VERY IGNORANT.

Shortly before his death the late Chief Justice Fuller presided at * church conference. During the progress of a heated debate a member arose and began a tirade against universities and education, thanking God that he had never been corrupted by contact with a college. "Do i understand the speaker thanks God for his Ignorance?” interrupted the chief justice. "Well, yes," was the answer, “you can put ft that way if you want to." “All I have to say, then,” said the chief justice, in his sweetest musical tone, "is that the member has a good deal to thank God for.”—Hampton Magazine.
