IN THE WRONG PULPIT.—A rpther amusing and
unusual clerical mistake occurred in Aberdeen on
Sunday forenoon. It so happens that the ministers of the
Established and Free St. element's Churches, Footdee,
are both presently enjoying holiday out of town. Arrznge-
ments had consequently been made with two young
preachers to supply the respective pulpits ; and accord-
ingly, in fulfilment of promise, substitute No. 1 arrived at
the Free Church vestry in good time to despatch the pre-
liminary adornments, get the manuscript into exact posi-
tion, Sc. By the time these little needfuls were accom
plished, substitute No. 2 came on the ground, when, of
course, some conversation took place as to the minister of
the church having bespoken two aids. However, guile-
less of wrong, and in the best humour, taking it for
granted that the double supply was a bit of forgetfulness
or mal-arrangement on the part of their friend, the parson
proper, substitute No. 1 ascended to the pulpit, while No. 2
went and took his seat among the worshippers. The
psalm being duly given out, the singing commenced—
everything proceeding decently and in order. Meantime,
the thought flashed across the mind of a shrewd elder, who
had seen the two comers arrive, that possibly one of them
might be intended for the Old Zion, whose clergyman, he
happened to know, was from home. Forthwith the Free
beadle was despatched to make inquiry as to how the land
lay over the way, and happening to meet the Established
brother of the pass, he learned in hot haste that with him
all was barrenness—no help or aid having at ten minutes
past 11, the hour of beginning the service, put in appear-
ance. The mischance was clear as light. Back hurried
the Free Church beadle, who hastily informed the occu-
pant of the pulpit that he was in the wrong box, who
thereupon, with all the necessary speed, quitted the place
I while the singing was still going on.—Banftskire Journal.
