YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and WOmeI
Who Have Shared II.
By MARY MARSHALL.

One hundred and forty-seven years
ago today Esther De Berdt became the
wife of Joseph Reed in London and
thereby was crowned with happiness
the patient waiting ana unflinching
faithfulness of two old-time lovers who
had not permitted their love to waver.
though five years elapsed between the
time they plighted their troth and the
time that they could he married. and
though during those years the great
Atlantic ocean rolled between them and
there were many. times when it seemed
as if a consummation of their dreams
would never be realized.
Yet these faithful lovers wrote let
ters to each other during this five
years of waiting that to our modern
taste would be looked upon as far
from ardent. Almost never does one
find the word love" used by the
young lady in describing her feeling
for her wooer. She speaks more often
of her attachment" FOR MIN. her
friendship" and her devotion" and
there is an absence of all the usual
lovers terms of endearment.
Once when a letter did not arrive
from the colonies when she expected
it would, Esther wrote thus: "I have
waited. my dear Sir, till almost. the
last day of the ships staying in hopes
OF receiving letter from you before

MED" And she tells him she misses
him because she finds she needs his
advice and instruction"
Esther de Bredt, the daughter of a
well-to-dO Londoner, met Joseph Reed,
a native of the American colonies who
was finishing his law studies in Lon
don. when she was 16 and he was %.
After two years of friendship they
plighted their troth. They had already
declared their love and waited only
that long to become actually engaged
because Esther's father objected seri-
ously to having his daughter agree to
go to the Colonies and Joseph Reed
was quite bent on returning to mis-
Colonial home. However, in 1865. just
before Reed did return to the new
world, an engagemnt was permitted
and then began the five years patient
waiting. Finally Reed, at the age OF
a. returned to his .22-year-old bride,
who was more charming and winsome
than when he had first met her. The
marriage took place in a church in

The Woman went her struggling way,
and when at last a deal of illness in
the little family intensified her troubles
she sank into the depths of gloom and
bitter dissatisfaction, questioning over
and over what she might have done TO
deserve so grievous a lot.
Until there came day when a friend
invited her to see a play.
The Woman did not even know what
it was going to be, but she was glad
to go nevertheless.

is CHRISTIAN DUTY
TO fight, SAYS PASTOR
Believes Highest Patriotism Is that
Which Frees Other Nations.

THE unspeakable theory of a super
state, that one state is better than the
other, is God-chosen and such nonsense
is reason that we, of the United States
OF America, are in the world war, and
that we may do our duty toward other
nations of the world who have felt the
iron heel of Prussianism." said the Rev.
G.. G. Johnson. pastor of Emmanuel Bap-
tist Church. Sixteenth street and Co
lumbia road northwest, in his sermon
on "Super-Nationalism," yesterday.
THE Monroe Doctrine can no longer
excuse us from doing our Christian duty
toward other nations. National policies
shaped a hundred years ago do not nee
essarily ht in today's procedure. Our
love Of freedom and democracy should
prompt us to help others whether on this
side of the world or not
I'VE must not allow a selfish inter-
probation OF that doctrine to prevent us
from living up to our ideals of Justice,
right and God-given privilege of other
small nations to live their lives as they
see fit.
To-day we cannot pray as good Chris
tians without including the whole world
IN our prayers. Every true Christian Is
a patriot. Patriotism consists not only
In keeping our own nation freed from
the oppressor. but in aiding others.
AS champions of world democracy, we
must not and cannot shun our duty. We
must draw no lines either with God or
our principles. We should not preach
democracy and liberty and then seek
to apply those things only to ourselves
1t is un-Christian-like. un-God-IiRe and
must not be. Our privilege of being a
free nation, unhampered in our ideas Of
political and religious liberty. we must
share with others. 1t Is our Christian
duty to help an oppressed nation, wheth-
er it occupies place In the Western
Hemisphere or not"
