A CONGREGATION CAUGHT.— A clergyman in this city,
says the Bristol limas, noticing a few Sundays ago that
the attendance was very thin when a collection was
about to be made, intimated to his churchwardens just
before the sermon that it was best to postpone it. It was
accor,liogly defeired, but no day named. On the follow-
ing Sunday evening the church was very full of fair
weather attendant, who concluded that the " shilling
storm hai blown over ;" but in spite of their shrewd-
nee9 they were "caught in a shower." A brief notice
i, formed them that the collection would then be male.
It was made ar.d proved a very good one.
