ONE FOR THE PARSON.
Ail London is plateMed with " ? Hopi Bitters " advertiseniefita just now. This may not at first sight appear a fact worth retailing to you colonists, but it will serve as introductory to a little story. which made me laugh/ consumedly' as the Y-ankees Bay. A Christian used to travel the American continent, and everywhere he went ' 'her posted large bills bearing the words ' Prepare to meet ; thy ■> God ? An enterprising IrAvfller for the flop Biers Company was travelling! -the same way j, only m the rear of the Christian, wbqSQ/' t bill h,e doypredwi.il} Ijiav own, * Drink 'Hop, Bitters and. H^t. T'other . chap got to. hear of this and! 'day fallow for ''£'. few days m order to let lihe'Hbp Bitters man get on ahead. Then he followed and pasted his 'bill, so' tiiat.it read 'Daink Hop Bitters and Prepare to meet thy God.' Mr Parson had. the best of that joke I'm thinking—-i^hrisl-church Star's London correspondent.
