Clergyman and Baker.

A clergyman in* Scotland desired his hearers never to call one another liars, but when anyone said the thing that was not true they ought to whistle. One Sunday he preached a a sermon on the miracle of the loaves and fishes, and, being at a loss how to explain it, he said the loaves were not like those nowadays; they were as big as some of the hills in Scotland! He had scarcely pronounced the words when he heard a loud whistle. “Wha is that,” says he, ‘‘ca’s me a liar?” “It is I, Willy MacDonald, the baker. ” “Well, Willy, what objection have ye to what I ha’ told ye?” “None,” said he; “only I want to know what sort o’ ovens they had to bake those loaves o’ bread in.” —New York Ledger.
