in church, when anything suited her. by shout

"Haleuah I" etc, etc. Once she attended
Presbyterian church. and the deacon gave her
scat very neal the pulpit. The minister COM

ceeded At last he said something that made
the sister feel good" .nd she shouted GLORY

actions we're not allowed there. But she took
no notice of him. or what he said, but was all
attention To what the IMAM Of God' was pro-
claiming aud. as he proceeded he waIed"
warmer. end the sister gave another shout at
the top Of her voice, "GIury to God !" which
c'scohccrtcd the minister, and he looked after
the deacon, who came and told tho sister if she
did not stop, he would remove her from the
