Show 1 Absent-Mindedness. A parson noted for his absent-mindedness had a habit of forgetting something some-thing hi- intended to say in the pulpit. Then, after silling down, he would rise up again and begin bis supplementary remarks with, "By the way." Recently he finished his prayer, hesitated, hes-itated, forgot what he was about, and sat down abruptly without closing. In a moment, however, he rose, pointed his linger at his amazed congregation, and exclaimed : "Oh. by the way. 'Amen.'" Harper's Magazine. |
