RING AND OBEDIENCE.
Speaking recently at University College, Loudon, on "The Evolution of England," Professor A. V. Pollard alluded incidentally to the proposal to omit the word "obey" from tho Marriage Service. Ho believed there was something common in origin between tho ring put through the noso of the wild bull and the ring which was put on a certain finger of a lady's hand. It implied originally a certain amount of control, a certain amount, perhaps, of captivity and obedience. (Laughter.) Now that we were getting rid of "obedience," there would perhaps bo a campaign against Hie ring as well. (Laughter.) The only objection to that was that the ring was quite a useful form of advertisement. (Laughter.)
