church in the hills of Nor
way is the hope. and the
only hope, Of this worlds
salvation.
1t was a lofty conception
Of marriage which was lifted
up before the world when, in
that village church. Vicar
Olav Gautestad stood at the
ancient altar to hear their
VOWS and to pronounce Ste
ven and Anne Marie man and
wife. His pastoral remarks,
so simple yet so profound.
seemed like a lovely rosary
whose beads could be count
ed by untold millions with
profitful remembrance. The
pastor that day displayed q
string Of Christian virtues
cleaning like lustrous pearls.
1t was a rosary that the
Christ Of God would gladly
bless. Shall we count its
beads as this faithful shep-
herd of souls so reverently
unfolded them? We quote
exactly his admonitions,
The first has to do with
that mightiest monosyllable.
God: II pray to God that
this day may be the begin
ming Of many days Of hap
piness and the blessing Of
the Most High"
The next bead is love
1.-THE real love which is
from God breaks down all
the conventional barriers. In
His eyes we are all equal"
The next is heritage
in our time, when the ma
jority Of youth seems to take
as their ideals those Of
doubtful moral qualities, the
press of the world is paying
tribute to an ordinary girl
who has taken pride in be-
ing industrious, reliable, and
faithful to her Christian
heritage"
The next bead is home
ITO build a good home is
perhaps the greatest Of all
arts. You who stand before
the altar today have the best
possibilities to build a good
home-for both Of you have
taken good building materi-
ais from the homes Of your
childhood-homes Of prayer
and Bible reading and God
fearing parents"
Then comes practice
"a home is not only q
question of foundation, 1t is
also perseverance Of spirit
the spirit Of love and good
ness. without that spirit
even a home beautiful and
rich may be barren because
of the evil spirit of egotism,
self-assertion and caviling."
The next pearl is example
"Set an example, let folks
see a Christian home in
which love and a willingness
to serve are something that
naturally belongs to every
day life"
And last comes belief-the
creed by which true believers
live.
Never forget that the
greatest happiness is to have
personal belief and trust in
Jesus Christ. In that faith
you are to help one another
to come to everlasting life"
What a string Of heavenly
pearls to handle as the days
go swiftly by-God, love,
heritage, home, practice. ex-
ample, belief All that the
preacher said that wedding
day as he held up this devo-
tional rosary is summed up
in one Of the great hymns Of
the church:
Happy the home ,Dhere God
is there
And lone fills every breast,
When one their tDish and one
their prayer
And one their heavenly rest.
Happy the home Dhere prayer
is heard
And praise is mont to rise,
Where parents love the sd-
cred tDord
And all its tUiSdom prize.
