Paws for a Reply.
The following is abstracted from an address by the Bishop of Peterborough (Dr Magee) to a class of candidates for ordination : — " Most of you," he said, " will do well to avoid action in the pulpit. I shall never forget a rawboned curate I once had, with hands like legs of mutton. I can see him still preparing for a grand peroration, and leaning over the pulpit with outstretched dependent palms, as he exclaimed, ' Paws, my brethren, paws 1' "
