"I once attended church at Whalley,
little village on the borders of Lam
cashsire and Yorkshire, in England.
The church. which had been a part of
the old abbey was built in the year
1866 and is today one of the most in
teresting sacred edifices in Great Brit
ain. The rector was a Mr. Whitaker,
very old, very stout and very deaf.
lie had occupied the living for thirty
years and while he generally appeared
in church and took some part in the
services, ne was able to afford the
luxury of a curate and was always
glad to secure the services of a friend
to preach On one occasion a gem
tleman / knew very we'll was to off,
ciate. 1t was his custom to limit his
sermon to twenty minutes, preaching
ex tempore, and always took out his
watch and his pocket handkerchief,
placing them beside him before COM
menclng. This he did as usual, and,
finding a very convenient little round
receptacle, stuffed his handkerchief
into it, laid the watch on top and
fired away.
The congregation was surprised to
see the old rector, who was sitting at
the bottom desk of the three decker
erection, which l suppose still stands
right in the center and half way down
the aisle-not in the chancel, as in
the modern Churches-beCome very un-
easy in his seat. He squirmed around
and looked up, though every one
knew quite we'll that he could not
hear a word of the sermon. Finally
he beckoned TO the black -gowned old
verger, who carried long wand and
whispered to him. The verger as
cended the pulpit, and in turn inter-
rupted the sermon by a whispered
conversation with the preacher, who
was seen to suddely grasp his pocket
handkerchief and watch, smile and
nod, and then proceeded with his SER
mon. He had filled the receiver OF the
old rectors ear trumpet, which con-
nected with a tube to the lower desk,
and the rector had been unable to
tell whether any sermon was going
on or not"
