Survey of the New Testament
BY
WILLIAM THOMPSON, JR.
At two sharp four people ar-
rived. One couple was well along
In years, and the other couple
was young. I presumed that the
younger couple was the one that
was getting married.

After a brief conversation I
asked the young couple to stand
UP They immediately arose,
and I asked for the license. They
informed me that it was the
other couple that wanted to get
married, and that they were
only helping the other couple.
I asked the first couple to be
seated, and in turn asked the
other couple to stand up.
I inquired if they wanted to
give an exchange of rings, and
they did. All went well to the
point of exchanging rings. When
the man started to put the ring
on the bride's finger, he dis
covered it was too small
After a very determined effort
to get the ring on, I suggested
that the ring would be all right
just partially on. About that
time the young lady that had
accompanied them spoke up and

were added to the laird There
h: e been f, ".additions in the
past three months.
Several years ago while in the
mission field, 1 received a tele-
phone call about noon one day.
A lady was inquiring about get-
ting married. She wanted to
know if 1 would perform the
ceremony. After talking with
her a few minutes, I consented
to oblige her. She stated that
she and her husband-to be,
would be at my home about two
o’clock.
Maurice Tisdel is now the reg-
ular preacher for the Northside
church in Lubbock, Texas. He
spent 13 years in the Northwest
as a missionary. He is active in
conducting Teacher - Training
classes in Cottage Meeting
work.

lady’s finger had begun to
swell. The man was determined
to remove the ring so that he
could place it on the right fin-
ger. that he would not listen to
the suggestion offered.
The situation was rather em-
barrassing by this time, and I
suggested that he not pull on
the lady's finger any more, that
I would go and get a pan of
water and some soap I went
to the kitchen for the soap and
water, and when 1 returned, the
man was still pulling.
The lady was frantic with
pain Just as I was ready to
apply soap and water, the man
gave a "yank” and off came the
ring, and a little hide with it.
It was a little difficult to keep
my face straight to finish the
ceremony.
