improve the lot of our poorer little

Australia horseback services are not
SO rare.
One of them took place some years
agosin a parish, which as we'll as the
surrounding district, had been visited
by serious floods. The dwelling houses
were many feet deep in water, but the
people were determined not to forego
their Sabbath services, so they set
out on horseback for their little chap
ell, only to find on arriving there that
that was also flooded out. The min
lister was a man of resource, and he
suggested that they should hold SER
vice just as they were, mounted on
horseback, outside the church. Every
one Immediately fell in with the idea,
and hymns were sung and a sermon
preached just as %fervently as If the
worshippers had been seated inside
the church. Then when the service
was over the worshippers turned their
horses heads and rode home through
the food.
