BY DIVINE PERMISSION.
Not long ago a certain Bishop had occasion to send to a most devout but not highly-educated layman an official document in which he was described as by “ Divine permission Bishop of” the diocese. A little later it was the duty of the layman to draw up and sign an official document relating to some church business, and, noticing the phrase referred to in the Bishop’s paper, he thought it was incumbent upon him also to recognise the Divine guidance. So in entire good faith he described himself as ‘ John Smith, by Divine permission grocer and dealer in all kinds of flour and horse-feed.’
