DEMOCRAT & NEWS,

Amt DOING THAT KlNDoF BUSINESS
We heard astory day or two ago which
is too good to be lost. There was being
held a religious meeting, not . hundred
miles from th. village, and from some
cause the "leaier" was not present, aud
awheel horse OF the concern who was
present could not find his spectacler,
consequently it devoved upon young
and ardent convert TO lead the m,ctin'.'
lie took the stand and proceeded with
his preliminary remarks, but had not
got far, however, when he elevated bis
voice and exclaimed: My brc,hering
and sisters, | don't believe that Jesus
Christ is going to pull anybody into
heaven-no stree he amt dong that
kind Of business" About this time the
old gentleman informed the speaker
that he had found his spec,acles; the
young man took the hint and subsidized.
