II. Its blessInge. III. Its obligations. I. Marriage. Marriage is the first established of human relationships, and exists by express divine authority and provisions. It was first cotes, 'brated by God himself. It antedates sin, and belpngs to the original coa. stitution of the race, and not to later provisions of grace though sanctioned and sanctified by the latter. It re- mains a relic of Eden, and is tile highest and holiest human relation. saip possible. When properly and scripturally. assumed, it unites not creatures, but spirits, and joins two lives in a union. to be severed only by the hand, of death. It is scriptur- ally used to represent the love of Christ for his church, and the vital and permanent union between himself and his followers. The former Is represented m the absent bridegroom; the latter as the waiting, expectant bride, maintaining a sacred separation fltom other companionship, and in un - wearying affectiOn awaiting her Lord's return. Marriage is the foundation of the home; the .first institution estab- lished by the Creator, and which be- comes the source, . centre and deter- mining factor in axial and civic con- ditions.

No life is complete in itself. Second, the perpetuation of the race Under proper and ennobling conditions of heredity and environment. A pro- perly constitutaa home life affords the Ideal conditions. Parentage is one of the ennobling and cementing elements to twenty years old.

ANOTHER TRIAL AT BARGAINING Washington is Looking for One From Berlin; While Watching the Battle in Progress. 411••••••••••••11 ....111•1••••••• Amsterdam, Cable, --The German reply to President Wilson probably will be despatched on Saturday after- noon, accordiug to advices received here. London, Cable. -The British For- eign Office announced officially this evening there was no truth in the ru- mor that his Majesty's Government had been in touch with Austrian statesmen in Switzerland or else- where. Washington, Report -Little new in- formation reached' Washington to -day about the developments going for- ward in Germany upon which will de- pend the nature and time of the next move toward peace. The situation ap- parently is what it' has been for se- veral days. The Germans are hasten- ing their constitutional and electoral reforms in the hope of presenting a Government with which the Allies will deal in restoring permanent peace, while conferences proceed on the queetion of how far the military ma- chine etiall go toward meetiug the conditions precedent to consideration altihsepelea for the ardently deaired mtic. There is no evidence here of great disappointment over the failure or a .new note to come from Berlin as quickly as persistent report through neutral countries have -indicated it might be expected. In fact. when Pre- sident Wilson's reply to Prince Maxi- milian was despatched it was .assumed that considerable time mthet elapse be- fore ehe Germane would be heard from again in view of the virtual demand for an uncenditional surrender, the hour for which no one here was ready to predict had come. Or course it al- so was assumed that at least one more trial at bargaining would be expected, so another note is looked for as soon as those in power in Berlin decide they are in a position to make a pro- posal likely either to receive consid- eration or to be east adrift in the Al- lied camp and strengthen the eituation at The amet. titude in Washington is one of confident waiting for the break that ultimately mut come. Every one is watching the western front. The great retreat or the Germans there is being carried out without demoraliza- tion, indicating that discipline and fight still is left in the Kaiser's war inacnine. It is realized that a success - rut stand before the German borders er reached may govern the tone of the next diplomatic communication and give the war lorda further period of grace.
