A PARTING SHOT.-A country min
lister in a certain town took perma
nent leave of his congregation in the
following pathetic manner: brothers
and sisters, I come to say goodby. I
don't think God loves this church,
because none of you ever die. I dom t
think you love each other, because ]
never marry any of you. I don't
think you love me, because you have
not paid my salary. Your donations
are rnoldy fruit and worlny apples,
and by their fruits ye shall know
them Brothers, am going away to
a better place. I have been called to
be chaplain of penitentiary. Where
go ye cannot come, but go to pre-
pare place for you; and may the
Lord have mercy on your souls.
Goodby."- Exchange.

together with a number of lady
friends, came over last Sunday to p1 ay

sidering that many of the players

this first game was not so bad.

on the prairie next Sunday afternoon.

clubs will be arranged to play the
