EMERALD
WEDDING.
1884-1924.
By Seriptorious.
Forty years
ot
married
life
and
stiil
hesrty,
hale,
and happy
is
not
the
com-
mon
experience
of
every
person
who
has embarked
upon the
guest
of
lLapyi-
ness
via the eonjugal altar; yet,
this
has
been
so in the case of an oid
couple,
Mr.
and
Mrs. Thomas
Wilson of
Estate
Leb-
anon Hill, who, yesterday,
15th, rounded
out a full two score
of Junes
within
the
pleasant
and
unpleasant
places
of
the
matrimonial
pastores.
Th>
event
was
celebrated
in
a
very
befitiing manner
by
a special
service
at
the Lutheran
Church
at
Kings
Hil), of
which
the venerable
pair
are
striet
and
active
members,
the
groom
occupying
the position of Sexton.
I- had
been
ar-
ranged
that
the
Despatehiag
Secretary
Barrett,
would
deliver
the
address
of
the
day;
but
just
at
th2
last
moment
this
distinguished
official
was
¢ lled
awav
on duly-
The
obligation
to speak
therefore,
fell
upon
the
good
Rever-
end
Christensen,
who,
after
the
ren-
dering of
a violin
solo
by
Miss
Rhehe-
nia Robinson
and
the
singing
of
appro-
priate hymns
by choir and
eongregation,
treated
an attentive and appree ative audi-
ence
to an address,
whick was remarkable
alike for its instructive
ard
its
admoni-
tory value.
The speaker
dealt
with
the
subject of Home
Life and
its influence
for good or
11l
in
a
community,
taking
bis
text
from
Prov.
12: 7.
Hewarmly
commended
the
august
couple
on
their
achievement,
and
beld up their example
before
their
assembled
children,
grard-
children,
and
great
grandchildren
as
worthy of emula ion.
It does
not
mat-
tet how rich the home,
he said, how well
appointed
or
how
comfortable
or
eul-
tured it may be; if it is
not
based
upon
the high prineiples of common
:oil,
com-
mon
worship,
and
common
sacrifice,
it still fall short
of
its opportunicy
of
building
up
strong
moral
fibre
in
the
