The new minister's wife had a baby. The minister appealed to the
congregation for a salary increase to cover the addition to the family.
The congregation agreed that it was only fair, and approved it.
When the next child arrived, the minister appealed again and the
congregation approved again.
Several years and five children later, the congregation was a bit upset
over the increasing expense. This turned into a rather loud meeting one
night with the minister. Finally, the minister stood and shouted out,
"Having children is an Act of God!"
An older man in the back stood and shouted back, "Rain and snow are Acts
of God, too, and we wear rubbers for them!"
