WHEN BRIDE
DECIDES
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman
DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:

nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ Please let me know if 1t Is
proper for a bride to wear veil
at a morning church wedding.
The bridegroom is wearing a blue
serge business suit. The bride is
wearing a white satin dress.
MISS NJ.
No, my dear lady, the wedding
is not informal if the bride il
wearing a white satin dress and
bridal veil, for this is the attire,
the formal attire, that determines
that the bride wishes to have her
wedding regarded as a formal one.
In other words, what the bride
wears is the determining factor Of
a wedding. And if she wears for
NAL attire, the traditional white
wedding dress and veil, then all
the details should, to be consis-
tent, be formally planned and car
ried out. First Of all, the groom
must wear formal attire-to be
consistent with the bridal attire OF
his bride-and this means. for a
day wedding, a getaway coat and
dark striped trousers. Al! his at
PENDANTS must also wear formal
attire. And the professional and
occasional, no matter how small,
must be formally planned.
In other words, It IS correct for
a bride at a morning wedding 10
wear a white satin dress and
wedding veil, but, # she does
this, 1t is not correct for the groom
to wear a business suit.
If the groom cannot be persuAd-
ed to dress up 10 the formally
Of the brides attire. then the
bride must dress down 70 the IN
Formally Of the grooms attire.
II the groom must wear bust
ness suit the bride should wear
an Informal frock with a hat.
For It certainly looks thoroughly
ridiculous and inconsistent TO
see a bride walk up the aisle AL
dressed up" in the formal bridal
attire--to be met by her groom
in a business suitl

EditOr of The COngregatiOnalist

A philosopher once was asked his
opinion concerning the life Of a GER
tain man. He declined to appraise
that life because. as he said, II do
not know his end"
There is a deep sense in which the
whole course of life must be taken
intoAccount in judging a career, and
death is often the seal and climax
of noble activity.
The Scriptures express this fact in
various ways. We have it in our
golden text: Precious in the sight
of the Lord is the life of his saints"
ops. 1850 And we have that very
beautiful tribute to the good life.
1.-THE path of the just is as shin
ing light that shineth more and
more unto the perfect day." Prov
cribs 4:1S)
On the other hand there is. a sense
in Which no life is to be judged by
| it's ending alone. How often men
seem to outlive their usefulness or
some strange infirmity comes upon
them that ends a notable activity
and influence.
There are mysteries here that the
human mind cannot fathom. But
God will see our careers and per
sonalities in their right light.
Tragedy
All this Is very aptly related to
the story of the death Of Moses. In
a sense there is an element of trag-
edy and disappointment in the cir
cumstances attending his death. To
have led the children of Israel to
the promised land with such self
sacrificing courage and devotion
seems an achievement that ought
to have had its reward in the en-
trance into that land himself.
To our human judgment no tenn
porary lapse from all that was best
in Moses should have interfered with
that natural and beautiful climax to
his career. But the issue was to be
different. Moses had the privilege
of viewing the promised land, but
he was denied entrance into it.
Men in ancient times were given
to reading into the course of events
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-10-16

the will and action of the Almighty
in a way that perhaps was not al
ways warranted. Who can know the
thought and the mind of God?
The writer of the Book of Job
made a vigorous protest against the
religious philosophy ef his time that
presumed to see the hand of God eX-
pressing displeasure wherever men
were called. upon to suffer penalty
or pain. May we not view the death
of Moses even as we view his life
with the full realization that God
was with him in the end even as
God was with him in the beginning
and through the course Of his active
career?
The failure of Moses to enter the
promised land in which he had such
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1926-10-16

profound faith and toward which he
had led the people with such cour-
age is, however, in itself symbolic Of
what is constantly happening in life.
We are all engaged. if we are true
and faithful men, in enterprises
larger than ourselves the end and
fulfillment of which we shall never
see. It is not our reaching the goal.
but the faithfulness and courage
with which we perform our task in
progress, that counts.
Dying i'm Faith
Here is the soldier. fighting for a
great cause, wounded and dying in
battle. He does not know what will
be the issue of events. He does not
know even how that battle will turn
out in which he has received his
mortal wound. But he dies in faith
that the cause that he has served
comes largely through such faithful
and Jealous service given regardless
Of result and of reward.
Possibly If Moses had entered the
promised land there might not be in
his life such striking teaching for
lesser mortals who follow in his foot-
steps but who never come, like him.
to that climax which they seek and
for which they pray.
There is a certain glory that at
taches to the faith that enables a
man to die, fully confident that the
cause that he has served is larger
than himself. and fully prepared to
leave the future with Almighty God.
This is the glory that surrounds the
death Of Moses. and even in seeming
defeat there is something that match
es the most triumphant epochs in
his career
