A dergyvman wis very anxions fo
introduce some hyvmn-books inte the
church, amd armuged with his clerk
that the latter was to give the notice
immediately after the sermon. The
| clerk, however, had a Wotice of his
own to give onl with reference to the
C baptisay of Infants, Accordingly, at
the vlose of his sermon, he arose and
announced:
“All those who have chikiren whom
they wish to have baptised please send
in their names at once to the clerk”
The clergyman, who was stone deaf.
assumed that the clerk was giving out
the hymu book notice, and immedi-
ately arose and said; :

of those who haven't aty, that ies
