ACTION SUITED 70 THE WORD.

How tho Electric Light Man Nearly Broke
Up IN Eastern Congregation.
A church society of the st. lard
grade, not many miles from the New
ton, has completed q handsome and
commodious house of worship, says the
Boston Herald. The society has occu-
pied its house but . few times, but
long enough to find it nice in every
way, except that when the full force
Of the electric lights is turned on it
makes disagrseable glare for the full
services of q Sunday evening. So tho
head of the building committee talked
with the pastor and some of the lead
ers, and they decided that it would be
practical and best to turn of the
switches controlling the side lights
during the body of the services, but to
have them on during the coming in
and the singing, and then during the
benediction and the going out of the
church ct the close. This plan wae
tried for the first time Sunday evening.
The man 1T the switches was little
new, but he thought he could manage
it. Tho Introductory hymn was over,
and the pastor arose in his place and
began: II am the light of the world"
Out went the side lights, leaving the
worthy clergyman in flood of rsdi.
ance from the lights just behind him.
His hearers smiled, some even Uttered.
The pastor himself scarcely carried .
sober face through oil the services.
The end of the meeting was near. and
oil the congregation noticed how much
better it was to have the electric lights
shine only on their eight of the
world" It was about time to pass the
boxes. That must be done in . full
Light. The deacons and the ushers
were ready with their long handled
collectors. The clergyman read: Let
your lights 20 shine" On went the
full force Of the electric side lights.
Then the audience would have actually
laughed out loud only it was altogether
too light
