little village on the outskirts Of the city, and
pays pew rent in the village church. BE is
the solitary occupant of the pew every Sun
day, none but strangers daring to enter it,
for he has an unpleasant way Of asking peo-
pie to step ont.
Last Sunday a brassy young man from
the city visited the village and went to
chusch. Having heard Of the descon's
peculiarities, this awful young man felt it
his duty to walk right into that particular
pew. When the deacon arrived he glared
at the young man and mononed 70 him to
step out Of the pew.

young man, as # unconscious cf the dea-

poses of that most dismal of all

The man who desires 10 become a
noted reviyalist should not cultivate
his mind but should cultivate the
habit of making rough remarks. Sam
Jones' success seems to lie in his lack
of learning. He has vigorous way
of telling people that if they do not
do as he says-do not believe as he
does, they will certainly drop into the
bosom of the awful lake. With an
uncompromising advocacy of this
idea, he has drawn many people to
his support. Why cultivated people
throw aside all attempt at thought
and willingly surrender to such an
arbitrary man is something we cannot
understand. Divest the man of {
certain kind of blunt and not partic'
ularly refined humor, and there re-
mains nothing calculated to hold al
audience. He is a kind of evangel
