Love and Christianity is the foun-

spect and willingness to discuss
pending matters Is the chief corner
stone of a successful marriage. l am
delighted to say that the three years
I have been married have been the
happicst and most successful years
OF my entire life. My wife Is
very forgivinR woman and devout
Christian and I believe these ele-
ments are the ste piping stones to
happy and successful marriage. Let
God be your leader in everything
you do.
The greatest bliss that falls from
Heaven blesses the man who brings
genuine worth equal at the mar
riage altar. Tho highest conceptions
Of life recognize marriage "a tho

In It's capacity as vital stimu-
