who delivered a remarkably eloquent
Sermon" said the travelling man,
according to the Philadelphia Times.
"Just as the minister was in his

off his spectacles, and In q voice Of

there were many young men present
in that part Of the edihce. I did not
notice the least conversation.
"Not long ago. the same preacher
was invited to Philadelphia TO preach
on a special occasion. i went again
to hear him. To my surprise. he took
the same text and delivered the, Same
sermon. I was more than surprised.

him remove his spectacles and give
expression to the same rebuke in ex-

done in New York. could not help
arriving at the conclusion that he had
q place marked somewhere In his
manuscript for administering a re-

to attract particular attention to
something he was about to utter"
