Show Sermon Not Strong Enough. Bishop Cortlandt Whitehead of Pittsburg Is fond of telling stories at his own expense. When ho was rector rec-tor of tho Church of tho Nativity at South Bothlehcm, Pa ho acquired a convert for tho Episcopal church in tho person of a Methodist woman who was much given to contributing to tho church services by Interjecting "Amen" and "Alleluia." Ho explained to tho good woman that such ejaculations ejacula-tions wero not customary In tho Episcopal church, and sho sat gravely through a sermon on dignity nnd decorum deco-rum In public worship. Afterward tho bishop thanked her for restraining her fervor. "No need to thank mo," rotorted tho cx-Methodlst. "You didn't Bay anything any-thing to make mo shout." Now York Times. |
