entitled. The Wrong Envelope" Mt
NJ, a missionary, shortly before
leaving England, received two letters
one from Archbishop TAFT asking
him to dine, and the other from the
secretary OF religious society, very
old friend. asking him to preach. He
accepted the archbishop's invitation,
and at the same time wrote to the
secretary. but put the letters into the
wrong envelopes.
After the dinner at Lambeth the
archbishop said to him: Mr.. NJ.
do you always answer your dinner In
yitations In the same way?'
Il do not understand. your Grace.
The letter, which was then shown
to the missionary. ran thus: You old
rascal, Why did you not ask me be-
fore? You know perfectly well that
