SUNDAY AFTERNOON SERVICESA young and energetic curate suggested to the vicar that Sunday afternoon services should be held in the church for the school children.The Vicar gave his consent, and on the following Sunday afternoon the curate marshalled the children in the churchyard four a-breast to march into the church.He selected the hymn "Onward, Christian soldiers," and decided to conduct them into the church, in real Salvation Army style, walking backwards.On entering the church they commenced the verse, "See the mighty army, Satan leading on;" and he wondered why the congregation laughed.
