Thirteen to One
Just before the service the clergyman was called into the vestibule by a young couple, who asked that he should marry them. He answered he had not time then, but that if they would wait until after the sermon he would be glad to do so. Accordingly, just before the end of the service, he announced:
“Will those who wish to be married to-day please come forward?”
Thirteen women and one man quickly stepped up.
