Talmage on the Bicycle.

Certainly ministers should ride If they
want to- says DR.. Talmage. "As FOR
dignity, 1 don't see how they can lose any
of it ON o wheel; but if they do, why, it 5
not much loss, any. way. l have seen min
listers of the gospel on bicycles in high
silk hats and Prince Albert coats, their
coat tails flying behind them People Cn
the sidewalks laughed because 1t seemed
a little ludiCrous; but what of it? If a
minister, by riding wheel in that fashion
can make people laugh, which means max
ing them forget their troubles for a very
short time, why, then, that minister has
done a good and charitable action. He
has been far more righteous than if he
had kept his dignity and lost the oppor
tunity OF making people laugh. Let tht
clergy wheel away, l say. l would like
to Join them if could keep with the pro
cession But could not. l should fall. -
