THE PATRON SAINT OF UPHOLSTERERS.
It may not be generally known, even, to,Biblical students, that St,Paul \*
jcounted the patron saint of upholsterers. Such is the fact in England. His credentials are probably supplied by Acts xviii. 3 j he came unto Aquila and Fnscilla at Corinth, " and because he was of the/same craft, he abode with them, and wrought; forty their occupation they were tent-makers." This year the festival of the Apostle .of the Gentiles occurred on January 2.sth Sunday—and it was not professionally .commemorated by the uph|ls£erers of York until the following 4mng, WQen tbe . v met and .discussed "ir capital dinner ;" and a Fork paper assures us that- " after the : usual loyal and patriotic toa&ts had been .duly honored, the craft drank to the memory of St Paul."
