changing seasons. The custom has now
become national and hallowed by immc-
mortal usage. We live in easier and more

express their thankfulncss for the album

NOT AFRAID, BUT ASHAMED.


The Late Bishop Peck, Of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, once found
himself in an awkward position, which
a writer in the Boston Herald de-
scribes.
While presiding at session Of the
New Hampshire Conference he was en-
tertained by Mrs. Brown, who had
q high reputation as cook. She was
especially famous for her mince pies,
and at supper the bishop, who enjoy
ed good living as his strong frame
and three hundred pounds indicated,
did full justice to large piece Of the
delicious pastry.
MAY / give you another piece?"
asked Mrs. Brown.
AS the bishop was to make the chief
address of the evening, he regretfully
declined.
II know some mince pies are indi-
gestible, but mine are quite harm
less" said Mrs. Brown, persuasively.
So the bishop yielded, and had a Sec
ond piece, and after that third.
Evening came, and the large church
was packed with people. The hour for
service arrived, but the bishop had
not appeared. The elders looked anx-
ious. The choir sang, and the prelim-
mary services were well started; then
two or three went out to look for the
absent bishop.
They found him at Mrs Browns
writing in the agonies of indiges-
ton, resulting from indiscreet indul-
gence in Harmless" pie. AS the min
listers saw their well-loved bishop lying
in his bed and grooming with pain, one
of them said:
