| A young woman in a Maine town, whit
recently played cards for three hours on
evening, died the next day, and lOca
clergyman took the in ,ident as text fO
a sermon in which he declared that he
death was judgment sent by God to in
dicate His condemnation Of card playing
But the next week man dropped deaf
while carrying food to starving family
and his sudden death was declared to b,
an evidence that God approved Of his er
rand Of mercy and therefore took hin
home.
Recently minister was heard to re
mark that newspaper that told tn,
truth could not be a success. The min
lister who at all times and under all cir
cumstances tells the whole truth abOu
members Of his congregation, alive O.
dead, might not occupy the pulpit NOR,
than one Sunday and in some case
might find it convenient to ssleave town
The press and pulpit go hand in hanC
with a whitewash brush and with pleas
ant words magnify little virtues int
large ones. The pulpit, the press an(
the gravestones are the saint making tri
umvirate.
