Edward Long for the splendid and appropriate ser mon that he preached to us on last Sunday night at the First Baptist church, and for the splendid music that the choir gave us. Also for the solo by Miss Emmie Robertson, which was highly enjoyed. We look. for ward to the time when we can be with you again. Niagara Tribe No. 52. teen I became engaged to a man who was flen years my senior. As I was so young, he thought it would be. a wise plan to wait until Lwas older. He said he wanted me to be sure of what I wanted before I married him. He is a fine man. I admire and respect him more than any other man I have ever known, but now, after three years, I don’t want to marry him. It is just within the last few months that I feel as I.do. I feel as though I have missed something—I want to meet other men. Our marriage has been set for June. It is to be announced next week. Once it has been announced I will go through with it. Will I be happy if I marry him ? In mak ing other people happy, do we not find our own happiness? Will I, in making this man’s life wonderfully full, find peace and contentment of mind? EDNA. My dear Edna: “DON’T DO IT. I know of no greater injustice you could do this man who loves you than to marry him without love. You will not only wreck your own life—you will wreck his. You speak of making him unhappy by breaking off with him. You will make him more unhappy eventually by marrying him without love. You cannot pretend a love you do not feel for any great length of time. The pain he will suffer when you tell him you no longer love him is nothing compared with what' he will suffer when he learns of your deceit in pre tending to love him. When a woman marries a man she does not love, there is but a small possible chance that she will love him after marraiage. That chance is one in a hundred. On the other hand, the chances are ninety-nine in a hundred that she will fall in love with some man not her husband. If you were older—had known many men, and married , a man without Jove, it might be a success because of a deep respect, admiration and under standing. But 'ho normal girl can be satisfied with self-sacrifice in mar riage. She wants action—red-blood ed and vital. She wants to feel the joy of life for herself. She wants to know love, romance, passion and these you will not find by marrying a man whohi you do not love. People who marry with love find it hard work to keep fropi falling out of love. The disillusions that come with marriage do not tend to make a woman fall in love. The re straints and sacrifices of marriage— with conflicting wills and personali ties, are more likely to make a man or woman fall out of love. I am inclined to think, Edna, that perhaps it is lack .of courage that keeps you from telling him how you feel. Why not be quite frank about it—tell him that you feel you should first know many other men—in order that you may be able to better judge. You say that you have been very happy for three years. You may decide after you have known other men that you care more for this man than you possibly could care for any one else. I believe if you explain your problem to this man he will un derstand, and he will have a deep respect for your bravery in being honest about it. He is older than you and possibly understands better tlum you think. ' The very fact that he was willing to wait until you were old enough to know your own mind suggests that he will be willing to .giv$ you a bet ter chance to know just what you want before marrying anyone. Jacobs, Jr. Special Meeting Knights of Pythias Clinton Lodge No. 84, Knights of Pythias, will hold a special meeting Friday night to which all members are asked to be present. The elect ion of officers for the new year will be made and work will be done in the third, rank. The meeting begins at 7:30 and F. M. Stutts, the chancellor commander, is urging that all mem bers be on hand at that hour. A LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS Clinton, S. C., Dec. 15, 1924.
