The dignity OF n certain Sunday

other day before the scholars and
teachers were well out of town. II
was arranged that the majority
of the scholars should 90 to the
grove on n trolley ear, and that the
pastor Of the flock, several teachers

wagon hired for the occasion.
This suggestion was followed out,
and the procession started auspi-

saw what made them fear to look
again. The pastor was sitting on the
seat beside the driver, his broad
brimmed hat on his knee, his head
on the support OF a gaudy yellow
umbrella that shaded the seat, and
on the umbrella was the inscription:
