NOTHING SMALL
ABOUT The TINKER
Seedy looking Mender of
Umbrellas Proclaims
Himself the Deity.
DOES NOT REQUIRE FORMALITY
Says Name is Jesus Christ God, But
is Satisfied To Be Called
j. G. for Short.

Il am Jesus Christ God, J. c. God for
short"
The exclamation came from a seedy
looking individual, an umbrella mend
er by trade. who rose during the SER
vices in the Methodist church yester-
day morning and with signs and gesti-
culations tried to get an audience just
after the congregation had said Amen"
in answer to the prayer in which Rev.
Switzer lead.
The sudden appearance of this un-
sanctified looking being in a religious
gathering was more than had been an
nounced in the church columns on Sat
urday and there was a slight wave of
CONSERVATION among part of the audi
ence, which soon discovered the i'm
poster. The Rev. Switzer. paying less
attention to y. c." proceeded with
his services. which soon silenced the
interloper, but not until after he had
succeeded in rafting off a yard of
verses that were pretty we'll jumbled
up.
Not His First Appearance.
1t was not the first time that the
umbrella mender had appeared in the
Methodist church to profess his diety.
About a year ago he 'butted in" in the
same humble disguise, using, however,
the full name instead of the initials
when he tried TO reveal himself At
that time he made quite a disturbance
at the morning service and several
men tried TO throw him out. Fearing
that the spirit would work very strong
~ within him again in the evening two
police officials were detailed to attend
church at the late service, but it seems
the spirit was less strong in him in
the evening and the man thus escaped
being taken to the city bastile.
