ssIn a Detroit Methodist church is deaf
lady who in order to hear the serman has
a speaking tube and ear-piece in the pew,
connected with the pulpit by pipe running
under the door. The pulpit end terminates
in funnel-shaped attachment extending
downward from the desk, and covered with
sort of grating or perforated disc. The
pastor recently had an English preacher to
assist him, and the Englishman thought
this hearing arrangement was a hot-air reg
lister. He imagined he felt it, and got
warmer and warmer, till he couldn't stand
it, and clapped the iBible over the Thing.
The old lady, of course, didn't hear any
more of his sermon and after services
he said to the pastor "Doctor, you will
kill yourself in that pulpit. Such current
of hot air constantly arising in your face
must be exceedingly prejudicial to health.
What wonderfully curious people you
Americans are in your methods of heating"
