HE WAS "TURNED DOWN."
j The elders of a Scottish church ap- ' proached their minister with the request that he would seriously consider the ques- > tion of getting married, both in his own interest and the interests of the church. He consented on condition that they would supply him with a list of eligible and suitable ladies in the congregation. This was duly done. Calling on the first one, i he began by way of introduction: "I i have been told, Miss Blank, that it is 1 better for the church that I should get ; married. Would you consider such a 3 proposition from me ?" i " Certainly not!" replied Miss Blank, 3 ushering him out indignantly. " Oh, , thank you," said the minister. " Then , I can cross your name off the list."
