The Saunders’ Golden Wedding
By Editor
Mr. William Saunders, for many years connected with this office as director and vice-president, and his wife, Mrs. Anne Saunders, celebrated their golden wedding with a quiet party of friends and relatives, April 13. They were married in England in 1852, fifty years ago, at the age of twenty-one. A striking coincidence in connection with the above is that they were baptized into the faith of the great threefold Gospel message (Rev. 14: 6-14), married to Christ, April 13, 1873, just twenty-one years after their marriage; and this last occurred just twenty-nine years ago. This brother and sister have now reached the ripe age of threescore and eleven years, fifty of which have been spent together, and twenty-nine of which have been in the cause for which this paper is an exponent. We pray that the coming years of earth may touch them lightly with its cares and burdens, and that at last the perennial years of the kingdom of God may be theirs. The child of God has an adversary, the devil, who commands legions of fallen spirits, or demons; yet he need not fear. He has also a Helper, One that is "mighty to save." Trust Him, and be gladly victorious.
