q. A CHARITY SERMoS.-Dean Swift Il is
said was once obliged to preach charity
sermon. His work was soon over. The
text and discourse consisted OF two short
sentences $40 O. 8 l.f-- =
Text-"Who 90 giveth to the Door lend
eth to the Lord"
Sermon-"IfyOu like the security down
with your dust" l-
The report goes that the collection was
one of the largest ever made in that
church.
Not very dissimilar in STYLE, senten-
tiOusness and effect, was the sermon preach
ed by the illustrious Bishop ofOrlesns.
Monseigneur Duponlvup, in bis cathedral
on late Sunday, in behalf of the greatly
distressed operatives in the department of
the Lever Seine, Of which R1aen is the
capital.
His lOrdship assembled the pulpit and
said
This is no time fer long sermons, but
for good works. You are all acquainted
with the calamDities Of those whose cause
came here to plead before you. Once
upon time, King, whose name is still
cherished by us, said to his companions in
arms, on whom be thought with reason be
could rely-'My coed friends, am your
king; you are Freucbmen yUnder are the
enemy, now letus march, will not ad.
dress you in any other words this day
than these: | am your Bishop; you are
Christians yondsr are not our enemies,
but our brothers, who suffer let Us fiy to
their succor."
The Bishop then descend ed from the
pulpit and made the collection himself,
which amounted to the sum of Is, 266f
(ahout s. ,O50). very large sum consider
ing thatIt was the collection in only one
church in city that contains only 10000
inhabitants.
