ga strange thing happened last

Bible he said. we had a strange
minister preaching here and when
he opened the book he came upon
a notice and read it out with all due
solemnity.
cit was a request for the congre-
cations sympathy and prayers for
John Q. Griggs, who had been deep
ly afflicted by the loss of his wife
"The sexton paused and chuckIed
softly.
"'You see, SIR he said, our regu-
