had dined with friend just before after
noon service As II happened, this
friend occasionally luxuriated in a smile

morocco covered flask in his oyercoat
pocket.
BY mistake the minister took the
friends oyercoat for his own on his do
parture, and, walking into tho pulpit,
began the exercises without doiiing the
garment, 1t being rather chilly IN the
room.
Looking very ministerally over his
congregation from behind his specta-
cles, lac began drawing from his pocket,
rs he supposed his hymn book, with
the Introductory remark that the con
gregation would sing from particular
page which be had selected beforehand.
The minister held the supposed book
up in full sight Of the congregation. and
attempted to open it sideways, but it
was no 90,
