He Made Good Run In Record Time
With Plenty Of Reason.

town of Fairfield, Conn, recounts a
wild dash from the pulpit made by
a worthy and beloved pastor Of the
Episcopal flock. DR.. Labaree.

dred years ago. The service had been
read, the prayers said, the hymns sung.
and the parson began his sermon. AS
he proceeded his. gestures became very
energetic. He brought his right hand
down with great force. Then he turned
pale, cleared the pulpit stairs at a
bound, dashed out of the church door
and ran toward the pond a short dis
lance away.
The congregation followed in bewil-
dered pursuit and saw their venerable
pastor with flying robe rush into the
water until it came to his neck. Then.
turning round. he faced his astonished
audience and said:
Dearly beloved brethren, I am not
crazy, as no doubt many Of you think,
but yesterday at the drug store bought
a bottle of nitric acid and carelessly
left 1t in my pocket today.
"My last gesture broke the bottle. ]
knew the suffering the acid would cause
when it penetrated my clothing and
rushed for the water to save myself
pain"
He drew several pieces Of glass from
his pocket in witness Of the tale. Then
he dismissed the company and hurried
home.
