The teacher had asked, "Why did David say he would rather be a
door-keeper in the house of the Lord?"
"Because," answered a boy, "he could then walk outside while the
sermon was being preached."
"It was hot last Sunday night when the preacher started his Sunday
sermon," says the _Fort Scott (Kan.) Tribune_.
"He observed that his sermon would be brief; that to be immortal, it
is not necessary to be eternal."
The critical instinct grows by what it is fed upon. No matter how well

families.
A Philadelphia divine was entertaining a couple of clergymen from New
York at dinner. The guests spoke in praise of a sermon their host had
delivered the Sunday before. The host's son was at the table, and one
of the New York clergymen said to him: "My lad, what did you think of
your father's sermon?"
"I guess it was very good," said the boy, "but there were three mighty
fine places where he could have stopped."
