Preaching Under Difficulties,

A curious case OF the pursuit of
preaching under difficulties came I'M
der my notice. In a country church
in the remote districts OF the West of
England a swarm OF bees had taken
lup their quarters in the oaken wood
work at the back of the pulpit, to the
tdismay and discomfort of the weekly
.occupant<of that structure. During
the discharge OF his peculiar function
he was not only annoyed with the
busy, sullen roar OF the hive, but his
fear of arousing their animosity by
the loud challenge OF his tones, or by
the vibration OF the pulpit. was stimu-
la ted by the light sklrmishers which
used to come out and perform all
sorts OF minatory mannuvres within
measurable distance OF his nose.
The annoyance at length became in
tolerable, and orders were given to
smoke out the bees. This was affect
ually done; but, unfortunately, the.
clerk In smoking out the bees set fire
to the church, and is was burned to
the ground. -Chanlbers. Journal.
