Hie bishop of London, told two stories which attracted widespread attention. IK* said that In the congre ga lion nt a coufirmatiou service be once condticird lu Westminster abbey wns a girl of thirteen. During Hie service she said to her mother, “Do you see them, mol her?" "See wbnt?” asked the mother, and the child re plied, “Angels on each side of the bish op.” “It Is snid.” commented the bish op. "Hint lite pure In heart shall see God. and Is It not therefore possible Hint a child perfectly pure could see things ilint nn adult could not see?" The bishop also told a story of five girls whose father, feeling III. went to lie down. The youngest child wns sent to bed. but ran from tier room, calling "Come out. There are two angels walking up the staircase!" Later Hie child <-alled out again, "The angels are walking down the staircase, and fa ther's milking between them!" All five girls, snid the bishop, saw the same thing, and. going Into tlielr father's room, they found him dead. One summer’s day in the long ago, when you could meet a lightning rod outfit at every five miles on tho high way, one of the craft drove into the town of Plainfield. In showing off his fine horses he ran over a hog, and the hog limped squealing away. It was nothing to make a fuss over, and none would have been made if the hog hadn't belonged to Elder Carpenter. The elder was a solemn, severe man. i i He happened to be passing at the time the animal was run over, and he caught a laugh and an oath from the lips of the man of lightning. What does he do but go before a justice and swear out a warrant for malicious in jury to a hog. An arrest and trial fol lowed. Of course the lightning rod Odd Schools. man testified on his own behalf that "Freak" schools were the subject re no malice existed. lie and the elder’s hog had never met before.
