Shout Seemons. — Archdeacon Denison, in one of hia speeches at Wolverhampton, Baid he thought that sermons were very dull things indeed. (Laughter.) He was dining the other day in London with an English gentleman, who , had been a long tune in India, and somehow or other the conversation turned upon preaching." He (Archdeacon Denison) remarked during that conversatiou that lie aimed at preaching ten minutes in the morning. "Dear me, sir, where do you live?" asked the gentleman — (much'laughter) " I should like to come to your church every Sunday." (Continued' laughter.) He would tell them another little story. He was preaching a short time ago in Bristol, and the papers described him thus : — " The sermon was preached by that sturdy ecclesiastic — (laughter) — who has no eloquence, but is acceptable to some people because he calls a spade a spade. (Much laughter.) He accepted the description. (Cheers.)
