HOW TO KILL A PREACHER
d -
Feu people, 'if arrainged in court
woulc: plead guilty to the charge of
kiliine their preachers. Some one
has written the following rules guar-
inteeing that if carefully followed
they will kill any preacher on earth.
React them and see if you are kill-
ing your preacher.
1 Stay away from church, espec-
ially or bad days when you think the
crowd will be .small
• 2 Stay away from the Wednesday
night service because you know there
w�l be only a handful present.
3 When the service, is over leave
the church in a hurry without speak-
ing, to the preacher a work of encour
agement.
4 When you get sick don't let
him know it and then abuse ,him' for
not coming to see you.
5 Never invite him or his family
out to dine in your horde. They nev
er enjoy a social hour.
6 Pay jus tai little as you can
on his salary and then grumble' about
that This makes hem feel good.
7. Never give him anything except
what you promised. It might, make.
hin: think you appreciate him,
8 Always have some fool excuse
when he wants you to do a .little
work That's what you, pay him for.
9. Nev„elr offer to take him out in
your auto, or lend him your horse
and buggy , This would be Leo kind.
10 Never call at his horde, but
rai c old Billy •Cain, because .he does
not visit you once or twice a month.
11 Never offer to help him in nny
way fore he might think you are,
"butting,, in."
1.1. Act as cold and indifferent to-
ward hien as you can and he will
thinl; you are dignified. If these 12
doses fail to kill him they will •um
dot btedly break him from preaching,
ano force him to leave town.

Communication
To The Advocate,-
A news item in the local paper of a
neighboring village dealing with an
incident in connection with a meeting
of The Ministerial Association of
Sotttlt Huron held in the James St.
Church Exeter, on Monday, May 2.
and many incorrect manors he eircul-
atiots with regard to the incident, ha -
Pet me to give through your paper
tt correct account of what actually
occurred on the occasion referred to,
and to nutter my vigorous protest.
Darin the discussion of a paper on
"Evangelism” given by the [tea, Mr,
Smith of Hensall, in a most shameful
and uncalled for attack on the Brit-
ish aim's Mr. Smith used these words
--"The British army goes 'into battle
;;,nging Tipperary, yes, singing T t p-,
pe r a r y, while their enemy, the
German army goes into battle ,ring-
inn Psalms, praising God, and crying
to God for victory. But then what
can you ,xpect but Tipperary "roan
an army the very chaplains .af which
are a bunch o. boozers." This last
expression was vigorously assented to
by Rev Mr. McAlister of Exeter, who
used the words, "That's quite con-
ect,"
