Col. Clepmore, editor Of the Dali

Sunday, and broke his leg. Rev
Mr.. Gidfelt heard of the accident,
and, in his Sunday sermon, took
occasion to say
Here we have a striking ex-

violation of the Sabbath. If Col.

broken his leg"
The following Sunday, as Rev.
Mr.. Gidfelt was ascending the steps
of the pulpit he stepped on a piece
of orange peel dropped by a child
of the Sunday school, slipped, fell,
and broke his leg. The next issue
OF the Blue Wing contained the
following:
