Watty Morrison, Scotch Clergyman,
was a man of great wit and humor. On
one occasion, a young officer scoffed at the
idea of its requiring so much study to pre-
pare a sermon, as ministers usually pre-
tended, and offered bet, that he would
preach half an hour on any passage in the
Old Testament, without the least prepara-
ton. Mr.. Morrison took the bet and gave
him for a text, "And the ass opened his
mouth and spake." The boasting officer
was little inclined to employ his eloquence
on that text; and the humorous Morrison
won the wager and silenced the scoffer.
