tabernacle, recently, an amusing 1 incident
occurred, in which an aged minister and a
deck of cards figured conspicuously. The
preacher referred to had need of an over¬

which he was stopping. On reaching the
church he divested himself of the borrowed

reach after a ten here and a jack there and
at the same time trying to be-sly about it.
