An English clergyman, who was sud-
denly called on to preach to a congre-
cation of college students was unable
to speak without notes, and had only
one written sermon with him, which
was on the duties of the married state.
The topic was hardly one that he would
have chosen for the occasion, but he
hoped that it would pass muster as be-
ing appropriate by anticipation. But,
unfortunately, he did not reaa the SER
mon over, and so, before he knew it.
he had uttered this appeal: 'And, now
\ word to Won who ara mothers"
