He Liked to Preach.

A Scotch minister tells of an old
fashioned brother of the church who
insisted on preaching two long ser
mons every Sunday. This feature in
his character he exhibited in the winter
months to very trying extent Dur
ing the rest of the year there were two
services, at II and 2 o'clock, separated
by an interval of an hour or more. but
when the days were short, as many of
his congregation came from considera-
BILE distances, it was desirable that
they should be able to reach their
homes before it was dark. But 1t was
not only desirable. but imperative. that
they should have two sermons. This
was accomplished by having only one
meeting. beginning at IL O'Clock, and
doing away with the interval. There
were then two sermons separated by
the singing of a short psalm. ~
