state In the marriage ceremony was
strongly urged by the Rev. R. T. Hen

plauded by many members of the Ep
iscopal church congress, in session
j here.
"It is the office of the church to
! bless the marriage; that of the state
| to legalize it. But only the man and
| woman makes the marriage and the
■only sacrament is theirs,” declared
I the speaker.
Twenty-seven degrees below zero
