AN APPRECIATION
TO the Editor of Courant:-

~ An ~&AS0 VI
May we use your columns to con-
vey to friends our heartfelt gratitude
and appreciation for the Gaelic Bible
which had not arrived at the time of
the Caledonian gathering held in our
honor at the Meadow Lawn farm ear
ly last fall. The Bible has arrived
and has been presented by the Com
mittee Miss Flora Cameron Burr, Mrs.
A. S. Nero and Mr.. Jno. Mckenzie.
We know Of no other gift that could
have brought the joy and deep salts
faction that this n has DONE. Re-
minding is of our early days when we
first commenced the Christian jour-
ney, and learned to love the Bible.
We will assure our friends as we pur-
use, together, the pages of this Blessed
Book, that hearts shall glow with
love to each and every one. AS we look
back to that Caledonian gathering, we
realize more and more that it was
one of the Red Letter days in oul
lives. Therefore we take this oppor
tunity to. thank all the friends, ant
especially the committee, who made
this meeting and this gift possible.
Yours affectionately,
John A. Cameron,
Mrs. John A. Cameron.

. 7 ONION, Eng April 5O.-Although
Il today for the first time a bride.
the former Miss Elizabeth Asquith-
now Princess Antoine Bi5esoo-can
justly claim TO be the most married
woman in England It took three
ceremonies today 10 make her the
wife Of prince Bibesco Of Rumania-
Another Interesting feature Of the
wedding was the fact that this is
the second marriage Of royalty and
.commoner which has taken place this
year; the other one being the mar
rage Of Princess Pat" to commander
Alexander Ramsay.
The three ceremonies at the we'd
ding today Of Miss Asquith and prince
BibescO were necessary on account Of
the different nationalities and relig-
ions Of the contracting parties. The
first was at the Greek church. where
the young couple were united with all
the pomp and ceremony Of the grOom's
religion. Following that. an adjourn
ment was taken 10 St Margaret's,
Westminster. where bishops OF the
Church Of England set their seal upon
the union Lastly. there came a trip
TO the Rumanian legation where the
civil ceremony, according to the laws
OF that country, was hurriedly gone
parently, decided that Miss Asquitn
was indeed married and no further
ceremonies were deemed necessary.
The principal ceremony was, Of
course, that at st. Margaret's. Brides
maids selected from sOciety's ranks
supported the bride. who also had two
Of her young kinswomen to act as
pages. She was given away by her
father, the former prime minister. The
church was packed with representa-
tives Of the bluest blood Of England
and q big crowd awaited the recep-
ton and departure OF the bride and
groom outside the building.
The wedding has been commented
upon as happy union OF two bright
minds Both are literary and artistic
and have much in common As Miss
AsQuith, the bride was recognized as
the pioneer OF a new social order. She
shattered all precedents when, as a
young and unmarried woman at the
outbreak Of the war she Joined vari-
BUS charitable committees and took
hold in such a manner that her ad- I
ability was quickly rec I
0gnized and she was given control Of .
