.BNd HIM Our. Here is q
story of revival meeting which
took place near Willoughby some
time ago, says the Cleveland Plain
Dealer. a certain worthy exhort-
er took the floor and started in on
an extended discourse. He talked,
and talked. Time was swallowed
up, other speakers were crowded
out, the audience was exhausted,
and still the exhorter talked on.
Pretty soon ho paused moment
to catch his breath, and then spread
ing out his hands he beloved forth:

Before he could get any further
