A TERRIBLE SCOUNDREL.
It was the custom in some places for
the precemor to receive the proceeds of an annual collection for his services.
One Sab'outh, after sermon and prayer, the minister announced:
"Let us conclude the public worship of God at this time by singlnjr part of the fortieth Paraphrase. Before singing this Paraphrase I have to intimate that the usual collection will be taken next Sabbath for the precentor:
'The wretched prodigal behold, In mis'ry lying low, Whom vice had sunk from high estate, And plunged in want and woe.'
And so on to the end of the fifth verse.
