TURKEY IN CHURCH.
Stories Of Amusing Experiences Told by
Clergymen.


Although the average person would
scarcely look for humor in church services,
ludlcrous incidents arise now n again
which make it an extremely difficult matter
for the officiating olergymen to preserve
the solemnity Of the occasion and maintain
a diRnihed o~ountenance. How many men,
for instance. could nave successfully re-
sisted the impulse to laugh outright IL
placed in the circumstances related by a
clerical correspondent OF the Church Family
Newspaper!
This correspondent tells how he had
just commenced taking service one Sunday
In q village In southern Manitoba, when
on looking down the aisle he saw TO his
CONSERVATION that q turkey had strayed
into the church. 'The novelty Of the
situation filed me with an almost uncon-
trollable desire TO laugh" the minister
continues: so partly on this account /
resolved to ask the church warden TO eject
the intruder. But before ! could do 80
a dog appeared and seated himself just
inside the door. Visions Of a turkey-dog
souabble forced me to abondon ideas Of
offensive operations.
MEANWHILE, it must be admitted, the
turkey was behaving itself most ~devoutly,
except that when the congregation stood

by protruding its feathers and stretching
upward it's neck TO the furthest limit.
Imagine the difficulty. Of preaching before
that bird and maintaining ones equilibrium,
especially when we sang Happy Birds
That Sing and Fly Fortunately the turkey
did not take the hint, but remained quietly
seated on the floor to the end OF the service,
when IL walked out with the people.
According TO the came paper, the Rev. W
Darlington, formerly vicar Of Christ Church,
West Bromwich. and TO- in New Zealand,
was preaching In q strange church one
Sunday evening. While he was having
supper at the vicarage afterward q ring
came at the bell. n maid entered and
said: please, sir, there iB a man at the door
who says he wants TO speak to the preacher.
The clergyman. thinking he was going &c
interview some one who had been touched
by something he had said in his sermon,
got I'D with alacrity and went INTO the hall
Here he saw a tall, powerful looking man.
swell my man, what can l do for you?'
sWell, sor, / was thinking while wac a-lis.
tening to yer preaching as how you might
have q pair Of trousers as would fit me.
Both were over six feet in height.
Wedding ceremonies are often attended
by amusing incidents. The following ID
told OF a small village church. The father
of the bride, O simple villager. came TO give
! her away, dressed in long black frock coat
and with a tall hat. When the clergyman
put the question. who giveth this woman
I to be married to this mann the poor father
was lost for the moment. but recovering
himself, he touched his forelock and said

harmony of theAwhole design were fathered
by men high In the business, professional
and Official world.
TAKE the plan TO cut on a strip Of the
west side OF the park for q speedway; This
was backed by some Of the wealthiest
men In the city. and their influence was
Buftciently strong TO secure the approval
Of the scheme by the park board, although
it was pointed out that tho making ofsuoh
a drive would ruin the beauty Of the park
forever. II was only after the public had
been aroused TO the enormity OF the proposed
crime that the Legislature passed q law
%forbidding the cutting through Of the
speedway In the park.

Fifty-ninth street TO 10th street was also
favored by many rich and influential people,
among them ON Of the owners OF private
houses along the line, who didn't care a
rap for the old brown wall or whether
the beauty Of the design Of the park as a
whole was spoiled forever. They simply
wanted a broader street without cost to

OF course, looked to- the park 70 get 1t.

There 10 no end to the schemes that
have been invented and pushed to subordi-
nate the beauty OF the park to the unitarian.
Tot can't driye 1t into the heads Of some
men that the best thing to do is to let the
park alone. .
'Once a school commissions proposed
to take one OF theb beautiful meadows on the
West Side where the sheep used to Craze
and tuIn its grass covered surface into a
huge profile map Of h world 30 that the
pupils OF the public schools could study
geography from 1t. Another school COM

meadow on which to raise wheat, corn. oats
and the like In order that the poor children
