Kitchen or Pulpit.

In preaching the minister had been rather long winded, when the young bride remembered that she had left the Christmas dinner Jn the gas range without regulating the flame. She hastily wrote a note and slipped it to her husband, who was an usher. He, thinking it was Intended for the minister, calmly walked up and laid it on the pulpit. The, minister paused in the midst of his sermon and took the note with a smile which changed into a terrific frown as he read: "Please hurry Aome and shut off the gas.' —Ladies Home Journal.
