The young clergyman, or ‘rector’ as the Church of Ireland man of the cloth was known, arrived in a remote area of the country to take up his duties. He hammered up a notice on the church door announcing that there would be service at ten o’clock on the following Sunday.
At five minutes to ten on the Sunday he approached his church and saw only one man waiting on the road outside. He hopped around the back and entered the church to see if there was any congregation and, as he expected, the place was empty.
