REMARKABLE SERMONS.
Some We're Cruelty Long, and Others
Were Models of Brevity.

Some Were Cruelty Long, and Others
Were Models of Brevity.
Sermons are not 50 lengthy us they
used TO be. and one seldom sees in the
comic prints the joke. so familiar in
other times, wherein the minister was
chided for his "fourteenthly' remark
which was supposed to mark period
in his sermon somewhat toward its
rlose.
1t is said that Thomas Hooker
thought his duty Ill performed if his
sermon did not consume three hours
Once it is related that the famous di-
vine did deliver "A really short SER
mon-preaching exactly fifteen min
utes. He sat down. but after brief
rest was up and ut it again for two
hours more. Every one of Cranmer's
sermons was small volume in itself.
and Bunyan. Calvin. Baxter and Knox
are all said to have been only little
more merciful to their hearers.
In striking contrast to these long
winded discourses may be mentioned
some startlingly brief sermons of late
years. Perhaps the shortest of all was
that delivered by clergyman at
Ocean Grove. n. j.. who. after an
nouncing his text. impressively sur
veyed his congregation and then said:
Don't worry; it's wicked" He then
sat down.
1t would be difficult to exceed this
in brevity and effectiveness, but a
north of England vicar in the last cen
tury closely approximated it. He gave
out the text. "God so loved the world
etc, to which he added this observa-
ton:
MY friends. did | speak an hour
couldn't make that message any
palmer. I'll just leave it with you"
Another example of brief but eX-
nished by an aged and feeble clergy
man in Ohio, He had been requested
to deliver n charity address on behalf
of orphan children. but his strength
was unequal to the task. 1t was there
fore an Inspiration indeed that moved
him to stretch forth one feeble arm
in the direction OF the little unfortu-
mates sitting near the pulpit AND to
exclaim with no little pathos. whence
shall we find bread that these may
eat?"
SO impressed was the congregation
that the collection was the largest ever
taken in that vicinity. Rec

Record Breaking Family.

Williston. N. D., March SO.
The 500 line hauled the record
family of the world through
Darlington on one of the fast
trains a few days since" says
the Graphs.
Thirteen children, two pairs of
twins and three sets Of triplets
ali boys, and all born within the
last five years, is the record of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Scott erst-
while of Alberta, Canada. but
now of Oklahoma, where they
will make their future home.
The mother and Is little SCOTS
left Alberta and came by way of
st. Paul and Minneapolis. the IA
riding 5000 miles ON one first
class ticket, which is considered
record by railroad men.
AS Conductor Jarvis entered
the train he looked down the aisle
of one of the coaches and seeing
the Scott family remarked to
himself. Here's Sunday
school picnic.
When the train was under way
and Conductor Jarvis went
through the cars to take up the
tickets, he came upon the Scott
family, the mother and children
scattered over five seats. Stop
ping in front of the mother, she
passed up one ticket calling for
the transportation of one person
and no more. Looking about,
with wave of the hand. Con-
ductor Jarvis asked: Are these
yours? If they are you will have
to pay for some of them. You
can't carry the inmates of an
orphan asylum on one ticket"
Here Mrs. Scott proved that
she was equal to the occasion and
asked: do not the rules of the
road provide that all children I'M
der five years of age shall ride
free, when accompanied by a
parent?"
Sure, responded the conduct
or, but this is no family; it's a
school on an outing, and you will
have to pay half fare for a half
dozen or more"
To prove that it was a family
and no picnic, Mrs. Scott went
down into a suit case and brought
out the family bible and called
the roll. Over there are Ashbe,
Archer and Austin, triplets, four
and one-half years old; in that
second seat are Arthur and Ar
mold, twins, three and one-half
years old, in the front are Allan,
Almon and Alvin, triplets, two
and one-half years old; across the
aisle in that seat are Albert, AL
bian and Adolph, another set of
triplets, 18 months old, and here
in the seat with me are the
babies, twins, Abel and Abner,
six months old. | have been
married nine years and have lost
six boys, or two pairs of triplets.
We are now going to Oklahoma
to start anew, where Frank, my
husband, has a farm and there
to raise a family"
Convinced, Conductor Jarvis
passed the members of the fam
lily, the children on the rest of
the trip being known as the 10
little AS.

Take care how you pick up thing
that Is lost in Berlin. The other day

convention at Frankfort noticed key
at the edge Of the sidewalk. He pick
ed 1t up TO hand it to a police agent
The representative Of the city police
refused to take it, saying, You should
take this key to the special bureau Of
things that are lost"
"Very well. Where is it?"
The agent named the street.
us 1t far from here?"
"a half hour. three-quarters Of an
hour If you don't walk rapidly"
The deputy replaced the key on the
pavement. Some one else will pick
1t up," he said.
Not at ALL" said the agent in a COM
manding tone. You should have left
It where it was, but now you are
obliged TO go to the bureau. If you
don't I'll make a complaint against you
and you'll be fined, perhaps given a
day in prison. That's the law"
The deputy was compelled to obey
orders. Since that day he carries his
hand in his pockets.-Cri de Paris.
