attended the Ontario Agricultural
Societies convention in Toronto at
the Royal York, Feb. 15, 16, 17.
There, the girls introduced
themselves to all the different
delegates at the convention and
also attended several workshops.
They enjoyed their three day stay
and the different programs. They
particularly liked the concert night
and the dance that was held.
Don McDonald, chair of the
Personnel Committee of Huron
County Board of Education,
attended the OS BA conference in
Toronto this weekend. The
conference was on Annual Labour
Relations.
Don and Marilyn visited their
daughter Cathy and husband Paul
Flaxbard in Georgetown.
I was looking through Randy's
library looking for books of humor
when I came upon this one called
'More funny things on the way to
Church'. You’ve heard of hockey
bloopers and other sport bloopers
now you'll read about Church
bloopers. Next week I will phone
around and see if some of our local
ministers have had any such
experiences.
Messy Minister - it happened
when my father-in-law was a pastor
in Woodward, Ill. While out
visiting members, he stopped near
noon at a farm. The farmer's wife,
of course, invited him to stay for
lunch. Seated at the table, my
father-in-law noticed he was the
only one with a napkin. Half in jest
he asked the farmer's wife, "How
come I have a napkin but your
husband doesn't?" "Oh", she replied
quite seriously, "he doesn't
slobber." The Rev. Eugene Smith
(California).
It was the young minister's first
wedding, and he was desperately
determined to conduct the marriage
without a hitch. Everyone could see
he was nervous, but somehow he
managed pretty well, for a while.
Then came the words that,
thankfully, have been removed
from later service books -
something like "Into this holy
estate this man and woman come
now to be united." Fine. But the
follow-up came out, "If anyone,
therefore, can show just cause why
they may not be joyfully loined
(instead of joined) together..."
Hearing no protests, the young
minister forged ahead to the ring
ceremony, with growing confi
dence. But we in the pews pretty
much lost ours when he said, "Now
place the fing on her ringer." Rev.
David Issacson (N.Y.)
