Another Victory In Norway.
The women in Norway have gained anothei victory. F'or many years they have been waging war against the use of the word “ obey ” in the marriage service of the Norwegian Church, Their labours have at length been crowned with partial success. The Parliament
in Christiania has ruled that the use of the obnoxious word shall henceforth not be obligatory upon the bride, but only optional. The bride is to be free either to say that she will be “ faithful and obedient,” or simply to say that she will be “ faithful, ’ as she prefers.
