THE TIMES
A SHOWMAN PREACHER. WATTY MORRISON.

The SL Louis Republican gives an
interesting a000unt of the conversion of
Dan Ripe, the fatuous showman, who
annonuoee that he proposes to preach
the Gospel as a lay minister, The re-
porter foaled him when the following
conversation ensued
'Tete eingiug of Sltukey's, it laid me
completely otit, hit me right square in
the soft spot, you know, and did the
business right theu and there.'

other night. I went up there ,to eee,
and I walked right in. 1 was little
full, you know, and—
'Full of religion ?' interrupted tile re
rR porter.
'No, no. Full, you know—full.
Only a (nils full, 'though, I went in,
and the chtiroh folks began looking
round. Presently I heart( some one
say, < 'here's. old Dan Rice,' bull didn't
mind that. I was standing in the
rigllt;aislo looking for a seat when 11Ir..
Moody, who was standing upon the
platform, saw me and came right down
and up ;to me 'Dail Rice, I believe
says he. 'You're right,' says I. 'Come

come right up to the front and face the
mueio. Then Air. Moody got on the
platform and. began talking. I grew
interested. bloody ain't a scholar, but
he can talk as smooth as any man
in the businese. When he talked he
looked right square at me, and I tell
you it sobered me up. Pretty soon he
got through talking and Sankey began
to sing. Oh that song bow hard it did
strike me 1 Why,: it kuooked me.'
'Whet was `the song' asked the re-
porter, looking at Dan trying hard to
relight his cigar frons another.
'It was a song my mother sang to
me a long while ago. .It goes—'Came,
ye sinners, poor and needy.' I forgot
fust nave how the nest line clues so,
but it hit me liars(. 'There I was,
listening to that ola song saying, 'Come
ye 'needy.' I. was needy and poor, ton;
I had to g••; I was forced to it. I just
caved right in.,'
llco:ly axe Sankey both espied the
old yuanand went for him in the li' e-
liest kind of a way. 'I'hey were per-
suading him to get converted.
Just then an old gentleman chimed
in and said : 'Raining a circus is 'a
disreputable business; give it upend be
saved.' Then I'grew red in the face
and, I rose up and aeid to that old gen-
ial -nen, says I, 'Sir I am at a loss to
.knowwhat there is so disreputable about
a circus performance.' Said that old
gentleman: 'I !have seen obscene csir-
ries pictures upon wade.' Then Igrew
a little hot. 'Ole gentleman,' says I,
'those pictures that you saw on the wall
:were put un there by another inau's ad
'ewes guard, not mine.'
'Then Mr. Sankey he chipped in,
'1Ir. Rice,' says he, 'I saw yon when I
was a little boy at New Castle,Penuby
lvauaa.'
'Did you, indeed,' says 1; 'I Lope
you didn't steal under the canvas like
the other bad little boys, but• perhaps
yon did.' 'I plead gnilty to the charge,'
said 1!fr. S tnkey, 'I :went tinder the`
centers, but I have long since ,made.
amends for such folly.'
The next night Moody preached a
sermon. especially for hien, on the 'goat
sheen,' anti• tlhie wag the : sermon that
brought him in..' When the reporter

'Wetty Morrison was a man of most
irrepressible humor. ` Ou one occasion
I a young officer scoffed at the idea that
le required so cinch time and study to
write o. sermon as ministers pretend,
and offered a bet that be would preach.
an hour on any passage in the Old
Testanreut 'without the slightest pre-
paration. Mr. Morrison took the bet,
and gave for a text, 'And the ass opeu-
ecl hie mouth and he spike.' Theeparsen
won the wager, the officer being rather
disinclined to employ his eloquence_
upon the text.
On another occasion Mr. Morrison
entreated an officer to pardon a poor
soldier for some offense he bad com-
mitted. The officer agreed to do so if
he would in turn grant him the first
favor hewould ask.
Mr. Morrison. agreed to this. In a
day or two the offhaer demanded that
the ceremony of baptism should be
performed on a puppy. The clergyman
agreed to it; and a party of many gent-
leman assembied to witness the novel
baptism.
Mr. Morrison desired the officer to
hold up the peppy, as was customary
in the baptism of children, and said :
'As I ain a minister of the Church of
Scotland, I must proceed according Ito
the ceremonies of the Church.'
'Certainly,' said the Major; '1 expect
all the ceremony.'
'Well, then' Major, I begin by the
usual question. Yon aekuowtedge
yourself the father of this puppy ?'
A roar•of laughter burst from the
crowd; the officer threw the candidate
for the baptism away and thus the
witty minister turned the laugh against
the infidel, who inteuded to deride the
snored ordinance.
