Show Three Objections. The old Scottish minister was tireless tire-less in looking up members of his flock and was never so happy as when he was visiting them in their houses. He had noticed that for some time one hitherto regular church-goer had become very slack in bis attendance at the service and he resolved to go and find out the reason for this neglect. "Donald,"' he said, as soon as he was seated in the parlor, "I bavena seen ye at the kirk for Some time." "No, sir," replied the man. "And I wad like to know the '-onsen." "YVeel, sir," replied Donald. ' I hae three decided objections. Firstly, I dinna believe in sae nuickle singin'; secondly," I dinna believe in bein' whaur ye dae a' the talkin', an', thirdly, third-ly, an' in conclusion, 'twas there I got me wife." The minister asked no more questions. |
