EASILY DONE.
A Eoman Catholic curate was pLeaching his first sermon, and choose for his text; the miracle of the loaves and fishes. But he said, " And they fed ten people with ten thousand loaves of bread and ten fishes." Thereat an old Irishman said, " That's no miracle ; I could do that myself." This the priest overheard. The next Sunday he announced the same text, but had ie right this time — " Aiid they fed ten thousand people on ten loaves of bread and ten fishes." He waited a moment and then leaning over the pulpit, he said, " Could you do that, Mr Murphy ?" Murphy replied, " Sure, yee riverence, I could ! " And how could you do it ?" " Sure, yer riverence-, I could do it with the bread left over from last Sunday."
