AN AMUSING incident occurred Sunday
morning during the service at one of
our prominent churches in the city. A
very corpulent individual of the mascu-
line gender entered the church, and seated
himself prominently in pew
in the auditorium. During the
progress of the service, becom-
ing heated, he rose from his seat, and in at
tempting to remove his overcoat, pulled off
his undercoat and vest, leaving himself
in his neither garments before q large con-
course of people. OF course there was an
immense effort at suppressed laughter, but
it cropped out sufficiently to greatly en-
barrass the visitor. His efforts to replace
his garments in as brief time as possible
were as amusing as they were ludicrous.
