WOMAN IN TIE PULPIT.
Rev. Mr.. Lovcjoy He'd Grip. So Hts
wife Preached His Sermon.


The Rev. Mr. Lovejoy and his wife
Of st. Johns. Mich have been visiting
the Rev. Mr. WightInsn of Chester Hitl.
The pastorate of the First Congl pgG-
tional church is vacant, and the pulpit
is being supplied by applicants. Loarn-
ing of Mr.. Loveioy's presence in the
city, the committee on vacancies invited
him TO preach the sermon the other
Sunday, and the :1vitation was accept
ed With n desire TO mako favorable
impression, Mr.. Loveioy devoted him
self with unusual energy tG She prepa-
ration Of sermon The day before he
was seized with an attack of grip, and
the next morning his condition was so
serious that bis physician absolutely
forbade him to preach. Mr.. Lovejoy
felt greatly worried about breaking the
appointment His young wife finally
quieted him with the assurance that she
would arrange matters satisfactorily.
She then volunteered to the church
committee TO take her husband place
and was accepted.
The members did not know of the
change in the arrangement, and when
Mrs. Lovejoy took the pulpit and an
nounced the hymn they were greatly
surprised. After the singing Deacon
Samuel White explained the situation
Mrs. .Lovejoy told the congregation of
her husbands illness and said she had
taken his manuscript and would deliver
his sermon in order that they should
not be disappointed. Then she knelt
and led them in prayer The sermon
| was from the text, "For this is the vic.
| tory that overcometh the world-even
our faith. It was an excellent dis.
course, and the pure. sweet voice Of the
minister's wife gave it additional force
and attraction. Mrs Lovojoy showed
herself to be u woman Of considerable
elocutionary ability.
After the services many of the con
gregation complimented Mrs Lovejoy
highly for her effort. Mrs. Lovejoy
spoke of her performance modestly. Sh,
said that it was her first effort and thai
she was induced to attempt it rather
than to have her husband worry abou
the breaking of his engagement Il dc

woman, but l do think that wifi,

Joy is about 80 years old. Before sh,

Senator Vest Of Missouri ia growing

telltale furrows Of time. bat he is as
fond of music as he was in the days
"befo' de wah, when he used to sit in
the cabin Of a side wheel steamboat on
the Mississippi and listen to the dGrkies
sing old fashioned melodies to the music
Of the banjo. AS he glides slowly down
the hill of life's journey, however, the
senator's taste for music has been per
verted. He no longer likes TO have his
ears ticlsled with string OF brass music,
but his particular delight is to hear the
elevator bell jingle
The writer had occasion to enter the
senate elevator at the basement floor a
few days ago, and when the door was
shut and the cage shot upward the lit
tie silver bell attached TO the annunci-
ator began to ring. The lift stopped at
the first floor, took on couple Of pas
sengers. halted at the second floor, more
human freight walked in, and at the
third floor another man entered. Mean
while the bell rang necessarily, the
conductor clicked the annunciator and
the fourth floor figure dropped down
again.
The passengers were much amused,
and some were surprised that the man
at the top of the shaft did not release
the button. Turning around, the eleva-
tor man grinned as he said, That

the fourth floor hove in sight, there
stood the senator, still pushing the but
ton. He seemed to enjoy the music Of
the bell
