MRS. EDGAR PIPPENGER

Jaclyn Line and Edgar Pippenger Wed At Nappanee Cn January 14

Yellow pompons, palms 'a nd candelabra were the background for the January 14 wedding of Miss Jaclyn Lne and Edgar J. Pippenger in Nappanee’s Calvary’ Baptist church. Rev. Vernon Shaw performed the 2 o’clock double ring - rite. Mrs. George Reed was the organist and Miss Diane Evans the vocalist. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs Clement Line of r 1 Syracuse. Mr. Pippenger is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Leßoy Pippenger of Nappqnee. The bride’s floor length gown was of satin and featured long sleeves ending in bridal points. An elbow length veil was held in place by a p<arl and crystal crown. She carried widte ro<es and white carnations DELIVERY SYSTEM NOT IMPORTANT There is a little story out of Scotland about an old woman of a very pious nature who lived under hard circumstances. Neverthelsss she was one who had great faith in the

Mrs. Robert Olsen of New Paris, the bride’s sister*, was matron of nsnor. Ikr was a gold floor ; length one. Her headpiece was a gold circular band with chin length veil The bridesmaid. Mjss Ginger Pippenger, Nappanee, the bridegroom’s sister, wore regal blue, styled the same as the matron of honor. James Stillman of Nappanee was best man. Gary Pippenger served as his brother’s groomsman. ;The ushei-s were Farrel Biller and Tom Richmond, both of Nappanee. A reception was held in the church social parlor following the ceremony. Serving were Mrs. Tom Richmond and Mrs. Farrel Biller. Sonya Line of Syracuse was in charge of the guest book. efficacy of prayer. One night two impious young rogues, passing her cottage window. overheard her, praying for bread. What a good joke it would be to answer her prayer., Quickly they ran to the village baker and bought two loaves of bread. Returning, they climbed up on the roof of the cottage and dropped the bread down fire chimney to the fireless grate below.

The next day they called at the old woman’s home, chatted with her innocently, and led her to tell them how God had answered her prayer for At this the graceless scamps laughed heartily. To make her look foolish. Ujyy explained how they had procured die bread anti dropped it down the chimney. But the old woman’s faith was not shaken. “I still say God sent it,” she said, “even though He used the devils imps to deliver it.” THE THINGS THAT TEST US In the winter of 1914, Theodore Roosevelt and a small party of adventurous men entered the jungles of Brazil. They were to follow the path of an unknown river from clcse to its source down to where it emptied into the giant Amazon. Travelers on the Amazon, who tifiu floated past the mouth of the unknown river, had already given it a name — The River of Doubt. .Among the major dangers facing the Roosevelt party were hostile natives whose primitive weapons were none the less deadly. Then there were the” huge alligators lying watchfully in the mud along the river’s bank. In the bordering jungle, sealthy jaguars prowled impatiently And worst of all were the falls and the treacherous rapids of th? river its.lf, which did claim one Lfe. Yet, when the Roosevelt party completed its successful exploration of the river’s course, it was not thes' 4 major dangers that impressed them as hardships. Instead, it was the ever-present miner annoyances —th? soaking perspiration from the debilitating heat, the welts raised by persistent mosquitoes, the plumb fli?s, the stings of giant wasps, the painful bit?s of poisonous ants, and ah the other insects that flew around their sweating faces or crawled under their wet clothing. It was the monotony of monkey meal when food ran short. These day-to-day realities, not the major threats, left their marks on the explorers’ memories. Life itself is pretty much like exploring a river of doubt. None of us know what may lie in the future or where the flow of time may take us. But one thing is certain. We can usually summon the courage to face the demands of major emergencies — financial reverses, Alness, the loss of family or friends. The things that test our fortitude, our patience, and our endurance are the little everyday frustrations and irritations. If we hove discipline to surmount these daily trials, we can be sure that there is nothing the future can bring which will destroy our faith in ourselves or defeat the purpose of our lives. HOSPITAL NEWS Mrs. Lillian Brown, Syracuse, was released from the St. Joseph hospital. South Bend, on Tuesday.

THE MAGIC OF LAUGHTER “There certainly is magic in laughter,” wrote Gladys Bevan, a newspaper columnist, “and no one should be more aware of that than a father or mother, because children especially love it.” Keep laughter in the home for it is the sound happiness and love. The father and the mother are the ones who must keep their sense of humor alive, for the responsibilities of life have a tendency to dull it. And nothing is worse for the home than the untimely surpression of the natural gaiety of children. Every father should check himself now and then to see if he is being as pleasant and cheerful in his own house as be is among those with whom he works. It is not fair to the family to be other wise. No father should be irritable and moody at home, when he knows he couldn’t get by with it among his associates in the world of business and industry. The home is the heart of America. Let us have happy homes where the parents are firm but fair, where fun is part of living, where mutual respect grows out of mutual love, and where the magic of laughter can be counted on to reiteve the normal tensions daily living.
