Evening Chat
William E. Bulcroit, who is an admirer
of the West Virginian and n
faithful reader, has contributed a little
narrative to this department which
lie says Is one of a number of his
I grandfather's tales. Mr. Bulrroft rays
I that ho has a large store of such little
stories and has promised to bring us
[ more of them.
l'ollowing is the first one, which is
a typical West Virginia story and
mieht even yet happen In some sections
of this state:
Many years ago. away back on
the hills of West Virginia, in sort
of an isolated community, there
was an old M. E. church. At one
\ of the meetings, the subject of
purchasing an oil chandelier was
broached.
After all the memhe.rs had their
say. an old gentleman arose, and
said, he thought it "foolish to expend
money in this manner" as he
ventured to say there was not a
member in the congregation could
play on it. So the purchase was
abandoned.
Two rears ago at the conference
of Hi" M. E. laymen here tile story
wa told to a parly of pastors and
delegates. The preachers enjoyed
a hearty laugh but it particularly
pleased an old gentleman who continued
to burst out in laughter,
and who finally exclaimed:
11(1 11 Mln l IMluw vi 11 ill II mini' I
delier was!" He didn't know what
a chandellier was! Why anyone |
could have spit in ltl"
At this point it. was a difficult
task for all present to suppress
their mirth.
