IRISH PREACHING.
Canon Hannay maintains that nowadays the most dramatic sermons are preached .a Ireland. A friend of his heard a preacher in a Connaught village expatiating on the terrors of hell. "The lions will roar at yez," he told the congregation. "The owls will hoot as yez. The sarpinhs will hiss at yez, and the hyenas will laugh yez to scorn." Another Irish pireacher. having described how Jezebel painted ifiT face, tired her head, and looked out of the window at Jehu, remarked. "'And would you believe it. the hussy was nigh on sixty years of age!"'
