Studied The Wrong Answers

A young man, intending to enter into the matrimonial state, decided to study the answers to the questions which he would be required to answer by the preacher. He made a very ridiculous mistake by studying the answers to the questions asked persons about to be baptized instead of those he ehould have studied. Upon the preacher's asking him if he "took this woman to be his lawful wedded wife," the groom fearlessly answered, "I renounce them all!" The minister was so astonished at his answer that he muttered, "I beIieve you're a fooi." The happy groom blandly answered: "AH this I steadfastly believe." The mistake was soon afterwards discovered; the groom was then told what to say and he said it without further mistake.
