THE LONGEST SERMON.
The longest sermon on record was to be preached at Eastport (Maine) on Sunday, November 25th (according to a telegram in the '‘Daily Mail”).

The reports will be pasted on to strips made into a huge roll, and as the roll is unwound extracts will be read by the pastor, who will make comments on special cases, while several attendants carry the end through the church and into the street, where they will wind it in a carriage. It will then he driven to the city library, where it will be solemnly placed on exhibition as an object lesson, showing the misery caused by drink,”
