MINISTERIAL DONATIONS.
Now Is the time when donations and miuiste-
rial surprises are rifo in the country. Tho most
frequent form OF the ministerial donation now
il such AZ will most efectuallJ astonish the pas-
tor and his good wife. The spiritual guide il
generally invited with bis family to neighbor's
house, and while there h large part Of his flock
commit burglary upon the parsonage, the radical
difference between them aud professional honae-
breakers being that the former leare the house
richer than before they entered. Tho potato
bin is filled; barrel Of flour ia rolled into tbs
larder; ditto barrel OF apples; turkey and
brace of chickens ire left en- the table; and,
finally, little moLey il given to the pastor,
and q nice cloak to his wife, who are made to
appear just as the burglars get .hings nicely
fixed.
Another popular method il for Soma good
mother in Is1ael to 70 over to the pastors house,
knitting on haii-fnished stocking, to be sure
The good people OF the houss are at home. Then
the parish people con.riye conspiracy, the de-
tails OF which require that they shall arrive at
the pastors housa seriAtim, bringing ther bun.
dies with them. The house is soon filed with
chatterlng pesp1e who enjoy the excitement of
the pastor and his family ueder the sudden and
unlooked-for excitement.
These donations are certainly great improve
