HIS WEDDING FEE BELATED

Clergyman Receives S2O Check Twenty Years After Performing Ceremony—Was Short of Funds.

New York. —Rev. Horace D. Ferris, now pastor of a church In North Salem and twenty years ago tn charge of a congregation at Quogue, L. 1., has just received a fee of S2O for a wedding that he performed at Quogue twenty years ago. The couple whom he married are now living in Manhattan. At that time of the marriage the bridegroom said he was short of funds and asked the minister td wait for his tee, promising to send it as soon as he could.

Mr. Ferris forgot all about the wedding long ago. He was astonished a few days ago to receive a check for S2O, accompanied by a letter expressing the writer’s regret at having kept him waiting so long. It was only by consulting his old records that the clergyman was able to recall the ceremony.
