liver a startling sermon. He had

pulpit. In the lads keeping was en-
trusted a pigeon, which was to be let
loose in the church from convenient
hole at the proper moment. The
church was packed, and the preacher
having stormed announcement raised
his voice and cried: And the Holy
Ghost descended in the form OF a
dove" bat no dove appeared. He re-
peated his sentence, and still no dove.
