The Boston Herald rises to remark
that the Bean capital has a queer gov
eminent because it objects to Mormon
sermons on the common and then
allows swearing, sacriligeous, anti
Christian spouter to hold forth on that
same patch of green grass. Possibly
the profane man was a stranger who
had tried to walk the crooked streets
of Boston without a guide and couldn't
find his way home. In that case he
might be pardoned in advance.

One Sunday the minister of small
northern country parish church had the
misfortune TO forget his sermon. and did
not discover his loss till he reached the
church. Suddenly an idea struck him.
He sent for John. the beadle, and in
structed him to give out the one hundred
and nineteenth Psalm Containing 176
verses, while he hurried home for his
sermon. On his journey back to church
he saw the faithful beadle standing at
the church door, waving his arms and
urging him to hurry. On reaching the
door he exclaimed: Are they all singing
yet, John?' Aye, sir" replied John,
they're at it. but they're cheepin'
like sparries."

BY WAY OF THANKS.

The Virginian-Pilo Is sincerely graf
flied at the appreciative recognition of
it's Twentieth Century Edition by Its
contemporaries, In and out of the State.
Certainly not less pleasing than the
praise of its own effonts were the many
kindly references to Norfolk in the no
tees of the edition. many of which. The
VirGtnian-Pllot has printed from day
to day. and some of which may have
been overlooked by inadvertence. If
the edition has served to attract the
attention of others to the truly mag
niiicent advantages and opportunities
of Norfolk. 1t has fulfilled its chief pur-
pose. In the production of paper OF
such magnitude 1T was, OF course,
necessary to employ special corps OF
writers. many of whom were unfa-
miliar with local history and condI-
tions. and naturally some errors crept
into the pages of the paper. while there
were some regre table omissions. On
the whole. however, we believe the
paper will be found n fairly full and
accurate exposition of Norfolks iusti-
tuuons and interests.
