A NEW EXCUSE.
Recently a young man spoke to his vicar about the reason some people had given him for their non-attend-ance at Church. "We never go into Church' but we are asked to put our hands into our pockets for money for something or other," they had complained. "Oh," replied the vicar, "you don't want to take that too seriously. People who want an excuse for staying away will always find one. Once it used to be the Church draught." "Yes," chimed m the vicar's wife, "and now it is the church overdraft."
