It is the custom of a minister in
a certain seaboard town to read in
church the requests for the prayers
of the congregarten. Not long ago
this minister was absent and a city,
clergyman, who did not know the
custom, officiated in his place.
At the usual time the deaicon
handed the notices to the minister,
explaining what was to be done
with them. In a few moments the
congregation was startled to hear:
"A^ man going to see his wife de
sires the prayers of the congrega
tion for his safe return."
The notice Teally read. "A man
going to sea, his wife desires the
prayers of the congregation far
