Ping-Pong Prevents Prayer.
From the London Telegraph.

FROM the London Telegraph.
Ping-pong has now become a factor in
ecclesiastical polity. It has secured for it
self the denunciation of the bishop of Man
chester. and has deprived the British army
now fighting in South Africa Of weekly
modicum Of prayer. In an Essex village
a custom has been in existence for over a
year Of holding a special service every
Wednesday afternoon, at which supplica-
tons were earnestly offered for our SOL
diers. This week young lady who has
been a regular attendant at these meet
ings went to the church at the usual hour
and was surprised to find the portals
closed. She asked the caretaker, whom she
net not far off, why this was SO, and the
old dame replied in establishment: "Oh,
we amt got no prayers this afternoon,
miss. Why, don't YOU know, this is the
opening day Of the ping-pong club?"
Sure enough. the rector and his wife and
the usual Wednesday worshipers had for
saken their prisons to play the fashionable
game. which has invaded country villages
with unprecedented fury. 1t IS announced,
however, that at the club ping-pong play
ing will be suspended during holy week.
