SOME LoNe-WiNDED PREACHERS
'nree Hours Once Considered Fair
Average Allowance for a Sermon.

Dean LEROY, who has expressed the
opinion that ten minutes s long
enough for sermon, would have met
with scant sympathy from some di.
vines OF past centuries.
Thomas Hooker considered. three
hours a fair average allowance for a
sermon, though, on one occasion. when

more lightly. Pausing at the end Of
10 minutes he rested a while and then
continued his homily for two hours
longer. Cranmer's sermons were each

An interesting story of how the
telegraph came into use for dispatching
trains is told in the May number of
Popular Mechanics. The article says:
I'm 1880 train OH the Erie railroad,
OH board of which there happened to he
an official of the road, arrived at its
scheduled meeting point, and was
obliged To await the train from the
opposite direction. AS time passed and
the other train did not appear, the
official, becoming impatient at the long
delay, went to the telegraph Office and
wired the next station, asking if the
expected train had passed. On receiv-
ing an answer that it had not, he
wired the station agent to stop the
train and have it wait until the arrival
of the train on which he was riding.
He then requested the engineer to take
the train to the next station, but found
that he objected, because it was irreg-
ular and he had no faith in the tele-
graph. Not until the official had
commanded the engineer to start his
train, was the movement made. Upon
arriving at the next station it was
found that the other train had not yet
appeared; the telegraph was again
employed. and the train moved up
another station. This demons tration
OF the saving in time which could be
effected by using the telegraph led to
the system of dispatching trains which
has existed nnchallenged until the
present time"

When Coffroth heard Of this he
was worried. being afraid that
Johnson would believe that
Ketchel would consider this n good

There was no need for worry. how
