heels on paradise and depart? Let us
have no equivocation here.
The Rector and the Bishop.
New York letter to the Hartford Cour-
ant: They are telling rather an anus
ing story of the good bishop. One of
his daughters applied recently for con-
firmation in n certain large and Hour
ishing evangelical church in this city.
The rector gave a number of names, in
GLIDING hers, TO one of his Jealous young
assistants, and babe him visit each cane
didate. The bishop lives in a handsom-
apartment up town, but the surround
ings did not deter the low church pastor.
He was going to fight the devil and his
works wherever he might find
them. The name suggested
nothing, for there are Potters and
Potters as well as Smiths and Smiths,
both common enough trades in the days
when a mans urname indicated his oc-
cupation. The candidate was not in but
her mother appeared. After an appro-
pirate conversation the young clergy
man said: "Where does your husband
attend church," "Well, he attends
none regularly" very bad, very
bad ~ said the minister severely. "This
habit OF running about is pernicious. Is
he a church communicate" Yes"
"Worse still; and what views does he
hold? Is he high Or low, or with a
broad upheaval of his somewhat narrow
chestl, is he a churchman?" All"
said the bishops wife, "indeed, sir, I do
not know; he is, however, the assistant
bishop of this diocese, to which, [ think,
you belong. You had better put the
question to him?"

husband and entered the college. The
groom went on to the theological SEM

groom telegraphed the girls parents
of the marriage. The preacher has

A New whisky Church.
A Christian church composed entirely
of whisky dealers would be a%novelty in
deed, yet that is the result that threat
| ems to come from a church row in Louis
vile, KY. Two of the wealthiest mem
bers of the First Christian church there
are whisky dealers and the church says
they must give up their business or
suffer dismissal from the society. The
whisky men of the city are very much
enraged, and declare hat if the church
carries out its threat they will organize
a church of their own Meantime, it is
| supposable, they are studying the scrip
lures with a view to finding some au-
thority for establishing a Christian
church on a foundation of sour mash. 1t
is not yet known whether they will
open a bar in the amer corner or pro-

But whichever way they work it they
ought to be able to attract n very large
congregation of men who are not in the
habit of attending divine services.-Ex-
