Wasted Oratory.

A young eurate who had recently
church where the vicar was extremely
energetic, so much so that when he
had been there six months he had new
er had a chance Of preaching. This.
he thought. was very hard lines. as he
felt sure that he had the making OF
a great orator in him. One day, how
ever, his vicar told him that there
would be q child to christen the next
Sunday afternoon, and that as he the
vicar) would be engaged elsewhere, 1t
would be left to the curate to conduct
the service. Now" he thought 70
himself, "if I am not allowed to preach,
/ will at least avail myself OF this op-
portunity to let some portion OF the
congregation know what my oratorical
powers are"
The eventful afternoon arrived; the
child's father, mother, uncles and
aunts, godfather and godmother stood
round the font. The service went very
we'll until he had to take the child In
his arms. He took hold Of 1t as II II
were a torpedo, and then delivered
himself Of this grafton:
my dear brethren, before 1 proceed
to christen this child / woulS like TO
address a few words to the sponsors
as to its future welfare. 1t is an old
saying and a true one that the cnlio
is father to the man. Now, this IN
FAINT / hold in my arms may, II prop
erly trained, rise to great eminence.
He might one day, II well brought up
get into parliament and become sec
ond Balfour or Campbell-Bannerman,
and pass such laws as would De OF
benefit to the whole British empire;
or. again, he might become a great
soldier and emulate the deeds OF kitch-
ener or Lord Roberts. Should ne go
into the church he might eventually
become archbishop Of Canterbury or q
great missionary, and be the means OF
converting thousands Of souls.
"If he enter the medical profession,
why should he not be Jenner or
Pasteur. or a man like Harvey, VINO
discovered the circulation Of the blood
Should he turn his attention to COM
merce, what is there to prevent MIN
becoming Lord Mayor of London?
"As a scientific man he might be
Newton or an Edison. What Is the
child's name?"
