We'll. no. the fellow said: lac
hadn't noticed it, but II might he: he
had played along just As IT came
handy.
So it was agreed the simple old
dummy was to keep his eye on the
panorama after that, and rs soon as
stunning picture was reeled ont, he
was to fit it to a dot with piece of
music that would help the audience
get the idea of the subject, and
warm them up like ii revival camp
meeting. That sort of thing would
corral their sympathies, the show
man said.
There was large audience that
night-mostly middle aged people,
who belonged to the church, and
took a strong. interest in Bible mat
ters.
Well, the Snowman began to swell
himself up for his lecture, and the
orchestra" tackled the piano, and
run. Ibis fingers up and down the
keys once or twice to see all was
right, and the fellows behind the
scene began to grind out the pano-
rama. The Snowman balanced his
weight on his right foot, propped his
hands on his hips, flung his eyes
over his shoulder on the scene, and
said:
Ladies' and gentlemen, the paint
ing now before you illustrates the
beautiful and touching parable of the
Prodigal Son. Observe the happy
expression just breaking over the
features of the poor and suffering
youth-so worn and weary with his
long march: note also the cctasy
beaming from the uplifted counte-
nance OF the aged father, aud the joy
that sparklcs in the eyes of the ex-
cited group of youths aud ma;dcns,
and seems ready to burst in a well
coming chorus from their lips.
The lesson, my friends is as
solemn and obstructive as the sto-
ry is tender and beautiful"
The musician was ready, aud the
second the speech was finished, he
struck up:
| "Oh, we'll all get blind drunk,
| When Johnny comes marching home!
Some of the people giggled, and
some groaned little. The show
man couldn't say a word. He looked
ut the pianist sharp, but he was all
lovely aud serene-he didn't know
there was anything out of gear.
The panorama moved on, aud the
Snowman drummed up his grit and
started in fresh:
Ladies' and gentlemen, the fine
picture now unfolding itself to your
gaze. exhibits one of the most nota-
ble events in Bible history-our Sa-
vior aud his disciples on the Sea of
Galilee. How grand, how ave-
inspiring are the reflections which
this subject invokes What sublim-
ity of faith is revealed to Us ia thl-
les-o1 frum the sacred wrhing-
The Savior rcbGkes the argry waves.
