wheat, cotton. corn, rice and to-

attempts to assure the farmer

Churches, said to me from his
rich experience. 1.-THE person
who enters marriage is rightly
seeking happiness. a thing that
is most found when most given.
God joins a man and woman
together only with their loyal
cooperation. A divine blessing
is freely offered, yet its out
working depends also upon
human cooperation.
when a person marries, he
is taking upon himself respon-
sibility to his family, past,

society and to God"
The bulk Of the evidence
found suggests that the dis
charge Of this responsibility and
married happiness go hand in

For one, marriage doesn't
