they lived had an old-fashioncd, projecting
front, so that the first floor could not be

when some one knocked at the street
door.

he was at the time perfectly unconscious,

was,,a written one. lie WAS speaking Of
Perer's denial of the Savior, and Of bis sub

said he, "aiy did Peter weep! Because he
had committed crying sin" For Ar i'm
promptu and unwittingly uttered pun, this is
on Of the best on record.
