Rather Embarrassing.

"One Of the funniest and yet the
most embarrassing things that ever
happened during my ministry" said
clergyman to reporter, happened
while | had charge of church in a
small town. One Sunday | had for a
guest clergyman who had removed
from our town to a distant city about
ten months previous. As he was 4
very popular man with his townsmen
| asked him TO occupy my pulpit that
Sunday morning. II happened that
just at the time this clergyman left
town young man, who had only been
married short time, lost his bride
and was completely crushed by the
blow. Fears were entertained for his
reason, and everyone in town, includ-
ing my friend, the clergyman, felt the
deepest sympathy for him. Well, it
happened that while he was escorting
his wife's remains TO her former home
he met a most charming young lady,
and in less than six months they were
married. But the clergyman knew
nothing Of this, and when on that
fateful Sunday morning he stood in
the pulpit and saw before him this
young widower. as he supposed, he
naturally thought of his bereavement.
So it was that during his prayer the
congregation was amazed TO hear him
begin to pray for this young man.
He said:
"'There is before you, Lord, a
young man who has suffered recent
and terrible afiiiction aud tor whom
we ask your special blessing BE near
and comfort him in his last afiliction,
keep him safe in life and be near him
when death shall remove him from his
great sorrow
"Just think what that poor man
and his new wife must have felt sit
ting through such prayer as that.
The whole congregation gasped."
