this reason he eXcelled in theatrical por-

Municipal Intolerance to Spanish Mules.
A bishops coachman must not swear,
especially when he is on the box and
the bishop inside. There is a certain
place in Spain called Corrales. 1t is in
the province and diocese Of Zamora, and
the bishop of Zamora recently went in
his coach and four (but they were
mules) to hold a confirmation at Cor
rales. When the children of the diocese
were duly confirmed, the mules, being
confirmed already in stubbornness and
original sin, refused to start and backed
the carriage with the bishop inside it
against the churchyard gate, thereby
making a breach in the sanctuary of the
churchyard wall. At this point the
coaohman is reported to have uttered
one of these t~hunderous Spanish curses
in which the language of Spain is 80
infinitely superior to the language of
France and which even a bishop must
feel has the dignity of power. Unfor-
tunately for himself, the mayor of Cor
rales, Senior Tome, had just taken
leave of the bishop and was standing by
the carriage when the word reached
him. He sprang forward and fined the
coachman 4 pesetas on the spot for
blasphemy and proclamation, for in
Spain the mayor carries the court with
him wherever he goes. The bishop also
got out and dismissed the b~lasphemer
on the spot. Then the mayor got on the
box and himself drove monsignore back
to his episcopal residence. The con
irmation has ever since been known by
a title which may be freely translated

A Way Out For All.


In the way of practical relief for all
disadvantages and all woes the only
voice that is worth listening to on this
subject is the voice of Christianity,
which is the voice of Almighty God.
Whether 1 have mentioned the partic-
ular disadvantage under which you la
Dor or not, I distinctly declare, in the
name of my God, that here is a way
out and a way up for all of you. You
cannot be any worse off than that
Christian young woman who was in
the Pemberton mills when they fell
some years ago, and from under the
fallen timbers she was heard singing,
II am going home to die no more"
Take good courage from that Bible,
all of whose promises are for those in
bad predicament. There are better days
for you, either On earth or in heaven.
l put my hand under your chin and
lift your face into the light of the COM
ing dawn. Have God ON your side, and
then you have for reserve troops all the
armies of heaven, the smallest compa-
ny of which is 20, 900 chariots and the
smallest brigade 144, 900, the lightnines
OF heaven their drawn sword.
An ancient warrior saw an overpow-
ering host come down upon his small
company of armed men, and mounting
his horse he threw a handful of sand in
the air, crying. "Let their faces be COW
cred with confusion" And both armies
heard his voice, and history says it
seemed as though the dust thrown in
the air had become SO many angels of
supernatural deliverance, and the
weak oyercame the mighty, and the
immense host fell back, and the small
number marched on. Have faith in
God, and, though all the allied forces of
discouragement seem to come against
you in battle array and their laugh of
defiance and contempt resounds through
all the valleys and mountains, you
might by faith in God and importunate
prayer pick up a handful of the very
dust of your humiliation and throw it
into the air, and it shall become angels
Of victory over all the armies of earth
and hell. The voices of your adversa-
ries, human and satanic, shall be cover
ed with confusion, while you shall be
not only conqueror, but more than con
queror, through that grace which has
SO often made the fallen helmet of an
overthrown antagonist the footstool of
aChristian victory. AtNH SCR ~ &
