“Marriage is the strictest tie o f per petual friendship, and there can be no friendship without ".‘ confidence, and no confidence without integrity; and he must expect to be wretched, who pays to beauty, riches, or politeness that regards which only virtue and piety can claim,’,’—Dr. Johnson. “ Two persons who have chosen each other out of all the species with a design to be each other’s mutual comfort and en tertainment have,' in that action, bound themselves. to be goodrhumored, affable, discreet, forgiving, patient, and joyful,, with respect to each other’s frailties and perfections, to the end o f their lives.”— Addison. ■ “Never marry but for love; but see that thou lovest what is lovely.”—Wm. Penn. “ I shall always endeavor to make choice o f such a woman for my spouse who hath first made choice of Christ as a spouse for herself; that none may be made one flesh with me who is not made one spirit with Christ my Saviour. For I look upon the image o f Christ as the best mark of beauty I can behold in her, and the grace of God as the best portion I can receive with her.”—Bp. Reynolds. — O— F ebr u ar y 19, 1927 Are the teachings o f Jesus up to date? . . Matt. 7 :24-29 Just to sinner and saint alike, Exemplifying love divine.

F ebr u ar y 12, 1928 Ideals fo r Choosing a Life Partner: Prov. 31:10-31 “If you would have the nuptial union last, Let virtue be the bond that ties it fast.” T h o u g h t s o n T h e T opic /"' i OD saw in the beginning when He '■-* created men, the need of companion ship for Adam and thus we read in Gen. 2:18, “And God said, It is not good that the man should be alone. I will make him a helpmeet fo r him.” First and foremost in choosing a life partner the spiritual interests should be the same to assure a happy home, blessed o f the Lord. Happy, is the home that can truly say “Christ is the Head of this house; the unseen Guest at every meal, the Silent Listener to every conversa tion.” Therefore, such a choice should be made within the family of God, for no true happiness can be had when we dis regard God’s explicit command (2 Cor. 6:14-18). It is written in Proverbs 18:22 that “whosoever findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor o f the Lord." “ Findeth” implies, the rarity o f the thing obtained (Eccles. 7:27, 28), and the need o f careful search. By the finding o f such a one the man obtaineth favor o f the Lord. How essential, then, it is in selecting the one who is to be a helpmeet, that that one be o f God’s choosing as well as the man’s choice. Also in Prov. 19:14, “A prudent wife is from the Lord.” ■ We may not expect the Lord to super- naturally point Out the individual. Our own discretion must be- put into exercise, along with prayer for divine guidance, so as to bring about a happy result. Then realizing that every good gift is from the Lord, and that a good wife is God’s gift to pian. He should be praised for bestow ing upon fis the one who is to journey with us through life. The characteristics o f a good life part ner are described in our lesson as One who is virtuòus (v. 1 0 ), reliable (v. 1 1 ), in dustrious (v. 13) and one with foresight and forethought (v. 18). — o — C h oice N uggets “ It is a mistake to consider marriage merely a scheme of happiness ; it is also a bond of service.”—Chapin. > “ The happiness Of’ married life depends upon the power o f making small sacrifices with readiness and cheerfulness."— Selden. : “God has set the type of marriage everywhere throughout the creation. Each creature seeks its perfection in another. Thè very heavens and earth picture it to us.”—Luther.
