"The other day I performed a roar riage ceremony for a' man who was marrying for the second time," he told me: "The moment I declared „ the eouple married, without waiting for the rest of the. ceremony .the bride- groom stepped out and moved a vote of thanks to me. 'I'm very proud hav- ing Mr. Barr to do this ceremony,' he said. ' He attended 'my first wife's: funerai. I was proud to have him then, but prouder still to have him today'" On another occasion, when Mr. Barr told a bride and bridegroom to join hands, the bridegroom joined hands with the. best man! , Mr. Barr was once complimented by a speaker, -..at a meeting where he had been lecturing on Burns, on "his in- teresting and: exhausting lecture," I hope the speaker `meant kindlier than he said. -No Half -Measures.'
