SERMONS TO THE pUR1TANs.
The Early scttHcrs Thought Them selves SIiShted If the Preaching
 .A Was Not Long Enough.

At~Lorimer hall, Fremont Temple, at B. recentsmonthly meeting of the Congressional club, Leon H. Vincent pit" giving a history of the Mather family and their habits, says the Bos- ton Herald.
 He said the Puritans were always craving for learning and wisdom, and that they had no sooner landed in America than they began making books. The continual studiousness of the Puritans, said MT. Vincent, is what makes New England to-day the great hive of books and authors. Besides studying, the Puritans spent their spare time in perse cutting heretics and drinking strong drinks, but the only habit of the three that has clung to their descendants is that of reading.
 The sermons were long-winded, and in an hour the minister usually only got started. An old record says: "Mr. Hooker preached two hours and 1T minutes while not feeling we'll" How long he would have talked if he was in good health! A Harvard student wrote of minister that preached to the students: "He preached two hours, and, much to our regret, he had to stop" The people paid to hear ser mons on the tacit condition that the preacher would speak a certain length of time. The audience would look at ,, the sandglass to see that they got their moneys worth.
 MT. Vincent said Cotton Mather was probably the smartest boy in the family, and at the age of IS he had received his degree from his own father, Richard, president of Harvard. The subject of his thesis was Hebrew Vowel Points Are Divine in Origin. :" People in those days did not consider lasts as great hardships. At one fast certain men prayed Q number of hours, and then biscuits were distributed and three different kinds of liquor were l drunk. Cotton Mather went fishing one. day and fell into shallow water. Mather was superstitious, and as soon as he got out of the water he cried, My God help me to know what is the meaning of all this!" He spent three ! days in his room trying to make bis peace with God
