CELEBATICAL.
An amusing story is told by an old missionary. An Episcopalian lady once came to him iv the confessional, when the following dialogue took place : " When where you at confession last ?" " I was never at coufession, sir." "What! Did you never make your first communion P" "No sir." . -
" Are you a Catholic?" " No sir."
" Then why did you come here ?"
" To get some consolation."
"Why did you not go to your own minister for consolation ?"
"Well, sir, there is something troubling my mind, and I was afraid to tell it to my own preacher."
" Why were you afraid to tell it to your own preacher ?"
" Well, sir, he has got a wife, and I know if I told him any secret he would tell his wife, and soon the whole congregation would know it.'
