Show THE PULPIT of the Rev Thomas the Chicago divine who is on trial for heresy was occupied by a substitute last Sunday and that substitute came near creating a lively sensation Like most of Sundays sermons his related to the late President whose nomination nomina-tion for the chief magistracy was glowingly described If the preacher had had the good sense or the sense of any kind to have stopped there his sermon would have made a favorable impression but he went on to prove that he was an ass in the following terms Whata pity that the members mem-bers of this convention had not the patience to search for one more such man But alas they concluded to threw dice for the other The dice were loaded and loaded with the murder of Garfield Many people some of them ladies at once withdrew with-drew from the church while there was an audible whisper of f disapproval in every pare of the building The members of that flock feel that it is better to havega hereto for a preacher than a slanderer |
