LITERAL IN HIS THEOLOGY
Darky Preachers Humorous Comment
on Biblical Text AS He Under
stood Its Meaning.

Of old the right Of individual private
Interpretation of the scriptures was
not accorded to the laity. Only the
priests or preachers were authorized
to say what was meant by the sacred
text. That has all been changed, and
no man will now be expelled from the
most orthodox church for believing
that Balaam's palace mule did not
really address his fellow citizens of
Judea on the political issues of the
day, or considering that the statement
Of the suns standing still at the order
of Captain Joshua was an illustrative
allegory and not the record of frozen
fact.
This advance in theology is illus
trated by the story of the darby
preacher who delivered a sermon from
the text, These eight did Micah
bear"
"Muffrinds," said he, you is singu.

MORE TROUBLE IN A GARDEN
Old Gentleman Went Too Far In HIs
Inquiry, and Demonstration
Proved His Undoina.

An elderly gentleman walking
through his garden one day stopped
before a fig tree on which were two
figs just fipening. His favorites were
figs, and summer often came and
went without the fruit coming to ma.
turity.
Shortly after, he met his gardener,
who, assuring him the figs were quite
ripe, was requested to send them to
the summer house, where his master
was about to rest.
Picking the figs, the gardener sent his
little boy of seven with the basket. On
the way the little fellow stopped and,
removing the leaves, gazed upon the
tempting fruit.
The attraction was too great; he ate
one. Covering the other with the
leaves, he proceeded upon his errand
On being asked If the gardener had
not sent two figs, the boy, after a mo-
ment's silence, answered: 81 ate one"
"You ate one? How?" exclaimed the
old gentleman, angrily. How did you
come to do that?"

One of the spiders was captured
several years ago by the Rev. N.
Abraham at Greytown, and it was
placed in an aquarium. A servant
boy soon noticed the creature eating
a pet fish, and the startled clergyman
left his study to watch.
The spider, three inches across with
legs extended, stationed itself at the
waters edge, with two legs on a
stone and the eight others spread out
on the water. After a time fish
came under the putstretched legs,
