He Gave ’Em Plain Talk.

A Rushville (Ind.) minister is said to have made the following remarks to his congregation in his Sunday evening sermon: “Before the stewards up the collection I would like to make a few remarks. There are over two hundred persons in this house, counting saints and sinners, straight and crooked, male and female, not including the crying babies. If each person here thinks my sermon worth the price of a glass of beer or a nickel cigar, five red cents or a dime, let them pay that amount. If each pays a nickel it will make a total of $lO this evening. This repeated every Sunday in the year would pay my salary. A sermon that is not worth a nickel is not worth coming to hear. A person who will beat the iSord, the preacher or a printer, is a goat, of odor the most odoriferous.”
