Persons who sometimes get t
sleepy at chuich can better un A
derstand the embarrassing posi j
tion of a certain Union county t
preacher several years ago when j
he tell esleep during a funeral <
service which was being con ,
J A f A m# ^
auciea ai Mountain bpnnps i
church. This minister was one (
of the best and most popular in ,
the county and his memory is (
cherished by hundreds and hun (
dreds of people until this day.
On the occasion mentioned .
above he was perhaps tired, and '
when the good brother dwelt.at ]
some length upon the virtues of ]
the deceased, whom for conve- 1
nience we will call Bill Smith, 1
and quoted and read much scrip- 1
ture along the line of thought 1
this minister went to sleep and 1
was apparently slumbering quite 1
soundly. The brother in the i
pulpit experienced some diffi t
culty in naming the author of a t
passage he quoted, and after
several attempts to call the name
he stepped forward and at the
top of his voice cried, "Brethren! 1
what was his name?" The sleep s
iuk pieacuer awoKe, witn a start, ?
and in the haze of returning 1
memories he thought the speak- I
er had asked for the name of ?
the deceased brother, so he ans I
vvered without hesitation, "His 1
name was Bill Smith." The t
congregation roared, the sleeper \
wanted to go through the floor, 2
and the speaker explained that t
he asked for the name of one of I
the inspired writers, and not for ?
the name of their brother who 1
had passed away. J
On one occasion when Mr. R. *

late he became very thirsty. He p
lesired to go about getting a a
Irink ot water in a quiet way a
ind to give no room for anyone I
o suspicion that he was not en t<
irely familiar with all the new v
vays of doing things. He v
noved along the swaying train ?
5
o the water coolor, and there _
* s
ookcd well for a drinki ng ves
>el but found none. He return
ed to his companion and asked n
him where he could get a drink 1
of water, stating that there was
r
nothing to drink from. His
companion assured him that the i
drinking accommodations were v
good and told him to go back t
and look again. This he did ?
with the same result as before. s
Finally it dawned upon his com- d
panion that perhaps he didn't s
know just what he was looking =
for, and he explained that there f
were plenty of the folded, sani- I
:ary drinking cups in a con- I
ainer near the cooler. "Oh!? I
[ thought that was a letter box," E
eplied the thirsty one as he Q
urned to go back for the third |
