AN AWFUL CHANGE.
Preacher Looked for Dove and
BeheId a Cat.

Maj. Shattuck of the Signal Corps
tells an amusing story of an Old-time
religious rivival' meeting at negro
church near Savannah, says the Kan
sas City Journal.
In order that the revival spirit might
be quickened it was arranged that the
preacher should give signal when he
thought the excitement was highest
and from the attic, through hole cut
in the sealing directly over the pulpit
the sexton was to shove down a pure
white dove, whose fight around the
church and over the heads of the
audience was expected to have an in
spring effect and as far as emotional
excitement was concerned, to cap the
climax.
All went well at the start; the
church was packed; the preachers
text was I'm the form of dove" and
as he piled up his eloquent periods the
excitement was strong. Then the
opportune moment arrieved-the sig
nal was given-aud the packed audi
ence was scared out OF its wits on look
ing up to the sealing and beholding a
cat, with a clothes line around its
middle, yawling and splitting, being
slowly lowered over the preachers
head. The preacher called out to the
sexton in the attic: "Wbar's the
doye?" And the sections voice came
down through the opening so you
could hear it a block: "Inside the
cat "
