Dear Everybody:-Once again I greet you aIl fmom India. t seems strange huw fascinating India be- comes. The more I learn of hem bis- tory and religion the more wonder- fuI she seems in nîy eyes. This week end Ihope to go out into the moun- tains for a thmee days' trip, eturing Monday morning. The scenery and' the love of nature are the most la- fluential motives of the expedition. 1 will have more to say of that next week. The main thing wbich presents it- self for tupic aow is the Indian wedding we went ta last Sunday night. This wvas a low cast wedding and weddings vamy in elegance is the casts are higher socially. They also increase in cost. This one cust about Rs. 700 wvicb is some $350.00. That from a pour %working man's pueket in this country is a tragedY. Weddings are curses in India. 1 mean that Iiteraîly. For the pour man who has daughtems to miarmy off it ;s especially bad. He has tu settîe ai dowry on hem co attmact a husband. ,Then be bas tu make the arrange- ments for the wedding which takesi place at bis bouse. To pay alI the debts of a wedding he bas to bormow moaey from the money lender ori State. The intemest charged on this1 may be anywhere from 20 per cent' up and in a few years he is in debt for life. Then the State bas the op- tion of taking bis poperty or bound- ing hlm for life. In view of the fact that ha seîdom bas any pmperty 0f any value the latter course is fol- lowed. Tan upees bumowed, la ten years becomaes ten thousand Rs. That is a thmusty computation of la- terest. The same thing happens at a funeral. They feast the dead and the living relatives. Now in India there is no sucb thing as love matches. The fathers of the bride and groom make ail the ar- rangements independeat of the wish- es or desires of the couple. They often neyer sea une anothar until they ara man and wife. These wed- dings are not all unhappy however. This is due to the position the woman holds in the hume and the unquest- ioned autbority of the man. The two dwell together in peace and con- teatment and are oftea xnust devoted to une another. The husbands are, ganerous and kind for the cnast part and the women are faitbful and de- voted. She appears with jeweîs. Tbey and hem children are hem treas- ures. She couks for and waits on hem husband whiîe ha eats and thon partakes hem food later. On the particular occasion of the wedding that we went to it was the daugbter of the cook of the bouse heme. They live on this compound and we asked if we migbt go. Tbey very kindly gave us welcomo and said that it would take place about 9 p. m. su at nine we sailed forth and tbey gave us seats on the stèps overlook- ing the court yard whereia the event was tu take place. Wo saw tbe bride. Ail day she was dessed in the must filthy ags that one can welI imagine. Sbe did aut smile and said, when we asked ber, that she was not happy. The dirty saunie was part of the ceremony and su wvas the sadness. If she had looked gay and bappy that wouîd have been very dis- respectfufl to ber mothar whom she was leaving. She wome those clothes tilI the groom appeared binging ber bridal clothes. The groom fumnishes them. Sha xvas ol dem than usual. She was 16. But the groom bad not appeared and she was a stanger to him. We waited tilI 10.30 P. m. and stilI nu groom but nu une seemed to wommy about that. la the mean- time the bridesmaids danced and sang. They were dressed la dirty white saumies. They danced and sang aound the shrine before wbicb the pair were to be united. Suddenly theme was the sound of music and the report of fire works and that was the signal of the ap- proach of the groom. It was very illuminating on the parable 0f the bidegmuum at midnight. For then the cmy weat forth "The bride- groom cometh". Ha came very sluwly. Ha wouhd go a few yards and then they would stop and there would be a display of fleworks and the B.Ms stood at the bead of the dancing. But at ast he arived and steps up xvicbho must be brougb' and sang thair welconîe tu hlm. The bride was not aoticed at ahIlanthese tbings. Tbey brought hlm lip and bis belongings and then they an. niated hlm witb sevara!l things. Wa tbought that sumely now tbE weddiag wouhd take place.

A Brahman started the works goingv by calling in a loud rough voice forU someone to bring a dish and lots of la water. This was done by the father1 of the bride. In this money, rice,i grass from, the shrine and water were 1 put. Then the couple placed their tues on the edge of the dish. The father then with the lose end of bis pugre-turban-washed their toes. Then other dishes were brought and the Brahman went thmough the same job touching the rag to his head eacb time. There were eight or nine dishes in ahl and they \vere each us- ed. Then a fire of sandie wood was kindled and lighted before the groom. Then coppers were called for and placed on little heaps of ice -seven heaps-wbicb were on a flat stone. Then the couple had to rise and pass around the shrine 7 times and each time the groom had to brusb one heap of rice from the stone witb bis foot. The seventh time he had to kick the stone away. Then tbey' were told to go and sit in the origin- al position. Then the bride was presented with a baby for a moment. After that they were anointed dur- ing which ceremony a red curtain was pîaced before tbem. 1 believe it î was to keep the demons from getting in on the deal. Then their bandsi were placed between their knees and five women filled the folded bandsi with rice and sacmed grass and theni touched with their both hands thel tues, knees, shoulders and forebeadi of the husband and wife and then each their own. AIl the while tbey were chanting. Then the Brahman took water and sprinkled the floori before tbem and be led them into their room. Then he turned to me and said "Bus hogia"' that's enougb. I said "Sub bogia" Is that ail? "Jehu"-Yes, be said. If you can imagine al that hein,, carried on in the midst of bustîe and noise, with nu order whatever by ai man who was dressed in dirty shirt and trousers wbo was there doing it because he was one of the highest cast men in India you may have some- what of an idea of the wedding.

Ideal weather, flags and bunting, splendid grounds, bountiful provi- ision from chicken pie to ice cream, systematie service, and about 200 menibers of the connection on pleas- ure bent insured the success which ail agree attended the gathering. Ladies' and men's softball, football, tug-of-war and a program of races' were carried on and not a dulI moment existed throughout the da. Many were missed. Sympathy was feit for those in sorrow and ilîness.1 The second generation bas well-nigh. passed.

His report read: "It is badly infested with sow thistle, as are ail the farms in the neighborhood. I have valued $1,000 less than I would if clean of this weed." And he only discounted the farm value 12%. Many inspectors would go mnuch higher. United action will exterminate the weed scourge. Destroy weeds wherever found. Under the pro- visions of the Weed Control Act, 1927, now in force, the destruction of weeds is no longer optional. It is coinpulsory. Your co-operation is needed to end the weed nuisance.
