church paper, The Lutheran. as fol-
lows:
'We still hear of couples going to
Hagerstown to get married. 1t seems
strange that persons can leave their
own pastor and 90 to those with
whom they are nDaequainted. Some
talk about the novelty or surprise they
give, but how about the gall, or nerve
or cheek, when they are i'll, or want
pastor at home to otiiciate at their
funeral? 1t wouldn't be amiss for
such persons to send away for an Of
floating clergyman. Treat your pas
tor badly, yet he is ever ready to do
your bidding in the hour of sorrow
or great need. He viii overlook your
neglect in rejecting him in performing
the wedding tie, service it would be
his pleasure to perform, and upon
which all parties could reflect with
pleasure TO come"
