I'm the very shadow OF the sacred ediiice,
a gang of goddess boys were engaged IN a
game of marbles.
The old minister alighted from his horse
and entered the church with a sad cOun-
tenance. Eliminating upon tho wicked
WAYS OF that part OF the world. He
found about six persons waiting 10 near
him preach. Slowly ascending the pulpit
no thus addressed them:
