Second Lesson Sermons For Lent/Easter
Keith Miller, a well-known author and Episcopal churchman, arrived in Bloomington, Illinois, for a speaking engagement. He got to town the night before he was to speak so he bought a local newspaper to catch up on the local news. Close to Bloomington were two towns: Oblong and Normal. To his surprise the headlines on the society page read: "Oblong Man Marries Normal Woman." He thought that was hilarious. In the pulpit the next morning he told the congregation what he had read in the society section of the newspaper the night before. No one laughed. No one even made a snicker.
