ChAS. STERN CO
in the Isle of Man the wedding ring
was formerly used as an instrument
of torture. Cyril Davenport in his
book on “Jewelry" remarks that there
once existed a custom in taat island
"according to which an unmarried girl
who had been offended by a man.
could bring him to trial and if he
were found guilty she >. 'mid be pre
sented with a sword, a rope and a
ring. With the sword she might cut
off his head: with tne rope she might
hang him, or with the ring she might
marry him. It is said that the latter
punishment was that invariably in
flicted.”
The wedding ring, which was tol-
crated by the Methodists,, was anath
ema to the early Puritans, who re
garded personal adornment as one of
the many snares of Satan. Wesley,
who was a High Churchman, probably
recognized its symbolical value. In
the old English marriage service it
was tin- custom for the bridegroom to
put tne ring on the thumb of th
bridge, saying, “in the name of the
Father,” then on the next finger, sav
ing. “and the Son.” then on the third
finger, saying, “and of the Holy
Ghost.” finally on the fourth linger,
with the word “Amen.”
Tne ring was left there because, as
the Sarum rubric says, "a vein pro
ceeds thence to the heart.” In the
modern marriage service the ring is
placed at once upon the third finger,
the Invocation to the Trinity being
understood.
The wedding ring was the only
form of jewelry permitted to the ear
ly Methodists, and there are people
still living wno recall How no longer
than forty years ago they were re
proved by old Alethodist ministers
for breaking the rules of membership

which forbade (and technically still
forbid! Methodists to wear gold, jow
ls or costly apparel; but with fine
courtesy John Wesley know when to
ignore breaches of his own regula
tions.
In visiting a house one of tne
preachers drew Wesley's attention to
the host's daughter, who was wearing
several jeweled rings; but instead of
the rebuke which his preacher sought
to evoke. Wesley only gravely and
gently remarked, “A very beautiful
hand.”
