gPHE LITTLE BROWN
<yHURCH IN THE VALE
It may be of considerable- inter”
■*est 'to our readers to know that Mr.
and Mrs. Clarence Morley who were
here last week on their honeymoon
yrith. their parents, Mr, and Mrs.
John Morley were married in what
is known as “The Little Brown.
Church in the Vale,” situated in
'Criekasaw County, Iowa, two miles
northeast of Nashua, Two years
ago the happy young couple ran
over there on a motor trip but did
not imagine at that time they should
be married in the Church but ro
mance called strongly and when the
. auspicous day drew.near they went
over and were married by the resi-
. dent minister, the Rev. William Kent
■on Sunday morning, June 7th.
soon as married the bride had the
pleasure of ringing the church bell
as the people were coming in for .the
■service. Mr. Morley had been up
•there two weeks before and had
made arrangements for the marriage
•jn this notable Church.
For hundreds of miles around
.young couples came to be married
tlipre and during the year an aver-
...age of 6Q0 marriages take place in
this church made famous because of
•the song written by Dr. W. S. Pitts
in the year 1857 -after visiting the
site where the church now stands.
'The church was. not finished until
'1864, is painted brown and the spot
where “The Little Brown Church”
stands was a setting of rare beauty
• even at that early date, according
-to Dr. Pitts, In 1864 when the
- church was finished Dr. Pitts visit
ed it one evening with his singing
class and sang from the manuscript
-of his poem “The Little Brown
■ Church in the Vale.” Soon after
wards it was published in. Chicago
and became famous. The Rev. J.
K. Nutting was the minister- from
1859 until 1867 and was-chiefly in
strumental in the building and fin
ishing of the Church. The people
who worship here are really appre
ciative of the halo of romance that
■surrounds their Little. Brown Church
and every year near the 15tli of
.June they hold an annual affair call
ed the “Brown Chuhch Reunion”
when many of their old. friends come
together, some, from long distances
to celebrate in fine programs of mu
sic and address. In 1916 the occa
sion being 'the fiftieth anniversary
old time friends of Rev. J. K, Nutt
ing and Dr. W. S. Pitts brought these
gentlemen to Nashua for the reun
ion, Mr. Nutting, aged 84, from Cry
stal Springs, Florida, and Dr. Pitts
.aged 87 from Brooklyn, N.Y. These
men delivered the addresses and Dr,
Pitts sang his old song “The Little
Brown Church in the Vale.” He al
so wrote a new song “After Fifty
Years” in honor of the occasion,
which was set to music and sung by
a mixed quartette. . Inside of two -
years the little BroW Church has
become so famous in all the states
surrounding that young people gen-
■ erally .tovet the privilege of being
married there, even though a pOmin-
al charge of $5.00 must be paid for
the privilege. Consequently,
sands of young couples have
supremely happy.

It seems a pity that more interest is not taken in the excur

in his head finds it difficult to visit the institution without com

found anywhere. -

TOO DOWNHEARTED
There- is far too much talk about hard times. Some folks are
telling us tlrat all the European countries are on the verge of col
lapse. The facts all point the other way. Still others talk about
there going to 'be a general business tumbling down. There are
no evidences of.iany such catastrophe. Churches are soon t-o be
poverty stricken, we are told. There is no occasion for any su'ch
belief. ’• ■
We know as well as anyone, that the coming fall apd winter
call for real adjustment in our housekeeping along every line.
Men will need to work when and. where they formerly played.
There will need to be a good deal of tightening the belt, and rolling
up of sleeves/ For a good many 'business executives there will .be
a fine ignoring of the eight-hour day. A good many luxuries will
need .to, disappear both from the table and the wardrobe. Walk
ing will need to take the place of burning gasoline. Hard work
will need to be ;sougth for and selfdenial will need to be practiced
but there fare no evidences of a mortal crisis. Highflutanism will
.vanish, but that will be for our benefit. Business men and- nations
and householders have surmounted -far greater difficulties than
they face now or thf\n they will face during the -coming fall and
winter. There is no occasion for anyone' to throw up his hands.
Rather the worst will turn the best, provided men work and think.

pretty June wedding was sol-A
emnized recently at the home of the
'bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John
D. Hazelwood, when their ' eldest
daughter, Verna Kathleen, was- unit
ed in marriage to William Duffield,
son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Duffield, both
of Whalen, Rev. A. V. Robb, offic
iated. The bride entered the draw
ing room with her father to the
strains of the bridal chorus from
‘•‘Lohengrin,” played by the groom’s
sister, Miss Grace Duffield, who was
gowned in flowered chiffon. The
bride took her place -beneath a
prettily decorated arch of bridal
snowballs. She was -charming in a
white satin and lace'gown with tulle
veil caught with orange blossoms,
and carried a 'bouquet of sunset
roses. The wedding ring, concealed
in a rose, was carried by Clare,
youngest brother of the bride. Dur
ing the signing of the register, Miss
Dorothy Hazelwood, sister of the
bride, sang “When Your Hair Has
Turned to Silver.” The. gro-om’s
gift to the bride was a tray of silver;
to the pianist a silver necklace and
to the soloist a 'brilliant' bracelet.
The groom’s mother wore, a gown of
Reseda green crepe, and the bride’s
mother a gown of brown satin-faced
crepe. Following -the ceremony a
wedding luncheon was served on the
lawn to about 50 guests. The tables
were prettily decorated with a pro
fusion of spring flowers, with a
large wedding cake in the centre.
Six girl friends of the bride acted as
waitresses, Misses Olve Bragg, Mabel
Kemp, Helen 'Thacker, Elsie Gunn
ing, Jessie Brooks and Mrs. Clifford
Shipley. Guests were present from
Toronto, Mount Forest, London,
Stratford, St. Marys, Seaforth, Kirk
ton and Lucan. The young couple
left on a motor trip to Michigan
and Ohio, the bride traveling in a
yellow chiffon dress, black >coat and
accessories to' match. After July 1
Mr. and Mrs. Duffield, will be at
home to their many friends, Main
Street Granton.
