tendencies was called to preside over
1 congregation that abhorred ritual
ism, and waa a stickler for the sim

I'otter to ask what would be the re

"Supposo I should burn n pastille

rou think would happen, plshop, for
I dearly wish to try the experiment?"
"Your congregatt6h would be In
censed, your vestrymen would fume,
and you would go out in smoke,"
lulckly replied tho bishop.
