The people are unfamiliar With any bat the plainest and most simple church service and entirely un- accustomed to the vostments which the Episcopal clergy wear. The pastor of the "only church, a good, conscientious. narrow minded man, hearing that the bishop was coming on a certain Sun- day to preach at the courthouse, told some of the "pillars' of his congrega. ton that he hoped they would not de- sert their own church to hear the Episcopal service. On the appointed Sunday what was the pastors surprise to notice half of his flock absent, au7 upon inquiry he learned that the cour. house WAS thronged with the villag. CTS. The next day he met one of his chief supporters, whose accustomed seat had been vacant as the weekly service, and tEe pastor questioned him as to his whereabouts on Sunday.
