such a superhuman air of sagacity, that L
felt like one of those open-breasted clocks
which make no secret of their inside ar

see through me as one sees through a

greenish brown color, with his naked eye,
with corrugation of forehead and fearful
concentration of attention then through

drew back a space, for a perspective view.
Then he made me put out my tongue and
laid q strip of blue paper on it which turn

took my wrist, but instead of counting my
pulse in the old-fashioned way, he fasten-
ed a machine to it that marked all the

me all sorts of questions about myself and

subject to this and that malady, until I
felt if we must some of us have had more
or less of them, and could not feel quite
sure whether elephants and beriberi and

Pulpit Peculiarities.

The following extracts are taken from
"Salad for the Solitary and Social" a re-
cent work
"A parson,n, writes George Herbert, sis
the deputy of Christ for the reducing of
man TO the obedience of Cod He furth-
er quantity adds "His apparel is plain,
but reverend and clean without spots or
dust; the purity of his mind breaking out
and dilating itself, even TO his body, clothes
and habitation." This remark of Herbert
probably originated the saying that
cleanliness is next TO goodness" which
has been ascribed to John Wesley.
Among the early Christians the modern
style of preaching was reversed the
preacher generally delivered his exhorta-
ton in sitting posture, while the congre-
CATION heard him standing. Chrysostem
preached in this manner.
1t is related even of Constantine the
Great that lie did not resume his seat dur
ing long sermon by Eusebius, and that
all the assembly followed his example.
The old English name, parson, is sup
posed TO be a corruption of person, the per-
sOn-by eminence. Fuller remarks that
the Scripture give four names to Chris
tians, taken from the four cardinal graces
Saints, for their holiness /; believers, for
their faith brethren, for their love dis
ciples, for their knowledge.
The clergy were originally styled clerks,
from the Norman custom of their Judges
being chosen from the sacred order. In
the first century they were distinguished
by the titles of presbyters and bishops.
Church music is supposed TO have been
first introduced by Gregory the Great, A.
D. COZ. Church steeples were originally
parochial fortresses.
Syney Smith thus defines the object OF
preaching at is constantly to remind
mankind of what mankind is constantly
forgetting not to supply the defects o.
human intelligence, but to fortify the fee
bleness of human resolutions to recall
mankind from the bypaths where they
turn, into the path of salvation, which al
know, but few tread"
