Cured the wrath of the clergy.
Rev. George S. Woomer who recent
IN left the Methodist Episcopal pulpit
here to accept IA pastorate at Mount
Union, HUNTINGTON county. delivered a
sermon in which he said: AT Holi-
daESburg, our parsonage was at one
side of the courthouse. A short dis
tance away another Protestant minis
ter resided, and We both did consid-
cradle business along the marrying
line. A justice of the peace. who de-
cided to compete with us in the marry
ing business was elected.
That man enlisted the support of
the the courthouse officials, especially
clerk in the prothonotary's office, the
task of the latter being to recommend
his office as a suitable place to have
the nuptial knot tied. Ny Protestant
contemporary and myself couldn't
compete against such odds.

The law of PENNSYLVANIA wisely
sanctions marriages performed BY
Justices Of the peace. If the law was
otherwise. wedding bells would only
ring for the saints and for people who
attend the same church, while all
others would be cast into the outer
darkness Of celibacy."
