It means that fifty years of the struggles of life have Jbeen jointly entered by husband and wife in the most harmonious way, This is the life that ■Mr. and. Mrs. John Fife of Ogden have served.Their Golden Wedding,With sweet devotion and love sacred and divine, after spending fifty years in wedded life, John F. and Janet Fife celebrate their golden wedding. 4The snows of many winters have left traces on their brows; but as we see them, side by side, they see not the marks of age which time has 1^'ft, but look to deeper things—beauty of the inmost soul. Beauties which fade not in this life, but brighten into eternity.Last night they were surrounded by sons, daughters and happy grand children, who are proud to know they have parents whose splendid lives mark the path which they might safely tread.With many friends of “The Ogden Day,” who wish them health and happiness the festivities of the evening began. As the sweet strains pf mu? sic softly tiled away many a heartfelt hand shake was extended to .the happy couple. By urgent request the two” related amusing and wholesome instances of their -wedding journey^We cannot help but thjnk what memories throng about the bride f and groom of fifty y$ars!To the strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march the bride, dressed* in white, the groom dressed in black and wearing the vest which he first wore fifty years ago, entered tho dining room, ^vhlch was artistically decorated with the golden wedding bell, draperies and golden 'glow. While all ■were seated at supper, which ’Ws most tastefully arranged, the fa Helving toasts were most ably responded to:Our Parents/1 by Alevx Fife. ?Dear Patents—Beloved father -add mother! How my thoughts desire to linger on those sacred names!'Twas fifty years ago today since' you were wedded, man and wife; .and in passing, let me say, wo are glad you had a wedding day.Year after year you have labored unceasingly that, we, * your children, might have every advantage necessary to promote harmonious growth of mind and soul.Hand In hand you’ve climbed life’s rugged steep together. Hand in hand you’ve walked life's flowery path; and when darkness settled ’rouxfd your habitation with life’s worries, disappointments, sickness and cares? and when death took loved ones from you—you leaned upon each other for support, and, united, bowed In hum-bin submission to Him who does all things best.Devoted, loving, constant and loyal to the truth, you have built a monument that earth’s temptations cannot tarnish, that life’s storms can never vash away; but shall remain ever bright and beautiful to beckon us on to noble deeds, which bears the fruits Of Life Eternal.”The Bride and Groom, Mathew Galt.The Family.
