One of the most notable events in soclety circles last week was the wedding of Aeron Heringhi and Miss Louise Ruef last Sunday. The marrisge took place at Armory Hall, which was for the time transformed into a bower of beauty, with its magnificent decora- tions of trailing smilax and waving palms. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. Dr. Nieto. At 5 o'clock Ballenberg’s orchestra struck up Mendelssohn’s Wedding March, and the bridal procession, led by Miss Pauline Sit- tenfeld, a charming little miss, carrying the cushion with the wedding ring, entered. She was surrounded by 8 bevy of other children, | g them being: | s Moody, Miss Frances Moore, Miss “Maraquita | Miss Me- | | sages of congratulation were all dressed in most brilliant attire. Miss Marie | Ruef, the maid of honor, came next, then fol- lowed the bride, leaning on the arm of her father. After the ceremony the guests marched to the dining-room, where a s tion awaited them.” Many te ing_ followed for some hours.

The decorations were beautiful and the supper superb and bountiful. The bride, & bewitching little brunette, looked nagown of cream faille and flowing The tall and handsome groom seemed fully to appreciate the prize he had won. Lov- ing friends sent presents costly and numerou but emong them all none seemed more appr ciated than the little envelope slipped iato the “When the Swallows Homeward Fly.” [By Carl-Hap in Fin-de-Siecle.] hand of the bride by her father, containing a £500. One of the most honored guests was the handsome old gentle farmer, the father of the groom. San Jose may well bé proud to claim him as one of its most respected citizens.

He is a failure who fails; he is a success who succeeds. the church and the world, and pastors would do well to heed the fact. Invariably those who fail lay the blame on some one else, or on ‘“‘the circum- stances.” But neither the church nor the world so far excuses those who fail ‘‘be- cause of the circumstances’ as to wish to continue to employ them. The church does not want failures in its employ, no more than the business world does; and the man who as a pastor cannot, in due time. devise ways and means by which to | rise above and really prevent Messrs, Cir- cumstances from causing his work to fail, is a pastor for whom the church has no use, and to whom it must and will soon | cease to give a charge. When Oliver Cromwell, in September, 1650, was at Dunbar, Scotland, hemmed in on all sides by Leslie’s army and the sea, the circumstances were all against him; but by superior diligence and masterly military skill he won the great victory of his life. The same was true of Washington at Trenton and Yorktown, and of Grantat Vicksburg and Chattanooga. The suc- cessful worker 1s he who succeeds, even though the circumstances are all against him; and the time is here when pastors must cease pleading ‘“‘the circumstances’ as an excuse for their failures. One of our live, most wide-awake and most faithful lay workers in the church in the East, who is a man of years of experi- ence, is widely acquainted throtcghout our Zion in those parts, and is intensely loyal to all the interests of the church, writes: “You are right in the Telescope in your articles on raising the standard. Put it high and keep it there.”’ g Another equally intelligent, progressive consecrated brotherin \'imm{: writes: i hope you will keep the question before the church and the conferences, until the whole church is thoroughly aroused to the importance of a higher standard of qualifi- cation in her ministers. We of the laity see and feel most keenly the importance of it. Some of us laymen also think that the conferences should be careful to grant no one license to preach who has not given “Daddy" evidence by life and conduct of a thorough consecration to the work of our Lord and Master. We hope and pray that the ‘con- 1 40 & 42 GEARY ST This is the verdict of both | | ferences will do it’ for the good of our own Zion, as well as for the glory of God.” The fact is, the young or middle-aged man who comes to his conference several years in succession with poor reports. and then pleads as an excuse that he did the best he could ‘‘under the circumstances,” ought to awake to the fact that he is a fail- ure in the ministry and voluntarily step down and out. Our laity everywhere are demanding pastors whom Messra, Circumstances can- not defeat, and our young men entering the ministry must seek that equipment, intellectually, socially and spiritually, whizh will, ‘with God’s help, make them more than a match for “‘the circumstances’ and the devil combined.—Dayton (Ohio) Religious Telescope.
