PARSONS IBID" TO DINNER.
Absence Of Invitation to Neal Causes
Minister to Adopt Unique
Method.

A Springfield (Mass.) clergyman is
telling story Of his last vacation which
is probably better appreciated by his fell
lows who have served the Lord in the
villages than by those members. of the
profession who have ministered only to
city charges, says the Boston Globe.
Il took over pulpit in little coun-
try town about 20 miles from. here" he
says, conducted the services to an end,
then waited for the usual invitation to
dinner. Because of some reason it did
not come. I was hungry as a bear, so
finally in desperation, I approached a
prosperous looking farmer whom I
had met before the service and said:
Brother won't you come home with
me to dinner Gladly, parson,' he an
swered, where do you liver About 20
miles from here answered as airily as
possible. For one moment he looked
dumfounded, then he saw the fun of the
situation, and his hard old face broke
into thousand wrinkles as he grasped
my hand and said: 'Parson, let's go
over to my house for dinner. It's heap
nearer than yourn.'"

"In these days of adulteration moth
