the ecccntricities Of ministers are

"the shortest sermon on record"
His subject was "Racksiding," and
what might be called the body of
the sermon consisted in his climbing
up a smooth sapling with great
pains and difficulty and the sliding
down again. An immense concourse
of people had assembled to hear
him, and great was their nstonish-
ment at witnessing this perform
ance. The only words uttered by
the preacher on the occasion were,
"Hold on there, Dow; hold on"
Then he slid down again, put On his
hat and left.
