obeyed orders.
Ilrother Smith had never tindertakon

tho opening services, ho roso and gave

"What's tho nap, brethren?" ho said,
Kitting down. "I can't preach!
Ilrother Thompson saw that thocaao

"Young man," ho whispered sternly
In Ids ear, "you get up again and
preach that Kcrmon, or I'll tako you
out In tho grove, after this meeting Is

as suro as your immo Is Stnlthl"
An electric shock could not hava
