that
/ have performed--in the happiness
Of the couples have oficiated at q
great many ceremonies. especially
when had my own church In the
West, and have never known Of
divorce among the parties.
Il have always believed In making
the ceremony fit the occasion. In
other words, I have q different serv-
ice for each marriage, The orlnci'
pals consult me beforehand and We
prepare the vows. 1t Is for this rea-
son that the pledge is always difter-
ent, according to the views and con-
victions OF the couples.
TN this way they are impressed
with the service and realize the sanct-
ity, beauty and significance OF the
marriage contract. To them 1t means
something more than mere tumble
OF words. It is their own pledge and
not likely to be repeated at every 9TH
er wedding. f5Na5t :'' 4
Long ceremonies are boresome.
Therefore try to make mine as short
as possible. r. e
''As for the word obey. I only had
one girl who wanted to make such
crazy promise. In fact, she Insisted
on it. There was only one thing for
me to do; refused to- marry her.
She had to take the bridegroom to
another minister. - t't ~ ~...a
u NO woman kobeys her husband. No
man with common sense asks his wife
to obey him. In fact, it'is a greater
disgrace to expect than to give SUCH
a thing. No man would respect an
other man for demanding It,"

But, According to Sailors Whose Yer.

The British freighter Strathspey ar.
rived at New York the other night
from a $50 days voyage from Glasgow
to the Far East via the Cape OF Good
Hope. and then through the Suez canal
to New York on which the chief en-.

OF the season was sighted off the
coast Of Borneo.

in English, was cited by the crew as
q witness to- everything that hap
pened on the voyage. Out OF the
strathspey's complement Of 3S officers
and men, Capt s. H. Jones said, only
eight were whites, the remainder be-
ing Chinese, Arabs and Lascars.
On Port Natal, when Wing kes
Chinese stoker, who was standing on
the combing of No. / hatch, fell back

parrot saw him 90, and sung out

hole SO much that they told the cap
tain they could not work because
Wing KEGS ghost was down there.
This continued for three days while
the steamer practically just drifted
around the Indian ocean.
OF Whampoa in the Canto river one
of the Chinese coolies working the
cargo was knocked on the head by a
heavy chain and instantly killed. As
he fell off the side of the ship Toxic,
the parrot, saw hi. 60 and shrieked

OF The wild coast of Borneo one
Sunday morning Mohammed Singh,
an Arab sailor, fell overheard
from one Of the boats he was clean
ing. The parrot was on deck with his
weather eye cooked, and his continu-
Gus calls OF eight bells" attracted the
attention of the officers on the bridge,
who stopped the ship and had boat
lowered to rescue the sailor.
Singh, powerful swimmer, was
nearing the lifeboat when commo-
ton arose in his wake, and the crew
of the boat saw great green sea
serpent raise its head several feet
above the waves, as If about to seize
the Arab sailor In its capacious nav.
Singh heard the noise and felt the
hot blast from the monsters lungs
DIN the back OF his bronze neck. He
turned half around, and then, with a
cry Of Allah Kerim," he made tre-
mendous effort to reach the boat be-
fore the sea serpent could seize him.
The Arab sailors in the boat bent
their backs double on the oars and
gave5=a mighty pull which enabled
Singh to be hauled inboard breathless
just as the serpent opened it's mouth
to grab him. Finding he was out OF
reach, the monster bit the rudder OIL
the boat in its rage. Toxic, looking down
from the rail. piped Eight bells" again
as Chowder Loll, who was steering at
the time, fell in faint from fright.
The boat was steered back alongside
the steamer with one of the oars over
the stern. The sea serpent evidently
had been scared of by the parrot, for
he was seen in the distance steering
due east at the rate of so knots an
