A SHORT SERMON.
Probably the shortest sermon proper ever preached was that which Dr Whewell founded on. the text "Man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward. '' Theidelivery occupied barely a minute,, and/the following is a verbatim report:— I shall divide the discourse into three fieads: - 1. Man's ingress into the world. 2. His progress through the world. 3. His> egress out of the world; Firstly, his ingress into the world is naked and bare. Secondly, his progress through tlie world is trouble and care. Third, his egress out of the world . is ,nobody, knows where. To conclude: If we live well here, we shall live well there. ... I can tell you no more if I preach a year.
