When Edward H. Chapin was pastor 
of a church in New York city, he was 
very popular and had many _ well 
known parishioners. Many persons 
came to the church for the express 
purpose of hearing him preach and if 
ii happened that there was a substi- 
tute that day, a large proportion of 
them would go out. One exchange 
rebuked them thus: When he opened 
the service he said that those who had 
come to church to worship Edward 
Chapin were at that time given an op- 
portunity to withdraw; those who 
bad come to church to worship Al- 
mighty God would please join in sing- 
ing the first hymn, to be found on 
page 422. 
Slips of the tongue, Spoonerisms, 
as they are called, have been the cause 
of much mirth in days past and pres- 
ent. A man in addressing a crowd of 
Jaboring men said that he was glad to 
see in the audience so many horny 
handed sons of soil; another, a min- 
ister taking tea in the home of a 
parishioner, startled his hostess by 
announcing “I should like the pig’s 
fleas,’ when he meant to say, “I 
should like the figs, please ;” another 
in announcing the well known hymn, 
“From Greenland’s Icy Mountains,” 
said, “We will now sing ‘From Ice- 
land’s Greasy Mountains.’ ”’ 
Next to marrying for money, Mr. 
Brannigan said, he held it sinful to 
marry without money enough—to pay 
the minister, He told the story about 
the embarrassed bridegroom who 
said that he had no money, but as in- 
spiration came to him he added, “But 
J tell you what I will do—Ill fix your 
gas meter so that it won’t register a 
foot a month.” Another very new 
husband said to the minister, ‘I’ve 
two dollars here. I’ll give that to you 
now if you want it, or I'll wait a 
couple of months until I have decided 
what my wife is really worth and 
then I’ll give you that amount even 
if it is two hundred dollars.” « The 
clergyman gave a hasty glance at the 
_ bride and then said, “I'll take that two 
dollars.” 
That Mr. Brannigan’s talk was en- 
joyed was evidenced by the applause 
which he received. There was a 
rumor of, having him at Manchester 
' again for an evening meeting so that 
the men of the town could have the 
pportunity of hearing him. 
In the unavoidable absence of Miss 
ara Winthrop, Mrs. Maud Carter 
erved as hostess for the social tea 
at followed the address.
