just outside l.undiin. one Sunday night.
Dr. Ingram. 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.

therefore. although cleverly disguised,

night he went to the gallery of a thea
