—In his book entitled " Ramblos In
Galloway," Mr. Harper brings out-the
following good story - concerning the
Rev. Nathaniel MeKle, minister of Bal-
moghlo.' Mr. McKie had a habit of ad-
dressing personal remarks to bis audit-
ors in the course of his soripture read-
ings. Beginning one day in Exodus,
he said: "Ana tbo Lord said unto'
Moses—sneok that door; I'm thinking
If ye had to sit beside the door yerself,
ye wadna be sae ready leaving it open.
It was just besido that Yedam Tamson,
the bellman, got his death o' cattld;
and I'm euro, honest man, de dldna let
it stay muoklo open. And "the Lord
said unto Moses—I see a mil) aneath
that laft wi' his hat on. I'm sure ye're
clear o' tho soogh o' the door. Keep
aff yor bannat, Tammas; and If yer
bare pow be cauld. ye maun just get a
grey worsted wig like myiel; they're
no sae dear; plenty o'. them at Bob
Gillespie's for tenpence." Of course,
after this interpolation he subsequently
read the Instructions In strict accord-
ance With the text.
