THE VENTILATION OF CHURCHES.
The Christian Weekly publishes a very effective, though not strictly grammatical or scientific, appeal to the sexton for a better ventilation of the churches. We quote some of the lines : " 0 Sexton ! You shet 300 men women and children Speshily the latter, up in a tite place, Sum has bad breths, none of em aint 100 sweet, Sumisfevery, sum is scroflus, sum has bad teeth And sum haint none, and sum aint over clean ; - JBut evry one of em breathes in and out and out and in Say 50 times a minnet, or I million and Vt half breths an hour : Now how long will a cherch full of are last atthat rate? I ask you; say fifteen minnets, and them what's to be did? " I put it to your konshons, . Are is the same to us as milk to babies, Or water is to fish, or pendlums to clox, Or roots and airbs unto an Injun doctor, Or little pills unto an omepath, Or Boize to gurls. Are as for us to bretZn?. What signifies who preaches if I cant broth© ? Whats Pol? What Pollus to sinners who are ded? Ded for want oEbreth?"
