Church Ceremony

Madison, s. D., Feb. 90, 1914.-It
was on Wednesday, 18th of Feb, wher
the marriage of our daughter. Ella
Emile, took place. Our wishes all
have been fulfilled. The day was
favorable and 80 things went ON nicely
Fol- many days WI were preparing for
the coming wedding, for we took, rs
all parents should do, their day into
consideration and thought it was "A
day of Joy for u children and also
for us. All our guests who we're in
vited came In time with the exception
of five ministers who were too far away
to come. But still they did not forget
ms. In spirit they dwelt among us and
did not forget to send their hesrtiest
congratulations, and wedding presents.
AT 1870 z. m. we left our home for
the church. The way to the lovely
city of Madison is q most beautiful
one. We all know this century has
more inventions than any one in the
past time, and even if we did not
have an airship or IA balloon TO take
our children to the church, we did
have two autos. And if anyone
understands driving an auto, and took
pleasure on the trip to Madison. it
was Mr.. Fred Hanuemann. 1t was n
pleaure for him to have the most
happy bridal couple in his car en- such
a day of pleasure and happiness. He
could not help but shout once in
awhile in his low German language.
"Hochtit" (marriage or %wedding).
In a few minutes we were in the
church and a multitude of people were
waiting for Us. After entering the
church the bridal couple and maids
and men of honor, also our son,
Ewald, with a basket of flowers in
bis hand. took places in front OF the
altar, chairs having been reserved for
them. Rev. f W. Spieler of Canovs,
who is a man of know ledge and a we'll
known speaker. performed the matri
monial service. He opened the service
in the name of God, and after the cere-
mony the congregation sang the hymn,
"Befiell du diene Wsge." Everyone
in the church who was able to lift up
his heart to the Lord, and has the gift
of God to sing, helped to glorify the
day of honor of our children Hav-
ing sung four verses, Rev. Spieler
read the Pisa. 3 10, and on these
words be delivered the most instruc.
tive grafton that ever was heard in
the church of Madison OH an occasion
like this. Everybody took great in
terest ia it, for il was an example for
many a one who has forgotten that he
has to thank God for all the property
he possesses. He also said: "We shall
trust in God always which means not
only now but in the future. We have
10 thank God for our life, and He ha'
given us this day of joy
| think every father who ever haC
the pleasure Of seeing his daughter
kneeling down at the altar to b.
united in marriage with the man sh'
truly loves, can imagine how on
hearts were filled with pleasure ant
JOY.
After the service was over the min
lister congratulated the couple first. 70
he is an intimate friend of Dull chill
dren.
The bridal couple went to MI. Flo
for the purpose of having their photo
taken. and it was a great surprise to hin
seeing our daughter as q bride. Fl
was very affable as a man of educa
tion can be.
We returned home in two autos
Mr.. ThuIow had the men of honor an,
Mr.. Hannemann the bride and groom
and maids of honor. Mr.. Hannemai
not being acquainted with the way 20
ing west, he had = hard time drivin
through the snow. When they turne
north in the direction CT our home MI
Thurow was about a mile ahead. No,
was the time Mr.. Hannemann coul
have the chance to let his car 60 as b
would have liked to have done before
It took only q few minutes and M,
