On a Sunday?

Mr. Lloyd approached the minister of his chapel after the service rather diffidently.

"I have a difficult and delicate question to ask you," he said, "a question of religion which my wife and I cannot decide for ourselves. What we want to know is, is it right for us to indulge in marital sex on a Sunday?"

"Now that is a difficult question," replied the Minister. "I shall have to consult with the deacons about it."

A fortnight later the Minister called at the Lloyd's home.

"Oh, I am glad to see you" said Mr. Lloyd. "What was the decision you came to?"

"Well, we had a lovely meeting about it," said the minister, "the discussion went on for four hours."

"Yes, but what did you decide?"

"Mr. Lewis Williams spoke with great eloquence: he practically had me in tears", said the minister.

"Yes, but what . . ."

"And", the minister went on, "Mr. Griffiths-Jones gave us a most learned discourse quoting many wonderful thoughts from the scriptures."

"Yes, but what conclusion did you reach?"

"Oh, we decided it was all right, provided you didn't enjoy it."
