There was a small Cornish parish where a vicar's wife was expecting a baby. He went to the congregation and asked for a raise. After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that whenever the vicar's family expanded, so would his salary. After six children, this started to get expensive and the congregation decided to hold another meeting to discuss his salary.

There was much yelling and bickering about how much the clergyman's additional children were costing the church. Finally, the vicar got up and spoke to the crowd. “Having children is an act of God!” Silence fell upon the congregation. No one dared to challenge the thought.

An old local fisherman stood up and in a gruff voice said: “Howling wind, 40' waves and torrential rain are also acts of God, but when we get too much, we wear rubbers...”
