which a dissenting minister, who was In ao-

without occasion, by lapse Of memory. He
went through an entire pulpit service on
certain sunday morning vita the most perfect
consistency. his choice OF hymns and Lessons

Tue SUBJECT OF his sermon. On the following
sunday morning he went through the intro
ductory part OF the service In precisely the
same manner, giving out the same hymns
Teadlng the same lessons, and directing the
extempore prayer In the same channel He then
gave out the same text, and preached the very
same sermon as he had done on the previous
sunday: When he came down from the pulpit
IL was FOUND that he had not the smallest re
memorance or having gone through precisely
Che same service on the previous Sunday, and
When he was assured OF 1t he felt considerable
uneaSlnesS lest his lapse OF memory Should
