MINISTER URGES CENSORSHIP OF “INDECENT” TELEGRAMS AT WEDDINGS
(Special to Beacon) “Those who send indecent telegrams to wedding functions must either intend to insult the bride and bridegroom on the most important day of their lives, or else they assume that the couple enjoy hearing indecent things said in th' : " company,” said the Rev. J. A. Thomson, convener of the Life and Work Committee in presenting his report to the Assembly of the Presbyterian Church at Wellington. “I am sure that most of them who send such telegrams would not dare to say in person what , they send with impunity over the telegraph wires.” Mr Thomson urged that telegrams should be censored by the chairman of the wedding breakfast before the yare read.
