Show At Sea on Land. A clergyman who had neglected all knowledge of nautical affairs was asked to deliver an address before an audience of sailors. He was discoursing on the stormy passages of life. Thinking he could make his remarks more pertinent to his hearers by metaphorically using sea expressions he said: "Now, friends, you know that when you are at sea in a storm the thing you do Is anchor." A half-concealed snicker spread over the room, and the clergyman knew that he had made a mistake. After the services one of his listeners listen-ers rame to him and said: "Mr. , hare you ever been t sea?" The minister replied: "No, unless it was while I was de-lireriHg de-lireriHg tuit address." |
