Dr. R. F. Horton, in the _Christian Endeavor World_, tells this
incident concerning a wedding where he officiated:
A very little man had brought to the altar a very big bride,
who, moreover, was attired in purple, and certainly bore a
formidable aspect.
Whether the situation affected the bridegroom, or in a dreamy
reminiscence his mind wandered back to childhood and the
catechism when, on the mention of the world and the flesh and
the devil, he promised to have nothing to do with them, I
can not say. But sure enough, when I put to him the crucial
question, “Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife?” the
answer came, low but clear, “I renounce them all!” It was with
some compunction that I said to him, “You must say, ‘I will.’”
