HuMoR IN TEXT OF CLERGY.
Amusing Remarks Which Were Most
Seriously INTENDED.


Part of the humor which ole occa-
siona!ly meets with. even in the sedate
Enclosure of the pulpit, is due to the
queer texts which are sometimes
ten Onsciously-chosen by preach
erS- No doubt there are many stories
told under this head which owe their
origin not to actual fact so much as
to the invention of the wog. For ex-
ample, a minister on the SunaNy ue-
fore his marriage is said to have chos
en- as his text. and he went OH his
way rejoicing" and on the Sunday
after his honeymoon to have eloquent
ly dlscoursed on the words. ''Remember
my bonds"
These instances are. probably apoc-
ryphal. but the following are true and
have all con o within the experience OF
the writer was in the north of En-
gland that he first incident happened.
1t was a country church where oil
lamps were used instead of gas. One
night in the late summer when the
lamps had not yet been resumed after
the long days it got suddenly overcast
and before the sermon il was deemed
necessary to light the pulpit lamp
During the hymn, the old sexton re-
paired to the pulpit, and, having cleaned
the glass chimney with buster, lit it
up, but only a feeble light struggled
through. And then the clergyman took
his text, which was this: And now
we see through a glass darby"
\ few years ago well-known bishop
married his second wife. and, return
ing home after his honeymoon. an
of the series being "l.ie Penitents Re
turn This was obviously uninten-
tlonal.
There is a church in one of our large
cities which boasts of very high pull
pit. \ short time ago strange preach
er who was of a,neryous temperament
occupied" this pulpit, but. as the Sc
quel will show, only for Il very short
time. for, having taken his text and
said about a dozen words, he startled
the congregation by saying: las | am
not used 10 pulpits as high as this you
viii pardon me. | know. If come
down and preach my sermon from the
lectern.' He suited his action to the
words and preached a Tery good ser
mon from the modest Iectern. And
this was his strangely appropriate text:
He teat exalteth himself shall be
abused, and he that humbleth himself
shall be exalted
One more inS ancc: Not many
months ago a clergyman preached one
Sunday evening from the text, My
words shall not pass away" Exactly
fortnight later the same clergyman
preached the same sermon from the
same text in the same church, to the
wonderment of practically the same
congregation. Evidently it was his
determination that at any rate his
words should not pass away from the
memory of his hearers.
