A NOVEL STRIKE
The of the little village of Neho, in Denbighshire, hold strong views on the subject of personal liberty. A fortnight before the trouble broke out a preacher at the local tabernacle preached a sermon on the vice of swearing, and roundly denounced the sin. The next Sunday week no one appeared at the chapel, all the members having decided to strike. One of the frequenters of the tabernacle, speaking to another preacher, declared that although the Nebo people were undoubtedly the most accomplished swearers in England, if not in the universe, it was not right for the preacher to cast reflections on them from the pulpit. Moreover, the congregation resented any interference, and accordingly they made up their minds to keep away from chapel as a protest.
