The story has been told, mostly as a joke, about several famous preachers, but years ago it actually happened to Joseph Parker, minister of the City Temple in London. An older lady waited on Parker in his vestry after a service to thank him for the help she received from his sermons. "You do throw such wonderful light on the Bible, doctor," she said. "Do you know that until this morning, I had always thought that Sodom and Gomorrah were man and wife?"
