the word obey in the marriage ser vice strangely enough one never hears objections raised to the pro mise with all my worldly goods i thee endow that may sound sarcastic yet its true its not the wording of the marri age service thats wrong its the failure of the contracting twain to keep their vows too often the pro mises given upon the marriage day mean nothing whatsoever our di vorce courts are proof of- this a really worth while husband does not exact obedience nor a loving helpmate appropriate all a mans possessions more often by vlint of sacrifice she helps increase the treasury throughout life its a case of giv ing and getting forgivin and for getting and never more so than in the married state what cac it matter who giveth the woman away so ion is the woman is in it cd and body fit is getting the man of herheart desire and of whom the can say he is clean he u good better- still if she can add he is one of natures nob- est geaemen thank god there are women who can say this it the ivriter has misunderstood the statement iltributed to the lady m p for south grey she will gladly apologize for the mention of the name macphail otherwise your cor respondent expresses a
