Verger Stopped A Kissing Game
VER
VERGER Irvin, of St. Gabriel's Episcopal Church at Glasgow, surprised two members of the Young People's Guild kissing in the churola half, with the lights oul, and he was told recently to prepare the hall for an emergency meeting.
The vestry met in private to de- bate the business and to decide whether or not they should tell the bishop.
Members of the Young People's Guild, reported to be ashamed of their behaviour in playing postman's knock, have disbanded their organi- sation.
The Rev. W. G. S. Snow, minister of the church said we have not yet decided what action will be taken.
"Naturally we are very upset about the whole affair.'
Mr. A Robinson, the people's warden, says, "There were between thirty and forty members in the guild, and whether or not it will bo reorganised will depend on what action the vestry decides, to take."
