GOT TWISTED AFTER ALL.

1.-THE late Bishop Fowler" said a Buff
falo Methodist, was a broadminded
man. Bigotry he abhorred. Greed, he
claimed, should never hedge one good
Christian from another.y Sincere creeds,
no matter how diverse, should on the
contrary bind Christians together.
Bishop Fowler used to tell about a
young Detroit couple, John Smith and
Hannah Jones.
John Smith was a Presbyterian;
Hannah Jones was a Baptist. They
hesitated about marrying because they
feared that in later life, when the little
ones came, religious disputes might
arise. Thus the years passed. John
Smith grew bald and Hannah Jones de-
veleped lines about her mouth and eyes
1t was a complete deadlock, the world
said.
"Then John was sent abroad for a
year by his firm to buy fancy goods.
He and Hannah corresponded regularly
Toward the years end, by a remarkable
coincidence, each received from the
other a letter, the two letters crossing
in the mails. They said:
Friend John-The obstacles that
stood in the way of our marriage have
at last been removed. This day I was
received in full membership in the
Presbyterian church.-Hannah.'
Dearest Hannah-We have no long
er any ground for delaying our union
further. l united myself his day with
the Baptist church-John.'"
