The college boys played a mean trick on "Prexy" by pasting some of the leaves of his Bible together. He rose to read the morning lesson, which might have been as follows:
Now Johial took unto himself a wife of the daughters of Belial. (He turned a leaf.) "She was eighteen cubits in height and ten cubits in breadth." (A pause, and careful scrutiny of the former page.)
He resumed: "Now Johial took unto himself a wife," etc. (Leaf turned.) "She was eighteen cubits in height and ten cubits in breadth, and was pitched within and without�" (Painful pause and sounds of subdued mirth.) "Prexy" turns back again in perplexity.
Young gentlemen, I can only add that 'Man is fearfully and wonderfully made'�and woman also.
