"Down IN Oregon, l won't say
just where, there is q settlement
of Scotch Presbyterians, who re-
tain all their old country habits, "
said a globe trotter the other day.
"Not long ago the minister, while
in the midst of his sermon, MOTTO
ed one of his parishioners peace
fully sleeping. The divine sus-
pended his discourse and address
ed "Wullie" in a loud tone, wax
ing him up, and then gave him a
severe rebuke.
"Wullie was very angry and af-
ter services were concluded went
up to the pastor and made an IN
dignant speech, protesting
against the humiliation which
had been put upon him. He con.
cluded by saying;
"Your ain wife was sleepin' at
the time. ] saw her before
went to sleep mysel. "
"The pastor tried to smooth
the matter over, and told Wulhe
that if he should ever see the pas
tors wife sleeping in church
thereafter, TO raise his hand and
she should receive the same cor
rectou which had been imposed
upon Wullie,
'"phe next Sunday when the
sermon had reached about fourth
ly, Wullie's hand went up. The
minister looked over at his fam
lily pew, and there, sure enough,
his spouse was wrapped in slum-
ber Mindful of hls word, the
preacher thus addressed the wife
of his bosom
"Susan Susan | dlnna mar
