He explained to the good woman that such ejaculations ejacula-tions wero not customary in tho Episcopal church, and she sat gravely through a sermon on dignity and decorum deco-rum In public worship. Afterward the bishop thanked her for restraining her fervor. "No need to thank mo," retorted the ox-Mcthodlst. "You didn't say anything any-thing to mako mo shout" Now York Tlmos. |
