Secondhand Sermons.

A brisk trade, so it is stated by d church contemporary, is driven in the supply of secondhand sermons to young clerics. Should these clerics de- cline to deal further with the vendors. the latter threaten to bring the matter before their superiors. Because of these threats, it is alleged that many clergymen prefer to pay any sum that may be demanded from them in man Ter which practically amounts to black mailing. It seems that the usual clerical name for these purchased dis courses is "cat's-meat sermons;" they are sent in carefully concealed envel- opes, and they are suited to all tastes and occasions First" sermons and "farewell'' ones are equally kept in stock. The writer, who warns the clergy against these cat's-meat produc- tions, says that congregations find you out ill month. ."-Pearson's Week ly.

imperfect knowledge OF the national game,
and, wishing TO learn something Of IL, l
resolved TO read reports OF games this

few games for my instruction, and later
my amusement l began my reading with
this report OF the second game between

whether Mr.. Farrell had brought his
