Still Waiting for Him.

As a rule, the ministers, priests, rabbis and other ecclesiastics, occupying the pulpits of Cleveland churches, greatly enjoy the few minutes of rest and recreation that follow their exacting periods of service every Sunday. On a certain Sunday morning not long ago, Secretary Shinn, of the Cuyahoga County Sunday School Union, was announced to speak at the rally day services of the First United Presbyterian church, Carnegie avenue and East Seventy-first street. Rev. Dr. J. R. j. Milligan, the pastor, sort of hurried the services along in order not to keep Secretary Shinn waiting. Dr. Milligan's theme, “Things That Remain”—taken from a verse in Revelations—was Invested with an extraordinary solemnity, and when he came down from his pulpit everybody almost was under the spell of the minister’s uplifting discourse. Hurrying forward after the sermon, the superintendent of the Sunday school asked importunately: “Seen Mr. Shinn?" “No," replied Dr. Milligan, “no man of that name has shinned in here yet."
