AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA . r- -r~? WAKED THE CONGREGATION. Parson Adams' Methods Were Vigorin and Productive Many stories are told of the way in which a certain Parson Adams of Lunenburg, well known in the-first half of the last century, attended to matters which he decided 'were in need of summary treatment. On one or two occasions at leant hia action was not limited to his own parish. One amusing instance of this sort occurred one Sunday when he exchanged pulpits with a friend who presided over a well to do but a neighboring town. This friend, who was one of the meekest and niost long suffering men imaginable, told Parson Adams with much mortification that there were one or two things about the thfljch which sadly deeded attention, but that, although he knew his pariaj 2oners meant well, these matters seemea"~to_ slip thhir minds from week to week/ - . "The window behind the pulpit is sadly in want of repair," the gentle minister explained, "and so is the pulpit cushion, in which there is a large-hole. ~ I mention these matters bo that you may be saved annoyance. I have learned {o stand at one side to avoid the draft from the broken window, and I refrain from bringing any force to bear upon the pulpit cushion." Parson Adams looked at his friend indulgently, but made no rash promises, simply saying that he had no doubt he should get along all right. On mounting to the pulpit in his friend's church the next day, however, he proceeded to electrify the congregation by taking several handfuls of rags out of a piece bag which he carried with him and deliberately stuffing them into the broken panes of the unsightly window. Then he proceeded calmly with the service, but when he began his sermon it soon became evident th e the pulpit cushion was by no means to be spared at his hands. Hl some way or other the largest, hole in the cushion was w.ortfed round until it -was well to the front, and after tliht, each of three emphatic thumps from Parson ^Adams' vigor* ous hands as he expounded his ideaa?-sent a shower of feathers floating down over thd heads of the -deacons and their, familtes in the front pews. ' -Z, The next Sunday when the gentle parson resumed his charge there were no broken panes in the window behind him and the pulpit cushion had a brave new cover.? Youth's Companion.
