STRANGE Condolences II have read book
sometime or somewhere entitled "Remark.
ablen or Wonderful" Condolences,
which pleased me very much; but the one
which am about to relate occurred in oul
own State, not fifty miles from here. OF
which was an eye and ear-witness. In q
quiet village Of Rhode Island there lives an
Episcopal clergymen, who is the iustly-be
low ed of Ill his parish, rich and poor, high
and low, old and young. He has all the in
telligence and genial nature OF the Bishop,
with the culture OF Greer, and | was try
ing to name some clergyman in his diocese
to whom 1 might compare him in mo-
desty, but I cannot recall such an one.
But our friend, like many gifted men, is
sometimes little abSent-minded. Some
years ago, one Sunday morning, when
was attending at his church, after he had
read the service he went to the desk to COM
mence his discourse, and at once vanished
from the house. The congregation seemed
instinctiveiy to comprehend the situation.
He had forgotten his sermon. He shortly
returned with it in bis hand. Resumlng MS
desk, out Of breath, and opening the pre-
cious manuscript, he thus announced ms
text, Luke XIV, 6: " And when he cometh
home he calleth together his 1riends anu
neighbors, saying unto them, ReJo'ce WIFI
me; for I have found my sheep winch was
lost" I think there was smile on every
face in that church except the clergyman s.
