Little Mies Brown, when the minister 
was about to come to tea, was carefully 
instructed to say nothing unless spoken 
to, to speak then with the utmost polite¬

“perfection” till the meal was nearly 
over, when in a timid tone she said: “ Dr. 
Blank, for Christ’s sake, pTease pass me 
the butter.”— Christian at Work.
