rarlulr church Oakland. it happened
one Sunday that in looking over the
notices of the sermons the editor of a
thin Francisco morning paper saw that
there was a subject of more than usual
interest scheduled for the First Unl-
iarlair church. 80. calling a reporter.
he said: "i see that 8 Pay Mills is
preaching on something that we may
like 00 down there and get it."
"lle preached this morning," advised
the reporter, who had also been study

“All right. Then go and find him or

he was able with great difficulty to re—

returned to the office.
“Did you find that fellow Mills." was
the first query.
"No: he has gone to San Francisco.
But i found an usher and got as much
of his talk as you will want, I fancy.“
The reporter sat down to write the ser

editor a few minutes later ‘(‘an'r you

Now, the editor knew It wasn't a qrics-i
