Apropos of the need of being ever viligant • arid ready to defend the church from aspersion, Dr. Gibb told an excellent story at the annual congregational meeting at St. Paul’s Church, on Monday night (says the Southland Times). The- story was of two men and a dog, the owner of which happened to be a German. In the absence of / its owner, the dog attacked the other man, who, with prompt deftness, countered its 1 attack with a pitchfork, „ and he did the work so thoroughly that the prongs were driven through the dog’s body. Presently the German camfe to remonstrate. “Well,” said the second man, “he was going :o ■bite me.” The German asked why, i l ' the pitchfork was the only available weapon, the blunt end was not used. “Weil,” said the urbane second man, “I should have done so had the dog turned his blunt end to me.”
