A ScorcHMAN who had CONC back to
his country after long absence, de- !
clared, after going to the kirk, that tho
whole kingdom was on The road to perdi-
tion. "The people," he said, " used to
be reserved and solemn on the Sabbath,

as on any other" W. 81
A MINISTER was once engaged to
preach to his Sunday School, but after
! the little people were all placed before
him in order. he told them that some of
them might be weary and. want to 90
out before he had finished, so he would
rather have anywho fancied they would
like to 90. to do 30 now. and then no one
would be disturbed. For n moment all
sat still; then one little fellow took his
hat and went down the aisle; another
and another followed, until not a child
was left. ,..l.s, 1855.
