PORKER ROUTS MINISTER.
CONGREGATION AT BUNKER HILL
DISTURBED IN IT'S WORSHIP.
Hev. Ashlfn white Abandons His SER
mon After a MotherIy old Pig
Gets Caught Under Fence


From Bunker Hill comes the story
of how motherly old porker raised
tsr voice and disturbed the worship
of n congregation last Sunday, put
ting the minister to rout during his
sermon and bringing the services to
an abrupt close amid the smiles of
the elders and the audible smokers of
the irrepressible youngsters.
Rev. Ashlin White was conducting
the usual bi.weekly service in the
Presbyterian church at that village,
and had reached that point in his
sermon where the congregation was
held CLOSELY by his eloquence. Dur
ing one of the most impressive pas
sages of his sermon the calm air was
torn into fragments by the vociferous
squealing of a fat porker, which had
been caught in a gate just outside the
house of worship. vainly the minis.
ter strove to make himself heard
above the noise Of the pig, and more
loudly the squeals came floating
through the open windows. After an
effort lasting several minutes the
minister surrendered, loosely re-
marking that he had often had com
petition from CRYING babies. neiah-
ing horses and the like, but that 1t
was the first time he had ever found
himself in q similar contest with a
pig. The porker was released and
ambled off with erunt of relief.
