The heavy yield of this years corr

In gathering the crop. Some thought

Sunday evening those who attended
the Congregational church had the
privilege of listening to an interest
ing talk by Rev. Spittel giving his
pulpit experience In the west. He told
one: When he was delivering q ser
mon to his congregation in q shack Il

were expanding their lungs and iL
came q pug dog bowling, 1t had step
ped on a cactus thorn, and everything
was In an uproar, until the thorn was
extracted from Pug's foot, and the
mothers succeeded in quieting theil
babies, then the Rev. began. To the
average eastern minister these
things would wreck his nerves, but
when a minister has breathed anC
lived a while in western atmosphere,
he views life from a different angl,
and governs himself accordingly. Rev
Spittel occupied the Congregations
pulpit In Worthing about II year.
ago, in fact he derw the plans from
which the Congregational church was
built. Rev. Spittel Is q forceful pull
pit orator and his many friends II
Worthing were sorry he was allowed
but 20 minutes, which ought to have
been 20 hours. We say this in all
sincerely, with no tincture of flattery
Many of his friends hope he can ar
range to fill the pulpit here some
afternoon or evening, before he goes
| west again.
